K10Dguy's fictional prose are definitely not gibberish. Nor are they memories triggered by a photo. He himself refers to them as Stephen King-like short stories. I don't have any issues with k10. He has agreed to remove his short stories, if he inadvertently writes a hurtful message on one of my images. He's a good person and I have encouraged him to continue his writing....for those who wish to receive that kind of entertainment. |

And posting what you like (or don't like) is exactly what the comment box is for -- no one else here is qualified to express your reaction.
Let me also reiterate something I and many others here have noticed over the years, that you learn far more about making a good picture from the comments you make than from those you receive.
We have two on-site tutorials, 9 Guidelines for Giving and Receiving Feedback and Commenting For Beginners (A Non-Analytical Approach) which could help ... |

I guess I am not understanding the type of comments that are bothering you then. Can you offer a generic example of what you find to be useless gibberish? |

By the way he checks helpful I think it means gibberish is any comment with some constructive criticism. Most comments checked helpful in his profile are comments that are praising, anything with a suggestion on improvement is left unchecked...hmmm, sure you welcome constructive criticism? |

Currently in an unfinished challenge, I have 10 comments. Four of those comments contain definitive constructive criticism and suggestions for improvement. All 10 comments have been marked "helpful".
I don't spend a lot of time at this website. I've received many comments which should have been marked helpful, which I simply didn't see. I'll try to catch up on those marks.
There are examples of comments which I feel are nonsense/gibberish. I'm not going to list them....mostly, those are the ones which don't make sense or offer any understandable comment or offer any kind of photo related comment.... good or bad.
eta: You know that when a comment is made, it can be checked as helpful. But then, if the voter revises their vote or edits their comment or even scrolls through their votes, the check mark is removed. Anyone else notice this? I think a lot of comments were marked helpful, but I didn't revisit the comments after the challenge was over to check them again.

Yes, I've noticed that. I usually see it in conjuntion with a change in my score with no change in the amount of votes, indicating that commenter probably revised their vote. |

So I went and commented on every shot I voted a 3 and under on in the glasses challenge, giving some constructive critique, and then scattered about a few other comments that I didn't think were particularly helpful and were certainly not critique.
Two days later, and what are the comments marked helpful? The ones that weren't the critiques. lol.
Not a single one of the comments on the photos I voted 3 and under have been marked helpful.
Yay for completely un-scientific and inaccurate experiments! |

It must be sad to only care about the technicals and not give a damn about whether you've connected with your viewer, caused any emotional response, made them smile or think...
Then again, that might be helpful if you just want to be a stock photographer.
Personally, I love comments, good, bad AND ugly.
(and have been searching for something good enough for a freestudy just for to enter the K10Dguy lottery) |

well, if you did some research, you'd find out that my comments run the gamut of scores in a free study ;) They also pretty much run the gamut of styles and subjects.
Bottom line, you can't get one if you don't enter at all thinking you don't have something that'll get one.
What a catch 22. |

I would rather have 20% comments required, and no scores needed.... :-) |

But I'd really rather not get the brown ribbon, and I'm not finding anything freestudy-worthy that wouldn't risk browning. I guess I need to actually get out and shoot, eh? :) |
