The same could be said of several other people. Ever since the oldmembers' departure, we've been giving criticism without insulting anyone, and I'm really satisfied with this. If someone is a shithead that don't want to change, fine, I won't force him/her either. It's its choice after all.
And I totally agree with this. It's one thing to give honest criticism to fellow artists even if it gets somewhat brutal. But how far can some one go when they're harsh with criticism? I think that's sort of a concern to an artist who might feel like they're getting shot down for their work.
That being said, even if we are polite when we give our criticism there's still going to be our share of children who expect their asses to be kissed and want to receive praise for an edit or recolor. Now, I wouldn't mind that at all if they want to keep it out of the spriting discussion, which is why I'm still for a board that should be for just showing your sprites. That way we can keep those members in an area where they won't receive criticism. And if they want it they can go to the spriting discussion.
