Re: What's the accepted behavior on constructive criticism?
Yes indeed.When a critique is phrased like, " Next time you may want to try..." it is likely to be recieved in the manner it was meant to be. Posting on the internet removes s many of the nuances of face to face communication. Emoticons help a little bit. But articulation really takes on new dimensions in this manner of interaction.BorgR3mc0 wrote:I say, number 2, constructive critism is acceptable. When you give a critique one should try in beeing balanced, also note the positive. Furthermore, I try to avoid "absolute" words and sentences like "you must do XYZ", "XYZ is wrong", "it is common knowledge that....", etc.
I try to use "softer" sentences like: "may I suggest", "as far as I know", "you could use ....". Because when I critique I am giving my interpretation of that model and not an absolute truth.
And when recieving a critique I try to remember that it is not personal.
Lastly, I take into account what I know of this modeller. What is his skill level? And how long is he on the forum? If I know somebody from the forum for a year or more I can be a bit more upfront with my critque because there is more mutual trust.

As Lyle put it as long as it is in a way to help improve ones build and not to degrade.
