You guys. Tidoco is a talented painter with a high scoring gallery, have a look. One post of an ugly model, well painted but with flaws, and the score reflects that.
To pull the fig, whine about not scoring high enough and declare the posting to be over is childish.
Reverend says this is a decent dude who must have been having a bad day.
I don\'t know why we\'re trying to pat him on the back and console him after he\'s thrown a fit.
Posts like this really piss me off the use of emotive and reactionary language gets up my nose... if Tim doesn\'t want to post pics here any more, then that\'s his choice.... he\'s probably pissed off with having previous stuff sniped as well rather than just this.
I stopped posting stuff here too ages ago for similar reasons... I think you\'ll find a LOT of people are nowhere near as frequent at submitting stuff or simply don\'t bother any more.... having said that, you\'ve only been here for 5 minutes so you probably wouldn\'t realise.
Looked at your gallery. Awesome stuff by the way....
Look, all I\'m saying is that tidoco posted a model in the discuss submissions section of a forum that\'s wrapped around an entire site that marks figs on a scale of 1 to 10. His mini was discussed, I was even quite complimentary of his metalics -which I think are great- then his response is to compose a post stating he will never post again because the score was a 6.0
Were you offended by the emotive and reactionary language of his post, or just mine?
It\'s nonsense, and yes childish, to get wrapped up in the score of a single model when his gallery is full of well painted and high scoring models. It\'s an ugly model by my scoring, but I STILL gave it an eight meaning some people likely only gave it a 6. Why is that so awful? Is it impossible for Tidoco to imagine that he may have put his heart and soul into a mini and din\'t get an 8? I don\'t get it. I don\'t understand his response, and more puzzling are all the \"There there, please come back\" posts afterwards.
Tidoco is a GOOD painter. I would hope he calms himself and posts stuff so i can learn and admire it but as you say it\'s his choice. His got skill and his previous scores have reflected that. If we\'re going to take \"snipers\" into account maybe we should take into account some people voting minis up, because they like the dude?
As for people not submitting stuff, that\'s their call. I would hope anyone who\'s been here for more than 5 minutes would not worry so much about the score and focus more on the comments and crits from a given mini.
I find the scoring prcoess to be pretty fair, often harsh, but rarely inaccurate. after 60-80 votes how many snipers would it take to keep a model down at 6.0 instead of 8.0-9.0?
as for only being here 5 minutes myself, I might be a newcomer but in that time I\'ve made friends, a few non friends, and learned a TON. Mostly through the scoring system and this section of the forums. I take it personal (Perhaps illogically) when someone declares the process of this site as unfair, or even innacurate.
I hope you will take my viewpoint into account and see if this will make it possible for myself to continue to discuss figs and other stuff with yourself.
