I just feel this forum has a lot of barriers for newbies who wan to post pics.. For example, im one of those...
I mean, its a simple thing, there are a lot of kinds of ppl in this world..
1) Some just wan to take photos and not share..
2) Some just wan to post or share, dont wan comments..
3) Some might just wan to post, seek opinions and improve, but dont wish to have a slam down comments...
4) Some can take any kinds of comments....
For me, personally, i think my photos are far from most guys here, although i seek for improvement, there is never once i thought of putting my photos up... I would really appreciate if some ppl can give me some comments or pointers on what is wrong and where to improve..
But I dont think i will feel nice if ppl criticise the photos or worst still, say until it seems like the pics not even fit to clarify as a photo which i have put effort in....
I mean if anyone who wish to help someone to improve, the tone and the way they say is very important...
If the way is too harsh, there are only 2 results...
1) The newbie will take it well and improve as the time goes by...
2) The newbie just forget about posting or seeking help in forum anymore.. (I dont think a forum should be this way)
This is a suggestion, I hope mods can consider about it..
If my suggestion is too ridiculous or impossible, Im sorry and please ignore this suggestion of mine...
I hope the Photo Galleries will be free of those harsh comments...
Harsh comments will only be allowed in another section, example like Critique Corner which allows harsh or criticise comments which people who post inside can take harsh comments...
I think this will help a lot of people like newbies who really wish to improve..
Like what some people said, this kind of things is not the 1st time, and wont be the last too...
