1. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

2. I think being told that your story -- via talk page -- is a Quality Standard's nightmare/is too Vague/has not story or content/etc. is enough of a lesson to learn from. Holy shit, how fucking awful is having a place were your be stories can get critique, right? I mean, it's not like critique helps new authours learn, right? I mean, what the fuck was Graydon thinking? That he would try something that would only help the community? Fuck that noise, amiright? Try reading the majority of the comments on this wiki. They certainly do not help people improve. The majority of comments I see are critique, friendly or not. If they say "This was awful" then the author knows not to do something similar. And I know for a fact I leave constructive critisim every time I comment. Also, on a site devoted to "bad" stories, people are less likely to say that it is just bad, that is a given. Instead, they will be more likely to leave constuctive critisim, also, constructivity will be encourged. 'Kay. No. I -- in recent memory -- honestly can say I don't remember seeing constructive criticism in the comments. "This was awful" is in no way constcutive. What about the story is awful? Was it the formatting? Was it the dialogue or characters/character development? Quoth Frank Leslie, "The world may never know". I never said it was constructive, I just said it was critisim. Also, constructivity will be incentivised and encourged. How do you expect to achieve that? Don't know yet, maybe in the form of badges or something similar.
