[OK, I admit this is a bit of a rant]

why is it that some of the most mediocre art gets so much positive comment? It's one of my chief grievances with this site, that the users often comment on 'art' because it's done by someone they like, and instead of criticism or genuine feedback, they just say "Wonderful!" "Amazing!" "Perfect lighting!", when really the feeling-less, uninteresting, poorly lit and rendered art is worthy only of deletion.

I know new users deserve encouragement, and I know it's good to give positive feedback and constructive criticism, but the comments are often blindly and unrelentingly sycophantic. I can't really give examples without insulting people, but there are people in the galleries who post something mediocre in the Poser gallery every day, and get thousands of comments saying how wonderful it is, when really the image looks like something from a low-poly single-light Poser 4 scene.

Perhaps it's just me.
