<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 3309666, member: 19165&quot;]There is a difference between being &quot;grumpy&quot; and being realistic. When people post awful photos and ask for grades, and we tell them that their photos are unsatisfactory, that&#039;s not being grumpy. That&#039;s telling them truth. Some people might have a hard time with this - adults should understand that not every click of their camera-phone is going to produce a Da Vinci. They have to exert some effort to make pictures that are useful - if they post pictures that are useless, then why even bother posting? Being &quot;nice&quot; to people isn&#039;t going to help them grade their coin, and it isn&#039;t going to help them improve their pictures. They have to understand reality. </p><p><br /></p><p>If I ask them to try again with their pictures, I&#039;m really trying to help them. They asked for our opinion, they provided bad pictures. I want to help them, but to do that, I need better pictures. Anyone who posts here more than once should know that, and the OP has been posting here long enough to know two things. First, I&#039;m a bit of a &quot;donkey&quot;. Sorry, I&#039;m blunt. It happens. Second, if you want good grade guesses, you need good pictures. </p><p><br /></p><p>If this were a first time poster, I probably would have phrased things differently. This poster has been here long enough to know that those blurry things were totally useless for grading, and should have tried harder. He&#039;s been here for 3.5 years and has 9k+ posts. </p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=74863]@Collecting Nut[/USER] , can you honestly tell us that you think these pictures were good enough to grade from? </p><p><br /></p><p>In summary [USER=22377]@ddddd[/USER] ,&nbsp; if you post a worthless picture and ask for grades, you are going to get worthless grade guesses. And I&#039;m going to tell you honestly what I think.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
