Criticism

Criticism is a virtually unavoidable aspect of having a showcase. There are two kinds of criticism: positive and negative.

Positive criticism aims to help the recipient become a better bot builder. Examples of positive criticism include comments like, "Your bot would be better if it had Maces in place of the Sledgehammers." This form of criticism usually comes from more experienced forum members.

Negative criticism aims to merely provoke the recipient. Examples of negative criticism include comments like, "Your bot stinks!1!," or, "You fail!" This form of criticism somewhat resembles fail n00b whacking. Negative criticism mostly comes from n00bs and is often not appreciated by other members.
