User blog:Celestialfyre/Bashing and Constructive Crit.

Yeah okay so:

What's with bashing and being rude everytime the UCP comes up? Whatever happened to constructive critique? We need more than "blah blah Fandom dying we deserve better rude comment blah". Honestly, the biggest reason that the changes (that some have valid reasons to disagree with) are under fire is becuase people seriously like voicing their opinions. Loudly. And if the rest of us want to give constructive critique and ways to improve- drowned out in the sea of  negative noise. This has happened on FR and several other sites that occasionally roll out "unpopular" updates. Noise.

The soloution is not to shout louder. If you want Fandom to "get better" be polite, read the ENTIRE post before commenting, and think about your words. Try to ask meaningful questions. Just THINK. Please. Fandom is a little unsettling becuase of all the UCP nonsense about now.

As for constructiveness itself, judge your opinions based on whether or not they could help somebody understand the changes, help yourself understand the changes, or give feedback that is feasible (or at least potentially), literate (elaborate on ideas) , and could lead to what you want.

And as for the UCP: it has problems. It's also brand-flipping-new. Yes, Fandom could be better. Yes, it could also be far worse.

Next time you post, just PLEASE try not to bash without reason. Please don't be rude. Fandom is about community. We can't have a productive community without constructive change and exchange of interesting ideas, can we?

Thank you.
