How many times have we heard people complain about ratings given and the lack of comments for why a particular rating.
How about this one; giving a comment but not rating a skin and becoming the focus of abuse from the person because... well, who knows why.
I looked at a blind recently that had been given a mediocre rating. A few comments were the typical ra-ra type, "rating should have been higher" and "great blind". Usually when other skinners say this I'll take a look and this case was no different. Just looking the preview, it had some solid looking graphics but the text margins for the start menu were off in the border and some other areas as well. Essentially the blind was not complete.
So I mentioned that I thought the graphics were good with good presentation but that there obvious text margin issues even from the preview and if a higher rating were desired a little more attention wouldn't hurt. Again, I didn't rate the blind.
So now I'm the focus of abuse for this individuals disappointments. They've removed all of their uploads and left in a huff. So if constructive comments are received in such a fashion I certainly can see why someone would hesitate to make a mention.
But then again, I don't think blowing smoke up someone's skirt helps either. If you're going to help or review someone else's blind, then honesty is the only way to go. If anyone actually reviewed that blind the text margins would have been obvious and corrected before submission.
Just my thoughts.
