No because people like you go around bashing everyone.

In some ways I find gallery comments pointless...and in other ways useful...

I think its pointless if all everybody is says is...oooo cool pic
or nice....or sick burnout...whatever

could be useful in terms of constructive critism...even on photography...you should try takikng it at this angle...or...that would look nice with a different background...you know

also useful for asking questions about the car ie, what kind of rims, what size tires, which exhaust, etc, etc

if people had to bash...then is there a way to restrict them from posting in that section, and only let them post there again after say 3 months if they improve the way they act on the board (they would have to be reviewed by a mod and then the mod would decide whether or not to let them back in) If they bash again...then just ban them again but this time for longer or forever...

if it is unrealized bashing the we could give them a break...something like

I think your windows are too dark...

that IMO is bashing, but it is very subtle and probably not intended to hurt somebody...

This is the issue - some of the people who would restrict their posting access may never see the bashing since there are/will be so many pages to look at. Trust me, bashing always becomes widespread and very difficult to keep under control in the gallery. Until we are able to make some changes in the code which would allow the photo owners to moderate their own galleries, or allow them to choose not to have comments posted on their photos in the first place, we'll leave comments turned off for now.

sounds good, and about people moderating their own gallery...that sounds like a good idea...I didn't think of that...If they want to block a member from posting in it, they can...if they want to delete a comment, they can...good idea
