Im fed up now

Ever since i've been a member here nearly every thread has been turned into an arguement. Its seriously pathetic and i arent just speaking for myseld when i say im fed up of it.
Why cant you just either stay on topic or at least argue with the person in private?
Keep threads on topic and dont be a prat when it comes to replying. When somebody asks for feedback give them some constrictive critisism dont just insult them.

Seriously this forums become a pain to post in because any thread somebody starts is likely to be swerved off topic become some childish sod starts an arguement over something small or something that isnt to do with the topic.

Dont say this shouldnt be posted here as it should as its to do with the threads and members in this forum.

I agree to this, (even though I am a very negative person)
Most things do lead to arguements, mainly because people believe they
are better and have the right to be ignorant.

who gives a flying ****!

You obviously dont :)

perhaps goto devode.net

But I am getting pissed off aswell.

Especially when people won't listen.

And I know from personal experience. All people ask is for some feedback and advice and all you get is. "Drop dead" "Quit the forum" "Stop designing"
I mean what the hell? Thats no-way to treat someone.

And I am on Devode.net :P

The reason arguments start in this forum is because everyone thinks they know what they're talking about. If you've only been in the business for a year maybe two then you don't have the right to actually comment on a piece or work in a non-constructive manner. Where as those with the experience know that constructive comments don't actually help. As 9 times out of 10 they are a load of bull and only make it look worse or you get the wrong idea and balls it up. People are also better to hear the honest and blunt truth as it makes them more self aware of their work however violence is not the answer as always (ignoring the fact of murderers, then yes killing them is the answer).

You'll also find a lot of people are only posting for the sakes of a couple of posts in their post count, they won't write out good lengthy posts when it comes to commenting on someones work. Quite often I will, it may not be a nice one but none the less it is a lengthy one :)

I'm sorry but I don't agree. Abusive comments is not needed. Saying it's disgusting when someone asks for FEEDBACK is not what the thread was about. If someone said I'd like you all to slate and hate my new design thats fair enough, heh. But I do agree people who are PROPER designers such as yourself and others do reserve the right to tell the truth but being the good designers you are it wouldn't hurt to give some ideas would it?

No the difference is I wouldn't be where I am today if all the comments I got were;

"It's nice :)"

I got to where I am from trying to prove people wrong and always being better than the other person. In most cases it's pulled off and actually got me known in the area of Habbo fansite design. I'm not trying to do one better and take with into professional website design. Of course it will be a lot harder but if all I get is;

"It's nice :)"

Then I'm gonna fail, where as when I post images of Zedtu and so on. The bad comments are the ones that make my sites improve rather than the ones suggesting ideas. :)

Yes you wouldn't be where you was if the comments you got were "nice"
I didn't ask for "nice" comments. I asked for feedback, meaning ideas for potential clients. What everyone would like to see on the website. Not just disgusting. If you noticed when I posted the first preview all I got was slate. Then to prove them all wrong I attempted ANOTHER design and got slightly better comments. And I'm working to improve on the design more and more until it gets to the point where people are saying its nice but can still be improved here and there.
