Users who submit extremely poor models/textures should be -rep'd

[redscores]

SuPa, as always, simply think about your time as newb, did you got neg repped for your work? (at the time where you were totally newby at making textures) And you got Feedback, and you got very good... so why do you want to change it? You should give other uses the same chance as you got, so, stop it, you are acting like a kid.

But the thing you don't get here is that that harsh attitude helped me improve.

As much as some people would like for everyone to have the same psychology, this cannot be said for everyone.

Don't -rep them! SuPa-, STFU!

I'm pretty sure SuPa- has realized that -repping is out of the question by now, and has retracted his proposal. Of course, I may have interpreted this wrong:

I see your point in all this... BUT I still like the idea of a harsher attitude by resource moderators

 

[Ralle]

If it was up to me. I would not like our users to improve from harsh critic. However, harsh critic is better than no critic.

Wrongly nice critique is worse than no critique.

Great!!!11 1111/5!!!

and

SUXXX!!!!11 0/643634!!

That is usual "critique"

Actually, to be more accurate on the usual harsh critique:

"This <texture/model> sucks. Learn to <texture/model> before you show it off. 1/10"

Usual nice critique for poor content:

"It's good, but needs work. I give it 4.5/10. Keep it up!"

Both criticisms, harsh and polite, need to improve. Telling someone it sucks and they need to 'keep working on it' is not nearly good enough.

No. "It's good, but needs work. I give it 4.5/10. Keep it up!"
People will actually THINK it looks GOOD. Sometimes you just have to tell the truth. "This is shite", but only if it REALLY is.

 

[Craka_J]

True. But I don't think you should point the poorness of it out in such a vulgar way. Instead of saying "This fucking sucks and is nothing but utter shit. Keep working on it." You can instead say tell them what exactly about it that is poorly made, even if the entire thing is poorly made. Also, give them suggestions and hints on how to fix it up to look better. Its way more helpful than saying "It sucks, keep working."

How about; "Not all that great of a (whatever resource). You need to work on these areas_____ . Keep practicing. 1/10"

Neither of those are critiques. Those are just people saying their opinions. Critiques say what they did right and what they need to work on, and give advice on how to improve.

Hard to give a good enough example to prove my points... time to find links!
