Wholly C&C Batman!

[MWC2]

Let's just say I'm already getting PMs from people who say they won't be asking for CC anymore due to this post. People who really are trying sooooooo.... yeh......

That is sad, I've learned a lot since joining and posting for C&C, even thou I don't post often, I read and learn a ton. You should see some of the first images I posted for C&C, I'm embarrassed to call them mine (and I know I still have a long way to go).

I think we need a 1000 post club or something... These conversations probably shouldn't be public in the forum.

YAY, I qualify!

(I have always wanted to say that)

This is just an uninstigated attack. It's no more then the big kids bullying the little kids yelling "nope nope this is MY jungle gym" when in fact the jungle gym belongs to everyone.

To tell you the truth, I have no idea what this thread is even about ... Like seriously.

I have to agree with those who say it is an open forum and all are entitled to post ( within forum rules and guidelines) what they wish and ask questions as they wish. If for any reason any of you are too busy, too tired,too proud or just don't care enough to comment, don't!

Let's just say I'm already getting PMs from people who say they won't be asking for CC anymore due to this post. People who really are trying sooooooo.... yeh......

Now that's just insanity. if people are letting some anonymous person on the internet intimidate them in a post that has nothing to do with them in any personal way then there is a problem to begin with. You've been here long enough to know that and I am pretty sure you've even said it at one time or another. It's the internet. Ignore the azzholes and look for the good.
If you look for those you can learn from and take their advice and ignore the garbage? You'll do great. If you can't do that you probably shouldn't be learning and posting your work on the internet anyway because there will ALWAYS be a troll to tell them they suck-literally-for no reason other than that they can type. If your skin is that thin then this is NOT the place for you to learn and you probably would do better in a classroom where a "well respected teacher" can tell you that you suck and be straight up sh!tty about it if they want to.

Okay... but didn't you say:

Like it or not, as I said before, this is an open forum. You guys are not the moderators. I don't get where people come off saying what is an acceptable post here.

So why isn't Keith entitled to speak his mind?

I've never said he couldn't speak his mind. I just said that people don't have to follow your advice. I didn't say he couldnt speak his mind, I just gave my opinion on his thoughts.

I don't think most people have a problem with people pointing out problems with their photo's but like I said in my other post....This thread makes ME....as someone NEW here and someone who HAS asked for advice & suggestions timid to ask for advice in the future....It personally makes me wonder if maybe I am being a pest by asking for advice and I'm only being honest, it can and will make people who are truly only trying to better themselves feel uncomfortable asking for advice here. That is just MY opinion and only speak for myself....

The point of the post:
If you aren't getting CC or CC of any value this is why... There are 73 images for us to cc on here at this point. FULL CC on 73 images is at the very least an hour and a half of time to invest. We are looking for that person we can actually help and also looking for the ones who we need to avoid for whatever reason. Sometimes it is just a personality conflict, sometimes it's lack of effort.. WHATEVER the reason is, it doesn't help someone for me to give them CC if we can't work together.

Yes, we expect you to put something into this if we are going to sit down and donate an hour and a half to helping you grow as a photographer without making you do the research, read the books and take the class. If that is too much to expect? OH WELL.

We'll get to know the ones who want cc and they'll get what they want. Be patient as a new photographer here. We've all been burned by a newbie on a high horse who wasted our time at one time or another. Sorry, we are a bit cautious as to who we give that time to now. We only have so much time to give and wasting it on someone who doesn't want it is just stupid. We are truly LOOKING for the ones who want it and that we can help, but we can't find that out if you post a couple of posts and give up. That just makes you the same as all of the others who came and left 15 minutes later for whatever reason.

WE HAVE TO GET TO KNOW YOU FIRST AND KNOW WHAT YOU NEED, WHAT WILL HELP YOU AND HOW YOUR GOING TO LEARN FROM US. We don't know you from Adam and we NEED to in order to help you. If that's too much? I am... wait.. I am not sorry. It's just the way it is.

I'm sorry but this is different then having thick skin after being given ****ty, mean spirited CC. This is an uninstigated attack dedicated To telling the newcomers that they're idiots and a waste of your valuable time. Why would someone post after that?
