On "Don't download it".

[I'll Begin]

The year was Over 9000 BC. Young Fred Flintstone was making a rock carving, when his friend Barney notifies him of a mistake he made. Fred fixes it, and now it's the awesome Mt. Rushmore you see today. This gave birth to what we now know today as constructive criticism.

Now, that story made no sense. But my point is, criticism is good.

[WAD master]

I'm not saying it's bad. You're just accusing me of that.

What you think isn't always true.

[CobaltBW]

Uh. I think he's talking to ah2190.

[Nev3r]

"Don't download if you don't like it." ...Meh, if you don't download it, how do you know you like or you don't like it? It's just a silly comment :\

[Latius]

I was showing how some people might look at it, Dark.

Nev3r, you don't need to download stuff not to like it - just the screenshots could turn you off. But that's not to say not to download it. What I do is that I have a look at it on the SRB2DoomBuilder, and see what would be in store if I went and played it.

I believe I have explained that if they don't understand what criticism is, as opposed to taunting/flaming/insulting/etc, they need to go back to elementary school. The difference is obvious. If they don't like criticism, as I've said, that's just too damn bad.

For some noobs, maybe just opening SOCEdit is hours of work? I can't say too much though...i have no clue how to do all that, and when i ask, people get all mad at me....
(sad sigh)

[Nev3r]

You can do just a little change on a soc, and make that look cool... but if you wanna do something complicated, you have to blow your head up ;D

Actually I think it was me who started it. Today I still feel bad about what I said. :cry:

[Segmint]

There's no way you could've started it. This topic was posted May 28, while your join date is July 27.

[SuperSonic64]

I still feel bad about myself saying that though *sob*

[hypershadow96]

Almost EVERY place i go there is something like

Or even

I HATE THAT KIND OF CRITZIEM

I'd seriously like to see the topics where you are drawing these examples from. Despite some of the exceptional n00bishness I've seen in Releases/Editing topics, I have not yet seen something come even close to what you just said.

Also, your example of criticism is difficult to read, and too vague. Criticism that is too vague is utterly useless.

Address what parts of the level need to be bigger, and what parts of the level need more rings. That would make what you stated an example of decent criticism.

Truthfully, if I made a wad that does exactly the same thing as yours but better, and mine came first, I'm not going to play yours.

Editing/Editing releases sections.
On the old pages. All those locked topics. There.

edit: seriously... I checked.

[Rob]

Provide links please.

[GokuSSJ6]

What do in this topic "sonicfreak64"?(this post is stupid)

[sonicfreak94]

*coughwrongnamecough*

You mixed two names...

[marcsancessoftware]

Of course publish a wad and saying "Don't download it if you don't want" is useless.(Except the admin comment that you mustn't say it...)

[Namo]

I think the first post is about the most intelligent thing I've ever heard. In things such as art and programming, or in this case, wadding, is something that, if bad, needs constructive criticism. That's how people improve at things.
