    Hey Guys,
    Tuggers03 Here,

    Today I am taking a look at Constructive Criticism.


    What is Constructive Criticism?
    Constructive Criticism is where a person has a negative look on something, but gives the author ideas on how to improve.
    For example:
    Hmm. I don't really like this gun idea. I think it would be better if you upped the damage and lowered the clip size.
    Or:
    I do not agree with this. I suggest you lower the cost and take away the double damage perk. Double damage makes it a bit Over Powered.


    Remember, the criticism is meant to be constructive, not like, "OMG dis idea suks."


    How to give Constructive Criticism:
    The main thing to remember when giving constructive criticism is that it is constructive. Make sure the author can understand what you think would be an improvement.
    1. Read the whole thread. The author may have what you are going to suggest near the bottom of the thread.
    2. Analyse the idea. Give it some thought before you post.
    3. Be nice. Don't be horrible about it.

    How to take Constructive Criticism:
    The sad thing is, not all people take kindly to Constructive Criticism. Some people may take it offensively. Here are some tips on how to take/understand Constructive Criticism.
    1. Read the posters idea. You may agree with it and really want to add it to your idea.
    2. Don't get annoyed if people don't like it. They have given ideas on how to make it better. Try to use these ideas and they might agree with it.
    3. Remember, we are all human. No-one can come up with an idea everyone will agree with.

    Examples:

    Constructive Criticism:

    "I don't like this gun idea. Maybe if you add more bullets and increase the damage it would be a bit better."

    "This seems a bit overpowered. I suggest lowering the Fire Rate as it is too much like the minigun."

    "I do not agree with this. I think there are enough grenade types now. Some perk ideas are what I would like to see."

    These are good because they give the author ways to improve.

    Not Constructive Criticism.


    "This idea sucks. It's is terrible"

    "I have never seen a worst idea"

    "Rubbish. Absolute trash"

    These are bad because they give the author absolutely no clue as to how he/she can improve.

    Tips:

    • Remember, when giving Constructive Criticism, be polite. Try not to insult the author.
    • Remember to read the entire thread before posting your opinion.
    • Don't feel hurt if people don't like your idea. No-one is perfect.
    • Don't give up on your idea. Remember, the people who gave the Constructive Criticism have given you ways to improve.
    • Don't take it all too seriously. At the end of the day, it is only a game.
    So, that is it! I hope you enjoyed reading. Remember to leave some feedback on what you thought of this, down below. Constructive Criticism welcome!

    Thanks for reading and have a great day!

    Ok it would be much easier if people just searched the definition of constructive criticism instead of writing a whole guide on it. But ok, good guide.

    I understand what you mean. However, I have searched Constructive Criticism on google and I did not find one which gave you a guide on how to take/give CC.
