Alright, so this is sort of in conjunction with a lot of other soapbox articles, namely Temptasia's two các bài viết on link and link. It is also a sister bài viết to thecon's link. Additionally, it's minutely related (like a very distant cousin) to megloveskyle's bài viết on link. But I really wanted to stress the importance of constructive criticism here. So at the risk of sounding (exceptionally) redundant, I wish to discuss the importance of expressing yourself, taking responsibility for your actions, and not rating and running. Forgive me if this is all too familiar (thecon's bài viết summed it up nicely). But I needed to rant. Rate this bài viết bad if bạn want. But at least let me know ya did. ;o)
As a writer and an actor, I receive and work with constructive criticism on a daily basis, and I feel like it helps to improve my skill. My "Creating Drama" professor told me that we create [drama] for the sake of creation, not for ego-inflation. It was created because it need to be created, not because we wanted to be praised for how bright we are. If bạn find that someone says something to criticize your work and it hurts you, they probably have a point.
The same goes for content! Some content that bạn might think is awesome, someone else might see as average or, indeed, "garbage" even, and rate it accordingly. And that is perfectly fine! But I find that when I receive low ratings, I want to ask that person why, simply because I want to improve the content I submit.
For example, someone recently rated an image I đã đăng at the human rights spot as a one. I wasn't offended, simply curious. It wasn't a five ngôi sao image, in my opinion, but I thought it was maybe a three, and worth posting. But opinions are, of course, subjective. The point is, I want to hear what yours is especially if it's different from mine. I know that Temptasia basically đã đưa ý kiến it (very eloquently) in her article, but commenting, even and especially if bạn don't like the content is quintessential. Because you're helping to improve the kind of content on this site, and therefor being a good member of the fanpop community!
Now when I say constructive criticism, please take note of the word constructive. Nobody likes negativity, and we want to keep fanpop friendly, right? (Well, everywhere on fanpop except the thảo luận spot, that's just a free-for-all ;o) ). Seriously, though, there are three points that have been stressed in the past, but for clarity's sake, I'll put them in a nice list:
1) link
2) link
3) link
All of these three points have their own soapbox (evident bởi clicking on the link... ironically they're all Temptasia's... this was not intentional...). And thecon wrote that lovely, beautiful bài viết on explaining oneself. Well, I really, really want to know if and why bạn don't like the content I submit. It's fantastic if bạn tình yêu it, and express your tình yêu in a comment, that's excellent, but I would tình yêu it if people stopped rating-and-running and leaving me like a deer carcass on the side of the road (too graphic? I apologize).
So please, friends: Comment. Rate. Appreciate. (Who đã đưa ý kiến that???)
Don't rate-and-run!
