This is a simple guide on how to make a constructive criticism that is actually useful, and helps the creator.
[1] Don't make it opinion based.
-Some of you may already know this, but an opinion-based criticism really doesn't help the person making the suggestion. For example,
I comment on a suggestion for new layouts, but I say:
NO SUPPOHRT, LAEOWTS LOK UGERLY
That's my opinion, it really doesn't help anybody and should just be a side-statement.
[2] Give reasons.
-Telling somebody "no support" is just like a teacher saying "you did the test wrong". The teacher isn't helping the student, and in this case the non-supporter isn't helping the suggestor. You need details.
[3] Suggest improvements.
-Suggest ways to improve the suggestion. Like, if somebody suggests
"Users can create faces"
you could say
"And, there should be some ground rules", then list some ground rules.
Thank you for your time.
