Unfortunately its all subjective, the language of all of the descriptions of the challenges leaves room for the subjective natuture of the artists interpretation. I get does not meet the challenge from time to time, but it is really a ridiculous statement. If the site is about "art" or whatever we have to deal with other interpretations of the challenges. Unless the challenge descriptions become more concrete and offer more restrictions we are going to have to make and receive comments like that.

I was trying to ignore this post.
I hate to get "does not meet the challenge" comments. It always torques me. I usually start hollering at the computer in a sarcastic tone things like..."Well, excuuuuuuse me. Who do you think you are? If you'd take more than a second to look at it maybe you'd see blah blah blah."
When someone posts: In my opinion this does not meet the challenge because it's a flower challenge and you submitted a cat, I take another look at my photo and say, "Hmmmm, What was I thinking?"
Exaggerated a bit for emphasis.

I have been in and around the military for all my life and it is a haven for acronyms. It really gets frustrating trying to interpret what people are trying to say with them. Especially when they want to create their own, which I did (idts). Obviously it wasn't received very well.

My personnal view on this.... If you think that a picture is dnmc , but you don't want to explain... than just don't comment on it. I do prefer a comment that explain why they think that it did not meet the challenge than somethingh like dnmc ...

If that's all you want to say in a comment, than just give a low score and don't botter with the comment.


I totaly agree with this

Thanks Leon

Nice to have some support on this, I do agree that a picture may not fit the challenge, but it's nice to know why the voters do think so.

I think some posters are making the mistake of thinking that everyone who feels that an entry does not meet the challenge is going to vote that entry low. That is not always the case.
Also some are assuming the the proposed abreviation, dnmc, would always be the total extent of a comment. That will not always not be the case either.

The originator of the thread simply proposed using a short way of saying something that is often repeated here, both in comments and in the forums. I see nothing wrong with using dnmc. Only time will tell if it becomes accepted by the community. There is no need to bog the proposal down with judgements about how often it should be used, the usefulness of topics in creative education, etc., etc. ad infinitum.

Back to my original point -- the time you've spent in this thread alone, typing and what not...is probably more than enough time to type 'doesn't meet challenge' in 200 entries.

Also, I'm not sure how you type, but for me, it takes about a second to type 'doesn't meet challenge'. More time is wasted clicking the score and waiting for an image to appear when the server is busy (and yes, I have cable internet).

Put your time into the comments if you're so interested in helping people instead of discussing your little short-cut methods here...seriously, I'm not trying to be offensive, but helpful and point out to you how you can be helpful like you want to be without waisting what little time you do have.

TV, AM, PM, USA, UN, UNICHEF, UK, ASPCA, URL'S, DPC, etc etc.. isn't it true that our vocabulary is already so contaminated with dnmc-speak that it really doesn't matter? IMO, IMHO, LMAO, ROFL...;-)

I put DOF on a comment to a chalenge entry and it started a thread about "what does DOF mean?" What do you think will happen if you start writing dnmc? It's not a common photographic term. You have the right to do it, but it will cost you more time in replying to PMs then the few seconds it saved to type it.

Does Not Merit Comment.

I agree entirely!! I think it's hilarious, that one would perceive typing "dnmc" as a help to the photographer. Chances are, if a photograph "questionably" meets the challenge, the photographer is probably aware of this, and will be scored down by many for it.

If you don't have something helpful/constructive to say, keep it to yourself. Or if you really feel the need to tell them it didn't meet the challenge, something like this may be more appropriate, "Nice lighting, interesting subject, however I didn't find the connection to the challenge".

If you're short on time for leaving comments, don't waste your time telling people what they already know. Use your time to help someone with an aspect of their technique, or to give praise for a job well done.

But hey, that's just my two cents.

The most common complaint I've seen on these forums is that some people vote 1,2,or 3 without an explanation. Now I'm hearing you can only give positive feedback. DNMC will easily and clearly explain why the photo got a 3. Do you want to know or not. By the way, I've never given a 1 or 2, do give some 3's.

I didn't say the feedback had to only be positive, I said constructive and helpful to the photographer. If you tell me "dnmc" how does this help me to be a better photographer?

The example i used was a positive example. However, "lighting is poor, image looks grainy, subject boring and does not appear to meet challenge" would be more helpful than "dnmc".

Please reread my entire post to understand what I am trying to say.
