This has been achin' me for quite some time now...
Why have all you Newgrounders been so nice?!
Newgrounds was and still IS a great site for flash, audio, and now even art!
But everyone has been so merciful towards these mediocre artists that post their random stupid sh** here!
If you don't show some critic's backbone, nobody will ever learn and they'll think that their mediocre random stupid sh** is ok and fine the way it is!
If you don't explain what needs improving and not show so much sympathy for "newbies" than that's the only thing we'll keep getting!
Teach animators to make better things!
Tempt musicians to produce better audio!
And inspire artists to draw better art!
I'm not cold blooded, but I'm not completely merciful!
Do you know how long it's been since I've seen a flash under judgment that I actually gave a perfect 10?!
This is the cause of babying new flash animators!
You gotta bring down the hammer of votes and the axe of reviews!
All I really ask is,
there are very few flash submissions that might even be considered perfect,
so please, do the animator a favor and actually take the 30 seconds to tell them what can be better about their flash. Even if it's total crap, tell them how to make it seem like less crap.
Unless, of course...it DESERVES to be hated.
Than I believe that it should be removed without question.
Filtering is my key point here.
Once you filter out the dirt, there's bound to be some gold.
That's all I really ask.
Oh! And a message to all you flash artists that cant take some freaking constructive criticism...
Take the advice, don't shun it.
Advice goes a long way on here.
You wont win fans unless you listen to them.
And if you actually took the time to read this, thanks =]
I hope I struck a cord lol
