CC Threads

[Kardan]

I always thought the CC tags on a thread meant that any reply had to be constructive explaining what they did well and not just "love it" and what they did not so well and not just "don't like it sorry".

Surely they would just be labelled as C then? CC means Constructive Criticism, so only applies to negative comments.

But the post still says you're not allowed to post pointlessly, so surely 'I love it' would still be against the rules.

I would say it is fair in non-CC threads unless it's obviously a post count boost attempt when they do a pigperson and go through every thread in the section, only read the first post and make a generic reply.

I believe that's @Aaron; not @Pigperson; ly Aaron.

Oh @Jordan; I meant before CC tags sorry !

Would it not be easier just to say when the [CC] tag is there that you have to state a reason for your opinion? Therefore it applies to both negative and positive. For example, "I dislike it because the eye looks weird" or "I like it because the eye is perfectly done". It's a much simpler statement and would then apply to anything, so when someone says "I like the last one", they would still have to provide some reasoning. While it may not be the most detailed description of errors and stuff, it can perhaps make them more noticable to the person who created the piece.

Saying something is good isn't criticism and elaborating further as to why you think is good doesn't make it constructive. To my understanding, the tag is there for those that only want to improve their work and are on the lookout for those negative points so that they can make changes. People seem to be using the tag with no intention to alter their graphics whatsoever, so why is the option to tag even there?

Yes but evidently they don't like that concept as it doesn't promote discussion or w/e.

Which is why the tags should be scrapped completely!

I agree the tags should be scrapped, but the rules have been re-written and thats I think thats the only fair thing we could have done to please everyone.
