Pages visited on discussion boards

When I visit any discussion board, I always click on the like button of that work when I make a comment and if it's really exceptional and I want to look it up again I click the favour button, I don't put L V or F because I don't like that put on my pages so I don't put those indications on anyone else's pages, really the reason is if you comment that should be in your mind an automatic click on the like button, you might as well not comment if you do not click the like button, if you are commenting and are doing it because you feel you have to but don't really like the work, please don't comment what's the point, I don't really like the falseness of a lack of genuine feeling in comments on my work. I never comment on work I don't really like or they haven't bothered to straighten their picture or crop it properly or the HDR effects have blinded the picture of natural tones and shadows HDR works on some pictures that's ok but sometimes it ruins a picture an artist should see when that happens and have a rethink about the picture, it may need only slight shadow and light with colour adjustments, I don't like and comment on pictures that have no colour adjustments when they obviously need it as this is a buyers market and the buyer will see the lack of professionalism in a work. I never comment ever or are inclined to be pressurised to comment on someones work. When Someone favour's a picture of my work it automatically comes in my picture activity list so really you don't need to put a F in comments, when you pin it or Facebook twitter g+ yes indicate that. I'd rather you didn't put my work on there unless its already been put on those sites by me and youve seen it there, as I don't do this that's why you don't see the symbol of those SM sites in my comments, it takes too much time and causes crashes on my device when I try to do this. If I want my work on social media I like to chose what goes on there, because of this I respect other people's work and don't fling it around the Internet it may come back on me through spam reports and copying which has happened so I don't want to take that chance again, in all due respects I have good reasons not to use them in this way, so I just make genuine comments with no pressure clicking the like every time even clicking the like if I have no comment I really want to make on a work that I like, some I favour if they are exceptional and sometimes without comment when I have no time to comment, you will know I've done that in your activity listings, they really need to have who has clicked on likes in that but your liking remains private maybe that's a good thing. I don't or remove myself from discussion boards that pressurise me to make a comment or click like on all the work there, being pressurised into making false comments on work you don't really like is really a breech of ones freedom of choice and not very good for the buyers to see praise for obvious badly done work. Sometimes I don't comment on a subject that I don't like even if the work is good, that too should be your choice and not to be made to like a subject you don't like or even hate. I was on a board before FAA had new rules on these discussion boards that told me off for missing someone out and that they would remove me if I didn't comment on that work, they didn't have to remove me I immediately removed myself, I was disgusted by that it was like being told off at school and to be made to like something that made me cringe no way was I going to do that...I just hope FAA are not creeping back to those low standards I have seen someone say on some boards to click like on all the works, I think those boards should rephrase that to click on like on all the works that you like :) The Autumn picture of the Lakes above is on some discussion boards and I thank you for all the genuine comments made
