I believe I hear faint cheering from another discussion because I am posting here instead lol
This is in no way meant to upset anyone and I hope it does not.
There has been a bit of bombardment from various directions recently regarding our voting and commenting habits. Some members get upset about this, some defensive, some could not give a hoot, and others never even notice. Some do take notice and have a think about things.
May I suggest respectfully that anyone reading this take a look HERE Ignore the order and the upload numbers, they are not so important and just look at your own figures for commenting and voting. Don't compare your numbers with anyone elses - this is about you, not what other people do.If you are happy with what you see, on this particular day, taking into account the time you have had available, and are satisfied that you have done your best then don't worry - be happy. Any of us can only do our best and if we have, I think we have no need to feel bad.
Also take a look at the New Artists list HERE Can you remember your first upload? I can, I was petrified and wished I could unclick the upload button. I remember most of the commenters I had on that image and especially the first one - Dwight (jacked) He welcomed me with friendliness and respect, said a few encouraging words about my picture and wished me well. The image finally scored 34,more than I believe it deserved, but the welcome I received made me keep trying, and I stayed. It only takes a minute to say hello to someone, and those who are keen to adopt a new member may even find a suitable match there. There are new members who have confidence and are skilled already in what they do but I believe most are tentative and apprehensive.
