Automated comment request feature

This is the designated forum for feedback concerning the automatic comment request feature. It comes in the form of a "Job" that asks you to make a comment on a specific image that was recently uploaded but has yet to receive many comments. We are currently doing limited tests of this feature, so you may or may not see the comment request yourself.

I certainly don't mind giving the odd comment on a photo, especially one that doesn't get much critique. If it helps in a positive way, then so be it.

I think this automated comment request is a fantastic idea. I think comments are the best show of appreciation for a picture. feedback is the most constructive "thank you" whether good or bad.

I don't mind the comment request at all. I also understand the need for the voting booth. We'll get these things refined in time. I think the request may serve me well when I post an image that nobody notices...and it happens.

The more I am able to give on comments, the more I learn too. I am sticking with caedes because they DO try and even tho many are creatures of habit...remaining openminded is such a great tool. We can shovel into our little "brain sponges"...and just absorb....the comment request is a great plus for caedes..."three cheers!!!"...........V

I like this automatic request for comment. It helps to get comments to works that might not be very interesting, but where the poster needs comment to help grow. i"ve found some pretty nice images that I would have missed. I'm also appauled at the low c index on some pretty fine images. What are people thinking. Are people giving low scores because they resent having to vote before posting??? I wonder.

I think that it is only possible to get 3 comment requests a day, but that is still very unlikely since it only gives them to a (hopefully random) small sample of the total caedes population. Fir instance I've only receive one a few days ago. I'll check the system to make sure that it isn't sorting the usernames alphabetically or anything similarly silly.

Dum dum dum another one bites the dust. It's all gravy. I like it as it pushes me to really think about pieces I would not normally choose to look "AT" & provide my "OPINION" instead of skirting away from pieces I simply "JUST DONT LIKE" should the world of Caedes become flexible and empathatic, nope as where would people with different muse's get an opinion from a completely different genre of work. For me Apophysis pretty much does the work for you then it's down to the quality of the render however recently I uploaded a piece of photography I was very happy with, soft lolita effect and god capture of movement without blur, concidering this was a heavy night out I did really very well. Now instead of an entity not thinking about the piece and providing sound and solid advice that im used to it went into the pit of "contravercial" and with no reason why. If people such as above cant think outside of the box and comment on work they dont like and as a consequence rally to get it binned it seems a little harsh as being 26, red blooded male what do you think my inspirations are.

I would of liked an aoutomated comment request feature so people could provide sound advice technically and opinion seperatley. Did not work out that way though.

I'm a little late to the discussion here. Most of you don't know me, I found this site 3 or 4 months ago and have been completely in love w/it. My desktop rotates images every 1/2 hour, and alot of them have come from this site.

I'm the senior computer artist @ my company, which means that A) By the time I get home, the last thing I wanna do is draw, but I do have a couple of images in my head that I'll get out someday and post, and B) I give critique all day long. I have been a freeloader for far too long here, and have no issues with being asked to give useful criticism on an image when I come on. (actually, I like it, it makes me feel less guilty).

Samatar gave an excellent definition of how to give positive feedback. Coach things in an "I like", "in my opinion", "i think that" manner. 2 likes for a dislike is an excellent balance. Even if you end up with 1 like and 2 dislikes, be gentle. You want to leave the poster feeling they have positive encouragement to improve their images and keep posting.

For those who feel they don't know how to find what they like, here are a few things you can look at specifically. Are there particular colors you enjoy? The palette of colors used? The contrast? The way an image is cropped or framed? What objects are central/focused in the image? The evocative mood of the image? One of the big things people miss with photography is the way the image is framed and or lit. These are the biggest choices a photographer makes. Moving a shot 2 inches to the left, or moving in closer or widening up create different overall impressions when you look @ a photo, so think about how you would feel if the shot was framed differently. Lighting evokes moods, so do you like the way this was done? or would u like to see more contrast? maybe you'd like to see the lighting coming from a different direction?

Now that I've written a book here, I'll give one last opinion and go away. I'm sorry that people have given you bad critiques Morwyn. One of the things that i've loved about this site is that people are encouraged to keep improving. Not everybody who comments will know what they're talking about, but alot of people out there who don't "know the rules" do appreciate art & photography, and can give you feedback on things that you wouldn't have thought of, maybe because it's not where you were going with that image. Read what they have to say, consider it, if you disagree, reject it and keep on going. That being said (this appears to be the postscript to the book here), I totally agree that if you come across an image in your requests that is outside a range of art that you like, or you feel like you cannot honestly offer USEFUL critique, you should shut it down and go away.

*waves* ty everybody for all the great art I've gotten from here.

What about pictures you really don't want to comment on because they're not your thing? For example, pictures of people's kids. Okay, some of them are cute, but I wouldn't use a picture of someone's kid on my computer who I didn't even know in real life. It's easier to just say nothing and vote on it, since I'm not a photography expert anyway. Besides, I don't feel that it's right to say something that might be construed as negative about a photo that's just personal anyway.

Just skip it then. I do sometimes (if it stinks so bad I see no potential in it in any way and see little room to leave some positive feedback with the comment (really, I do try doing that!^_^)). There's no obligation to comment just because you got a request. It's just that... a request. It's not an order and doesn't come with a gun to our heads, proverbial or otherwise. At least this is the way I see it.

I just came across the automated image request I had to take a long break and I think its a good thing. Although I couldn't say it was the best image I have seen it gives fair
chances to images you might pass over.I find a lot of times the preview and what lies in the full image are very decieving. I am more likely to click on an image with an appealing preview and pass the others by.
I am very happy with this change and feel it gives new artists and photographers a fair(I hope) shot and hopefuly constructive comments on how to improve their craft.

Hehe... LOL!!! (Didn't you miss a word or so in that last sentence? I got your message though...) Do you hear me whine now about the new c-index system and peoples bad and stupid criticism or how low my c-index is? There is less bias in this system as far as I'm concerned. I'm glad to you didn't get targeted by some of the "individuals" that were rampaging here in the good old times... Consider yourself lucky then. Who's whining when is probably just a point of view... ;)

You said you "never saw any of it", as in bias towards friends in Niks post above. (And that for me includes bias towards enemies.) I guess I'm still targeted too... If it gets their rocks off who am I to stand in their way? I was just confused by your finish about "just the whiners talking", and since I had a high profile earlier in a similar debate I didn't feel like being pointed out as being just another *la di da primadonna* whiner... People doesn't usually include themselves when talking bout whiners... Maybe I got you wrong?

You were never included in the whiners.. The biggest ones no longer with us and the others have quit saying anything.. It is still fairly easy to target someone in the voting booth or in comments.. It still happens, so nothing was accomplished as far as I'm concerned..

Ok, thanks. ;) I guess you are right. I've just settled for that it will not be any big change to the situation as it is atm... I guess I don't strictly speaking believe in technical solutions to problems that involve human relations in a manner of speaking...

You are right.. I have no interest in trying to change anything.. I am just to old to care much and since this is no longer the only site I post images on, I get a truer evaluation of my art.. This place is addictive and I have made many friends, so this is where I "hang out".. Also there are many young artists I do my best to help.. Even if some people don't understand what I am doing..

Hehe... I see.

Now seriously though, what would the world look like if we went around and understood each-other all the time? :P

True. ^_^ I wonder how I came to the same conclusion about people though. I'm only half your age. ;) I guess I must be a prodigy. :P I'm outspoken too. Man... I feel like a freak. Hehe... Just kidding. It's bedtime here in old Europa... Don't take everything I say too seriously. (But you knew that, right... ;) )
