This is a question. I noticed today that a critique on one of my photographs had disappeared. (It was a positive one or I would not have mentioned it!) I have checked the FAQ sections and not really been enlightened. I think it waould be unlikely that the critic himself deleted it unless he was unduly influenced by the terrible critiques that were also present. Can anyone offer a theory or explanation? Eain

From wdeon/Wayne (8,931) on September 27, 2007 5:15:41 AM CDT If it was a recent critique then the person who wrote it may have deleted it. The reasons could have to do with anything from getting unhelpfuls, to second thoughts, to you not clicking helpful to .... the list goes on. Reply

From john2/John (6,345) on September 27, 2007 5:25:35 AM CDT Could be a number of things. If the person who wrote it was unhappy about anything they may have deleted it. If the critique included politically charged comments or broke the TOS in any other way an administrator may have deleted it. Reply

From sheenawilkie/Administrator (0) on September 27, 2007 11:48:10 AM CDT Some critiques are removed by administrators. In this case the critique included padding text that did not address the photo to ensure the critique conformed. The other critiques you received were not terrible at all. Reply

From photocrit/Eain (3,247) on September 27, 2007 1:56:41 PM CDT Thanks for clearing that up. I can see that it was indeed not a real critique and would not conform. I guess it just irked to see these points disappear. As far as the other crits are concerned I did not mean they were terrible in the sense that they were unfair or lacking in insight but just that were negative. I did not realise you checked crits so thoroughly Eain Reply
