I honestly want to know the ratio of genuine newbies who leave the forum because of criticism to the ones that stay, grow thick skin and eventually get established.
I do not think that random people will just abandon the forum because someone they don't know said that they are moda-fucka and an idiot. Unless they are unjustly tagged. Criticism isn't a big deal these days.
Even though they are unjustly tagged I think there are ways to get justice and at the end get untagged, to me, I think some persons take Everything very serious here, as far as this forum is concerned, i don't think there's anyone of us that has not been criticized in one way or the other, some persons may not know how to put out their criticism, it might come as a correction but in harsh manner but that doesn't mean the message has not been sent to the person that's been criticized, it is now left for the newbie or whomever to take corrections and move on, no hard feelings, i don't think criticism is the problem here, sometimes it is just about misunderstanding from the person that criticism is directed to, growth and attaining success in this forum has to go along with tolerance, the earlier most persons get to know about this, the better for them.
