    Everyone has their own style and preferences.  Criticism should only be constructive and only come when solicited.

      Realise some of us have a different sense of humour. If you're German: realise some of us have a sense of humour.

      People who can't take any form of criticism should be shot (by ze Germans).

      Ve vill also not quote a member's post when it has pictures in it. VERBOTEN. Delete the picture's code in the quotation.

          Nope - you're posting on the Internetz… By doing so you're allowing everyone to comment on whatever you post... It's really that simple... Of course, the mods will delete rude comments (on here), but otherwise you're entitled to jack shit...

            I would add that I have never felt any unpleasant "criticism" from any members here. Perhaps some rigorous honesty or difference of opinion, but its always framed as such. I love that pretty much everyone I have encountered here can agree to disagree, when needed, and then move on.

            I would another tip for new members is to put yourself out there and post as much as you can (or feel comfortable with). I know that the more I have posted, the more I have been able to interact with other members, which has led me to feel more comfortable posting and then interacting with other members.

            I guess fake it till you make it - act like you are a contributing member and you will be.

            You won’t be satisfied until you wear Iron Heart.

                I'm with Seul on the quoted pictures: It's pretty annoying when someone quotes three or four pictures just to say ''Great!'' - scrolling several times for this is a pita (pain in the arse). Everyone knows what someone is referring to and if not they're smart enough to look back at previous posts.

                  My post was more specific to the style side of things not the 'Unpopular Opinions' and the like threads.  Posting in the WAYWT thread and having someone tell you you're fit is wrong creates a pretty toxic environment in my opinion.

                      I completely support that. Well said.

                        I've never seen that happening on the IH forum, though.

                          I agree with @Dion I have only gotten loads of positivity from that thread…I appreciate even more that when asking other members if a fit works, if the fit is off, members are more than respectful in conveying that sentiment.

                            I've only seen it happen a few times and each time one member or another was pretty quick to put the poster in their place.  99% of users are definitely respectful.  The key is making sure the bad apples are dealt with quickly to avoid spoiling the bunch.

                              · Be polite, be honest

                              · Buy into the humour of the forum but build a relationship with posters before busting their balls too hard.

                              · Post often but read more, and just dive into the history of the place…..there’s some really funny stuff in there if you’re prepared to dig.

                              · This place is about as friendly as forums get on the interwebz, if you don’t find that to be the case then there is a good chance that the problem is you.

                              . Remember that this forum is an extension of the Iron Heart brand, a place created by the people who work very hard to make Iron Heart what it is today. Be respectful of that and don't say anything you wouldn't be 100% confident of saying face to face.
