Interesting points, guys. Neil, I don't think Mark was getting personal. 😀nelson said:i never said they're opinions weren't constructive :? .just different.Mark Evans said:nelson said:but a big difference of opinion on it from here in the UK and from MAC forum in Malaysia.
that's because they can handle criticism better than us. and on reading, their comments are very constructive. Stan's always the man in my book.
i'd much rather people said what they thought on my journals.good or bad 🙂 .
i've a lot to learn still and would welcome input.especially from people with your skill 😉 .
Very wise words indeed.chuppy said:It's tough sometimes. Sometimes I don't know which direction I'm going in the hobby.. (you know what they say, lack of inspiration or aspiration.. either way.
Then i realized Its about how you enjoy your tank's scape with its ups and downs. I mean, it's definitely not easy to please the judges or the world . Not everybody has the same taste but in the end of the day, you who are fertilizing it daily, clearing out algae , mopping the floor out from the canister filter faulty rubber o ring leak, should enjoy the every process and come out happy with your own tank. ( It's a huge bonus to get a good ranking in competitions though!! )

Mark Evans said:there's only a handful of people who give constructive critique. The main one, is George. without his critique on some of my stuff, I'd of not achieved certain things in my tank.
yeah,i did take this the wrong way 😳 .George Farmer said:Interesting points, guys. Neil, I don't think Mark was getting personal. 😀

sorry Mark 😉 .
i was just trying to point out that there is quite a big difference in "tastes" between East and West.

Fair comments, Dave, but I also think that the 'high fiving and back slapping' you refer to is important to some extent, as a form of positive encouragement. Some members may need more encouragement than others. Not all of us are perhaps as self-assured as you... 😀Dave Spencer said:Mark Evans said:that's because they can handle criticism better than us. and on reading, their comments are very constructive.

I`m glad I stumbled across this comment, as I rarely bother with journals. For me, there is far too much high fiving, back slapping etc when people post their tanks, without any worthwhile comments on the scape.
My guess is that you are right, and people don`t take criticism too well on UKAPS.
Dave.

Dave Spencer said:This sounds reasonable. I wonder whether there would be enough traffic to justify a sub forum for people wanting a critique of their work.
