I'm an ausfag and a member of the Australian photography forum. Photos and advice there are generally good, although not as win as /p/.

They have monthly contests and March/April is self portraits. The majority really suck, yet a lot of people are posting replies like "lol great shot lol." Serious replies too, not the /p/ sarcasm.

Does anyone else use other forums and if so how do you give constructive criticism?

pic related. Poster's comment: "My first self portrait ever, haha. Could of used my tripod, but this looks arty haha. Enjoy!"

tl;dr; How do you tell people on other forums their photos are shit?

it sucks as much as the others but at least people are assholes instead of couching stuff in meaningless niceties
