It makes it difficult for anyone. This is precisely why I don't tend to post on
some of the more specialized forums. I'll be the first to admit that my
photography skills needs help, and that the lighting where I generally take
photos isn't the greatest. I don't post for photography tips though, I post for
building tips.
A quick rating or spotlighting is nice, but doesn't really give you an idea of
what people liked about a MOC. I had a MOC last week that was spotlighted and
showed up on the front page for days. There were no comments. I even saw it
posted on another site, again with no comments. So, my assumption is that
people liked it, but I had no idea what people liked about it.
Of course, I'm bad too. There have been some really great MOCs posted lately,
and I haven't made the time to sit down and say why I think they are really
great. Then again, I didn't have the time to spotlight them either.
I know for me, time is a huge factor. With all of the scattered forums for
various themes, I spend more time reading than posting. I used to be able to
sit down in the evening, read through LUGENT, and see lots of creations from
lots of different themes. To do that now, I need to sit down and visit four or
five or six different websites. It doesn't seem like it should take that much
more time, but for some reason it does.
I think I'll make a rule for myself to comment on at least one MOC a night.
