Comments/tags solicited vs unsolicited
Okay people.. help me understand - what's with the "comment tag me, I'll return the favor" Do we all do this? Comment on someone's images or leave a tag just because they leave one for us? or expect one when we leave one? Granted when someone comments/tags my daughter's portfolio I visit theirs and check it out - sometimes I see something I like and comment on it.. but sometimes I don't/won't. Not because none of their work is good.. but simply because nothing jumps out at me and warrants a comment. Does this somehow make me a hypocrite? Because I enjoy reading the comments someone leaves on her images, but don't reciprocate "just to keep the score even"? Anyone who has been victim to my critique knows I donât sugar coat a thing, if it jumps out me, I say so.. but if I see something you could change about an image to make it better, Iâll let you know. Quite honestly - I feel a comment that comes from the heart - ya know the kind when the words just flow when an image is viewed. Those.. are the best ;o) Of course, I realize this is one womanâs opinion and in this.. it is, what it is. Dec 06 06 08:31 am Link NO WE ALL DO NOT DO THIS. I have never asked for a tag or comment and I will not give a tag or comment if you have to ask for it. To me this is just meaningless if you have to beg for a comment. Others on this forum call them comment whores. I do have to agree with this title. I give a comment or tag because of the quality of the work. NOT BECAUSE you have to ask for it. bs Dec 06 06 08:37 am Link does this dress make me look fat.. Dec 06 06 09:15 am Link lotusphoto wrote: No...but it does make you look gay. Dec 06 06 09:21 am Link I comment people when they comment me only because I probably would have never seen their work had they not commented me. I check out their page, and if there is something I like, I comment. If not, I'll leave a tag thanking for the comment. -Monica Dec 06 06 09:22 am Link It's just wrong/sad to Beg for comments, Now all of you.... Go to my port and leave some comments, And only the nice ego boosting kind, none af that nasty constructive crap. But in truth, If one of your images really strikes me I'll comment, If not I just move along. Dec 06 06 09:23 am Link Bryanna Nicole wrote: Thank you for bringing this up.

Dec 07 06 07:13 pm Link I am a comment whore.....oh well...we are all whores when it comes to something in our lives.....I do not feel bad that mine is just for a comment. I am on here for two reasons....to meet new people......and to get feedback on my work. If I am a whore for asking what people think.....well....then I am a really big whore PS...and getting people into your portfolio by asking for comments or whatever is called marketing....something most business owners take part in  If nobody knows you are here....well...then why are you here? That's my 4 centsDec 07 06 08:25 pm Link i enjoy getting them and will check out the peoples ports who leave them but i am often just too lazy to think of something to say. i agree comments should be reserved for the images that stimulate something to say Dec 07 06 09:01 pm Link I will never request a comment or a tag. . . And I only comment or tag images/profiles that I come across that I like ( or dont like ) Dec 07 06 09:05 pm Link It's nice to look for the good in people and recognize it...

Just because you don't come right out and say it, doesn't mean you aren't asking people to look at your work. Enough with the thank you tags though. Those are ridiculous. Dec 08 06 09:56 am Link yep, if someone comments on a shot or tags me, I send a PM saying, "Thanks." But I don't tag or announce back Dec 08 06 12:01 pm Link Rick Edwards wrote: and that's the right way to do it. more should pay attention to what you said. Dec 08 06 12:38 pm Link |
