Pulled out to a separate thread for those who want to discuss it.

My 2 bits - demonstrating tact when constructively criticizing someone's design is a lost art on the Internet sometimes, sadly. Stifling constructive criticism due to fear of offending isn't helpful either though. There's a balance there somewhere. I'd sure like it back.

Says we need to have a thicker skin and move on if something offends us... and spends a page ranting about being offended.

Good talk, bro.

BYOAC is the best place online to get advice and tips on this hobby. The vast majority of the members here are helpful to newbies and veterans alike. Here is a thread from today where the newbie gets some good snark-free help. When BYOAC works, it works great!

But BYOAC can also be very unfriendly to newbies. I think some of you view constructive feedback as cracking jokes about others' projects and calling their control panels ---smurfy---. This benefits no-one.

Does everyone love the Space Paranoids control panel? Are eight buttons per player appropriate for an arcade cabinet? Do we need to rehash this in every new build thread?

And before I get accused of stifling constructive feedback-- I come here because I want to avoid mistakes and learn from the veterans. I'm not asking you to stop pointing out potential problems in other people's work.  I'm asking you to do it with some tact.

In saint's own words, "File this under the 'if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all' category."
