Why do some on QBN...

Objective critiques can't really exist since everyone's perception is shaped by their own personal life experience. That said, of course honest, constructive criticism helps anyone grow and develop (or decide to seek another occupation), even though it's all subjective opinion. But expecting civility on QBN is not exactly realistic when fools are hiding behind a veil of pixels.
Ruining someone's day with a subjective hatchet job usually says more about the person posting than anything else. Haters are more often than not exposing their insecurities or chemical imbalances in their disses. So you gotta laugh at the heathens and yes, filter out the BS some lesser evolved cro-mags spew out.
- You don't really think my life experience affects my ability to judge someones kerning, do you?NONEIS
- the amount of experience you have kerning, and the amount of well kerned stuff versus poorly kerned stuff does, so – kinda!
Amicus - sure, there are exceptions re: traditions and norms...unless someone's making an agitprop statement with their nontraditional kerning...are there universal truths? Depends on the situation.Kiino

everyone is far too sensitive these days...
at least half of all crits put up on here a few years back were met with a simple 'shite' from save and he was pretty much correct from what i remember.
its the cocks that need to sign up new accounts before they are brave enough to type 'shite' that do my head in. grow a set of pips.

it's the fucking internet people! it's not that hard to weed out the troll/hack opinions from the legitimate critiques. buck up! everyone has an opinion! if you feel secure about your work, then stop worrying about what everyone else thinks.
...unless everyone thinks your work is garbage...then you may want to reconsider your profession.- ^
go figure: king bitch beat me to it ;)

Most of what I see called bashing around here, is an inability to accept critique, and focus on the one or two haters in a thread, or a single line in an otherwise constructive post. I rarely see a thread with zero constructive posts, so I'm on the thicker skin side of this issue, don't post it here if you can't deal with a couple of d-bags or someone who is all too willing to tell you how much you still have to learn.

Some work is shit.

most of the work is shit and if people don't realize at a fairly young age that they're best career option is probably at Kinkos then it's just setting them up for a world of disappointment down the road...
it's not "Trashing" really, think of it as "Managing Expectations"...

You either post on here because you genuinely need to know how the work looks to outsider's eyes, or because you are secretly proud of what you've done and want some glorious validation.
If its the former, you will value the negative feedback as vital to your understanding of how the work you have presented has been received to a range of people.
If its the latter, you get all mincey and accuse QBNers of being bitchy negative people, driven by jealousy to take chunks out of your magnificence.
- Hahahahahaha yes the glorious validation, it's like that first pint on a friday after workuncle_helv

Orbit, I certainly valued your critique a minute ago. I definitely valued your feedback, it was vital for me to understand how the work is to be received. You are a dragon among men. :)

It's true there are only two types of people that post items up for critique, people who want to get feedback to improve or people that want to hear good things. I don't ever post anything for feedback or critique because I have my very own josimar to run things by and he is absolutely always right.
I think that some people on here do not take criticism very well and also some folk go about introducing themselves pretty badly to begin with, but we have skt to deal with them and he is more than man enough to tell folk that they are dick whallopers yo!.

if you cant take a truthful or even harsh crit then you shouldnt even be in this business!
If someone justifiably slates your stuff you should be able to stand up for your own work and answer back.
At art college we used to do crits at the end of each project where everyone would take turn to stand up and show their work and talk about it, then the lecturer would tell you what he thought and try pick it to bits then folk in the class would ask questions or try to rip it to bits.
This kind of experience sets you up for the REAL world where you get c*nts of clients.
If it's one person telling you that your stuff is crap then yeah he/she might just be being a c*ck.
If it's a whole bunch of people telling you that your stuff is crap then maybe you should look at developing your design skills a bit further.And very experienced designers on here ARE willing to help and give constructive criticism but some (like the case of ol Rybo) thought it was a personal attack and retaliated. Granted he did take on board some criticism when he realised people were only trying to help.

23kon, personally I find, in the real world, everyone pretty much says, "Yeah we love it." to anything.
Except creative directors who say, "Yeah, let's try it like this." until you exhaust every possible design. And then they go with your first one.

I get that a lot too, very rarely that a client will not like the first designs i do.
It's usually the really small jobs where you've scoped doing a logo might take you a few hours so dont charge a lot, then it turns out they are the fussiest bastard ever and you go well over time allocated to the job to finally get something they are happy with.
And it's not that the designs are crap, its just that they are a fussy bastard.

really ... you have two options ...
- constructive criticism (value, fact based, merit)
- big dick criticism (no-value, ego based, lacking of personal trait that needs to be reflected upon subject to feel better, no merit aka small dick syndrome.
