<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 2790038, member: 84179&quot;]I think you’re missing the point.&nbsp; Nobody is criticizing your photography skills, nor your specific advice in helping others improve their photographs.&nbsp; Personally, I stink at taking pics.&nbsp;&nbsp; The problem is telling people in what could be considered a condescending manner.&nbsp; Your first post to the OP was:</p><p><br /></p><p><b><span style="color: #b30059">Simple problem, simple solution, post better and more useful pictures.</span></b></p><p><b><span style="color: #b30059">For all anyone knows, the blobs of whatever are far from permanent and it&#039;s nicer than your poor pictures show.</span></b></p><p><b><span style="color: #b30059">Consider you know the pictures are poor yet you still want some kind of meaningful grade??? I don&#039;t understand that.</span></b></p><p>(now I just some emojis to be like Insider<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />)</p><p><br /></p><p>This was after he started receiving answers about his coin even with the mediocre pictures.&nbsp; Would it be much simpler to say something to the effect; “it’s difficult to see the details in your picture, here are some tips to improve your pictures which should help members provide the information you need”.&nbsp; One CT poster, whom most of you will know, frequently directs newbies to links offering information on error coins, even when the questions are pretty ridiculous.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I’m a new collector, looking for info and read your post, I wouldn’t come back.&nbsp; Shouldn’t we be trying to help new collectors rather than turning them off .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
