Guys this has persuaded me NEVER to do abstract again.


Are you convinced that you're beyond doing tutorials?

I'm assuming he doesn't really know what he's talking about, and doesn't do photoshop himself.
He said basically the same to me, lol.

No, ofc I'm not!! But it hurts to have a rando tell me I need work more with tuts and that its not bad for a beginner.

This is exactly what I hate about internet forums.

According to everyone, randoms have no credibility at all. That's not even close to be true. I've been a random, you've been a random, souforte's been a random, Heretic's been a random etc.. We've all gone through it. Does that mean we can't be taken seriously ? The best example would be Khrushchev, I remember when he first started posting in the gfx section, most flamed him because he was ''a random'', even if his comments made more sense than anyone else in the thread.

But thats what happens. If we let a rando not be a rando then its breaking the process. You get a voice by comming up from being a rando.

Think about it, the more your here the better. But its not like its by post count, ex: eng...quick. only 400 post but hes no rando because he knows what hes talking about. But when people dont know what they are saying, they are considered randos.

this was an analogy that should have explained the situation

but maybe you didn't get it

you see, this other person - he may be no good at photoshop, but he can still tell when something looks bad

much like i can tell if a website is below par even if I can't code a good looking one

this example is a poor one - quick and colab aren't randos because everyone knows their older accounts with far more time and posts invested into this board
