Post #1
They are fucking ridiculous.
First has to be band-wagon responses, which are basically...
If your picture is Brown then some moron will just go 'well hurr de dur thats brown', It does not make the picture bad if it is brown, it doesn't make it better either. It's just brown. Stop mentioning it as though it affects the overall quality of the picture. It's personal preference and has nothing to do with constructive criticism.
Generic. Basically, anyone that thinks something is generic, or likes to pick on people because of it, Fuck off. People come here to make pictures however they like, they shouldn't feel restricted or pressured to do it to what you want. If they want a css model shooting a terrorist then that is absolutely fine and they shouldn't feel discouraged. Being generic isn't bad, you shouldn't be trying to pressure everyone to make 'super awesome' stuff with every post. It's fun, not work.
Asshole'ness If your just going to reply with 'dis is bad fix it' then you can shut the hell up. Yeah i'm talkin' to you. Saying what is wrong is fine, you don't need to be an astro physicist to know when something doesn't look very good, but if you do know how to fix it then please elaborate, this is meant to be a community in which we grow together instead of leaving people behind. Here I must do an honorable mention of Vman with his editing video(s), he is helping people selflessly to his level.
^ This has been a problem for a while now if you ask me. People have seen some rudeness and 'elitism' whatever you want to call it, and just assume that is how they should act here. You don't need to call people out on everything and be an absolute douche. If theres someone new trying stuff out don't insult them, if they are enthusiastic, help them. If it's a regular, just help him out too.
Re-post of my constructive replies comic;
Click the boxies!
Another little thing i just want to mention which is a little gripe of my own, nothing to do with anything, but that little 'off-screen' shit that i hope to god has passed was so fucking dumb. That is all.
I hope you don't mind, but I feel as though this is necessary as the majority of the moderators have abandoned us.

Sad a tutorial needs to be done about this. But kuddos on that, it's well made and written.
-
It's by all means a great friendly community, but people just fall into bad habits and conditioned thinking. It really is a shame mate.
-
Yeah, I had some of that 'genericness' in my last thread. Kinda ticked me off a bit.
.....I guess it was kinda generic though, heh.
-
I'm glad somebody has finally done this.
I agree with the part connecting to the muzzleflash.
If someone has taken the time and effort to try and make a muzzleflash or any effect really, you shouldn't be a cunt about it.
-
and then let this thread be casted into the darkness not changing a god damned thing.
:10bux: says that's exactly what happens.
Also I hate Ellis.
-
Just pm'd hezzy/gestapo about possibly stickying it, if anyone has a problem with that then please say so :)
-
You don't really have to be nice. If people can't take criticism, it's their problem. Be constructive, but don't be a total cunt.
-
hey u prikfac i hav problem
all fp pics r bown and genrrik
I NOT A HAPY CAPPIE.
-
I'm too manly for this thread.
-
Would be better that someone actually create a thread about having a new moderation team around, I'm kind of tired to be the only one getting banned because I'm always the one moving my ass about this.
-
Unrealistic hopes means you get nothing, there will probably never be moderation round here they don't give a shit they have made it clear. At lease grea$e monkey is looking in every now and then.
-
We tried to get Vman a moderation post a few months ago but it came to nothing.
-
Doesn't he not want to be a moderator.
-
You are wrong, you need to be nice and constructive. Oh wait...
-
Reply's such as "Generic" are a big problem as well.
:/
this should be stickied!
-
except moderators don't give a damn
-
I'm not going to lie, though I agreed with Mr. Ellis, a felt somewhat disturbed reading that comic.
-
Nice idea for a thread.
-
Man, I will say if it's generic when I want to. Why? because it's shit we have seen already. Most of those poses are the same except with different models. Soldiers with guns is seriously unoriginal now.
Edited:
I respect how you say 'everyone shouldn't feel pressured from making what they want' but it doesn't save them from being unoriginal.
-
Who wants to be part of a community in which you are restricted? I mean, you load up Garry's mod and think 'fuck, I can't do that people will complain about it'.
Stop trying to fucking dictate what other people can do, who gives a flying shit if it has been done before you shouldn't even try and stop them. If they want to do a dude being shot, let them do it, it doesn't harm you in any way. Your just being a douche if you just say 'generic it's shit'.
-
That's the problem, generic IS shit.
-
There's this thing called "ORIGINALITY". And some actually like it over seeing the same things over and over and over and over again.
-
Oh by the way, before you say that 'im just riding on the bandwagon', i'm not, i'm just telling it like it is.
-
Well guys, don't take this as a "You Have to Make Generic Poses and Like It" thread. The point is to not focus on that little fact and just rate the picture as is. I assure you people will tire themselves out on firefights and then try something else on their own terms. We don't need people ordering them to "be original", it'll eventually happen on its own. Besides, when you have people trying too hard to be "original" you end up with stupid shit like blank canvases hanging in museums (I've seen this with my own eyes) or Lady Gaga.
-
Hey, hey guys. Hey, hey guys!
WHAT IF we made
Brace yourselves, this is gonna be good.
WHAT IF we made
ME a moderator!
That would be good.
Right? Like, people wouldn't get banned anymore and there would be peace?
Right?
Right guys?
Edit:
Lol @ disagrees, obviously it was a joke :3
-
You got my vote.
-
Actually you'd be a decent moderator.
-
Im sorry to say this but, that's what generic has turned into, stuff that's just 'there'.
-
That doesn't make sense, but I think I know what you meant.
-
Nicely put GB. Unfortunately this thread will be lost on some people *sigh*.
-
This thread is brown, generic, and its bad
fix it
J/k I love you GoldenBullet, this thread is awesome and hopefully wont get lost among bullshit, It really needs to be put in the sticky thing.
-
One ban later for spoiler abuse.
Really though, I'm glad you did this Golden Bullet.
-
The thing is, while it may be fun for you to go and make the same picture over and over, it can be even MORE fun to go and try something you haven't done before. I particularly enjoy going and trying something new, going and challenging myself. I like to test my abilities, and see what kind of crazy new things I can create.
Sure if you have fun posing CSS guys shooting at each other, that's fine. But when people encourage you to try something different, it's because it will not only be more enjoyable for them to look at, but more enjoyable for you to make.
-
I like to criticize on things I see, then give a good comment if possible.
-
Making something original is very good, and so is encouraging people to do so, it's the way you should do it though;
It's not very encouraging to just say 'herdi derp it's generic'.
-
Pretty fitting.
-
Yes it is, it will encourage the person to make something actually original next time.
-
obligatory response from the "THIS IS BROWN, GENERIC, AND ALSO IT LOOKS WORSE THAN THAT MASSIVE TURD I JUST LAID, UNFUCK YOURSELF" crew (representin)
criticism doesn't have to be nice, it just has to be reasonable. sugar coating helps nobody. going out of your way to insult someone may not help either (although sometimes it does, and is exactly what's needed). crit that is to the point is what is needed, embellishments are not.
also the whole originality thing isn't really a matter of opinion (brown/generic) - it's a growing trend which is right up there with teal and orange colour grading in movies. it's overused and for no sensible reason, it doesn't make things look better or realistic. by all means make brown or generic pictures, but don't be surprised when you get called out on it.
i'd really like to see you people try something more interesting and less overused like, oh i dunno, realistic colouring. sadly, this is a dying art in basically everything. games are brown, movies are blue or brown, and now so are poses. be creative, little snowflakes.
-
I'll back this motion and while I'm here
I could not give a flying fuck if its yet another gun pose, Whoop de fucking do so what. I actually prefer seeing them over the stupid retarded shit that some of you have now decided should be the norm around here.
