Of course this is ripped right from YNA. They had a comment rating system that I loved.
So this is a suggestion. if you folks already have this on the list of things to-do then never me mind. ;)
One idea would be to allow the artist to rate comments on their pieces (if it were helpful, derogatory, flame-baiting, Useful, etc. ). The other is to offer the registered artists (those who have Galleries) to offer crits on the actual crit comments. :) Or to rate randomly selected comments for usefulness. :)
I mean it is nice to get "OMG that is so cool" in one's Gallery, but questions about materials, use, style, how-to queries, and comments and crits on what is drawn should be rewarded in some way. IMO.
