Normally I love getting comments, It's why I enter my photos at DPC. I have gotten many comments that help and that continue to help....But recently I have received a comment from a entry currently running from a ( Troll? )who has been a member since -DELETED- with the name of -DELETED-. The comment read "Get with the times"... Now I did get a bit of a chuckle out of the line, but try as I might, I can't seem to grasp how this critiques my photo. It seems to be more of an attempt at insulting me, but the line for personal insults is quite long, and over there a bit......So I wondered, Am I special or is this wise and learned scholar of flags helping everybody with such comments? Oh and by the way... My picture does indeed suck, I was expecting to get no more than a 2, but it may actually get into the 4's! lol. Thanks!

Yeah, I got one from the flag-meister as well. It simply said "Bad". I figured that was a reasonable critique of my image, though, so decided not to worry about it ;-)

ALL of those comments are on the current challenges, since none of them can be viewed yet.

In one of the scores threads he's being discussed as well, there are a LOT of these terse and vaguely insulting comments floating around apparently :-)

High average vote, though.

Dat's true...

May not seem high to him, though, he may not realize the 10-point scale is a myth and anything over 6 is a major triumph :-)

The person's profile also shows they have selected 16 favorites of which none show on his list so all must also be from current challenges.

Curses on someone possibly voicing their opinion, whether or not it's good! :-D

I got a comment from DELETED as well. One word: "ok" - I appreciate it. I would have been happier with "get with the times" though - that's always good advice. :)

same comment here lol, maybe his native language is not english or maybe his way of expression of words is limited :D...anyway considering his current camera, when he will start entering challenges, I'm not sure if he can make better photo than a (quote) "bad" photo

He probably thinks that he has to leave a comment to vote.

Threads like this and then we complain that we don't get comments.....

I wasn't complaining! Was rather pleased that he thought it ok also marked it helpful!
