No. People have no tolerance for rants and destructive criticism. There's quite a difference between:
"Man, your robot sucks! Dude, who did the wiring - it looks like spaghetti in there! Haha, we're so going to OWN you because we used zipties to tie our wires together!"
And
"I noticed your wiring is a little messy. If you use zipties to tie some of the wires together, and route them around the speed controllers - rather than on top of them - everything will look neater and you'll be able to see your controls better!! That's what my team did, and we won the Quality Award at the Midland Regional because our wiring looked so tidy!"
Or
...
"What a stupid call! I can't believe the refs decided the blue alliance won that match! No way should red have gotten that penalty - how stupid! This sucks - I want BETTER refs for next year!"
And
"I realize that it was a judgement call on the refs part - and what's done is done - but personally, I don't think the red alliance should have been penalized for suchandsuch because rule xxx does not really apply in this situation. If rule xxx should apply in this case, maybe it should be reworded to say ...."
Or even
...
"Man did you hear about [important world event]?? How could [important politician] say that!! I hate him - how dumb. Anyone who likes him is a moron and should die. Period."
And
"Did it strike anyone else as odd that [important politician] said that at [important world event]? I wonder where he's getting his information from ... as far as I'm aware ..."
Statements in red are great examples of what is not tolerated by the ChiefDelphi community. If your post looks like a red statement, prepare for the thread to be closed, your post to be deleted or the general community to be upset.
Statements in blue are constructive and/or helpful, and/or leave room for discussion. If your posts look more like the blue statements, you should have nothing to worry about.
