Under moderation in graphics., rules anyone?

[dbgtz]

So I reported a post yesterday because it was pointless. Whilst I appreciate the want to loosen moderation, the posts were just so pointless. I overlooked it for a while but it just frustrated and I reported having stated it was not the first, all by the same person aswell.

I would like to add this is not an attack on the user as clearly the rules are never enforced.

Continuing on, it has also been seen that no one wants this relaxed moderation in graphics. Also my change of rule idea was seemingly ignored considering no relevant staff actually posted. Both points are seen here: http://www.habboxforum.com/showthread.php?t=743861

The graphics forum on here just seems like any other forum and I rarely have the botheredness to post in there anymore due to the fact I can foresee 90% of comments (and I'm betting you foresaw I posted this). The graphics forum has really gone downhill in the quantity of posting, and I think that by allowing such useless posting on posts which want serious feedback puts people off posting in the forum.

i have just been looking at sam's new chibi thread where she specifically asked for c+c and everything (apart from 2 posts towards the end) "so cute". it's like what.......

you have to realise that if a pretty picture is posted and somebody likes it but has no graphical knowledge whatsoever they aren't likely to just exit the thread. besides, most people that post their art/photography etc. don't really post for cc.

always gonna have a few of us who are critical and (although sometimes it doesnt seem so) want to offer advice for improvement and then the majority of others who just like looking at pictures or want a few quick post count. oh well.

You don't need graphical knowledge to have an opinion on certain aspects or whatever. Anyway, the suggested rule would suggest anything (within reason) can be replied unless the OP specifically asks for some CC.

yeh and the "greats" are usually despite a few faults in the photos etc. But then again, people who actually want help won't go here to post them, but an actual photography forum. If the rules are changed, you risk constructive posts being there, but activity plummeting short term, maybe longer term it could get more people to post, dunno.

[@]dbgtz[/@] but there is no rule that states that other people that don't personally see anything wrong with it can't tell the OP that it's a nice piece. never going to be able to stop pointless posting and tbh warning every user that posts a comment like 'that's great' or 'i like it' is just going to deter people further. grin and bear it imo.

this really,

i'm as unopinionated as they come, the only comment i'd make on graphics would probably be 'well done', 'that's nice' etc, the forum is pretty quiet as it is, we don't need to deter people further as kyle says.

I wasn't too fussed that I didn't get CC. It's mainly when I post something other than a Chibi whereby I get about 30 replies of the same thing. I also sort of held on to no hope even with asking for CC I didn't mind that one admitted that they didn't have CC for me and told me why; I don't mind that. If it's a one off sort of thing I don't mind.

This is about the 3rd thread on graphics in a couple of months and they all seem to get ignored, not sure why if I'm honest as I think graphics can be a really active part of the forum.

Was it @Dave.; who said that you should get CC when asked could have been @Kyle; @Kasabian; or @dbgtz; and if not it should be classed as pointless. I mean it would suffice if on a thread they said 'I don't like the hair, it looks odd, overall it's cute though' least it's giving more depth. Also, not digging at any member as so many members do it so you can't pin point one!

[Jordan]

I do like the idea of if they ask for CC you give it to them, if you ain't don't reply. It is annoying when you see people replying to threads with stupid replies when the OP asks for some actual feedback on how to improve. Would be good if @scott; @brandon; have a look into this.

None of those posts were pointless :/ They were all in context and served a purpose - he liked the alts. You're suggesting that members should be more descriptive when making posts, and suggesting all members should be strong, art critics
