Giid tip but yy ignore list must be up to capacity- if there is such a limit. The bad guys just keep coming. I give up! No use reporting them or arguing and adding fuel to the fire. I just make a note and ignore (block) them in manual mode with no automatic assistance or lists. 
Actually the “Ignore” feature doesn’t block much. If I remember correctly, people on your Ignore list cannot send you private messages. Anything they post in topics you are following is not blocked. Can someone please verify this?

I work a lot with saturation, setting my desired level of saturation for each individual color, then looking at the overall image and see if I need to further adjust. I know too much saturation can destroy detail, and I stop short of that. I sometimes get "too much saturation" comments, but I am very aware of how much saturation is right for me, so I ignore them. Some people can't seem to tolerate any more saturation than was already there.

Keep slugging. This is an OPEN forum, which makes anything posted here subject to praise, criticism, or to be absolutely ignored. And you are right about 80% or so of the postings (including my own); they are normally decent snapshots. But dig and ye shall find.

That completely ignores that this forum has different sections which have different levels of expectations of criticism. Sometimes people just want to share photos with no criticism, and that's what the Photo Gallery was designed for, unless people ask for comments. Also, if I see a photo in the Gallery which the OP is obviously really proud of, and I think it is horrible, then we are probably too far off the same page for me to give constructive criticism, so I'll pass it by.

If I have something negative to say, I send the person a private msg. We are World Wide and it's difficult to have your tone reflected in a post. Especially with diffrent nationalities involved.

Photo Gallery is supposed to be a non judgmental place where anyone can post their work.
Comment on what you like ignore what you don't like

Exactly! That is why I just ignore the nonsense and folks who write nonsense. There is no actual black except for private messages.

When I first joined here, I posted a photo to demonstrate something, and people were determined to critique all kinds of other things. I ‘ve been ‘shy’ about posting photos here ever since.

When I first joined here, I posted a LOT of flower pictures. Someone told me I liked flowers far too much. My pictures were very poor...still are. I still get by with posting here. I think of this as being a place for beginners, super pros and everyone in between. If I can....anyone can. Here's something to think about: If you live to be 200, there will always be some photographers better than you are, BUT there will also always be some worse than you are, soooo don't hold back, bring it on!!! I recently had to have a pep talk AGAIN too. These people are good at pep talks!!!

IMHO anyone who post a picture to a public forum/FaceBook is a target for a critique: good, bad, and/or ugly. Period!

Why would you want to critique someone's work who doesn't want a critique? Just to demonstrate your superiority?
