Well by posting anything either negative or positive you end up not only providing feedback, but also bumping the post in popularity, so if ultimately your wish is for the cankle posts to be demoted, the best idea is not to say anything in reply. I think this is a fairly reasonable formula.
To encourage others to do the same is somewhat silly, as they may actually like the content, or like the person in the content.
Also there is no clear and present "standard", unless it's just plainly off-topic or outside of the scope of the community at large.
If said encouragement on your behalf were to work work, how do you know that photos you actually like will not suffer ablation from same sword you gave the community to wield, as everyone's opinion of beauty and well photographed is different.

Apart from the fact that not making offensive comments demonstrates class(something our country is serverely lacking in these days), the environment created on forums such as the Mousepad -with members posting constant rude, juvenile, and offensive comments about other members wives and girlfriends photos- is one that strongly discourages new content being posted.
While I never had an offensive comment posted about my wife's photos, I saw numerous times where a couple posted pictures that were met with absolutely horrific comments. So- logically-if the female in the relationship -who has gone along with allowing her husband or boyfriend to post pics of her feet for the first time- gets responses that she's really fat, ugly, or whatever crap these pieces of trash post- the fun is over for the guy who wanted to post pics, as well as members who enjoyed the pics. I'm long gone from ever going there at all these days.
I certainly agree that I see well-recieved posts of feet I do not remotely find attractive. So- If we were to post negative comments about these posts- what would be accomplished?
My opinion is that we should create as welcoming an environment as possible for amatuer pics here at Wu's. I personally try to comment and be as supportive as possible without being insincere about posts I'm not crazy about. When we post pics of our wives it's alot of fun- and I'm sure you enjoy recieving positive responses to your posts as much as we do.
However- lots of members here do not post pics or offer responses to other members posts. If 1% of the current membership posted responses to each post- there would 410 or so per posting. Likewise- I would like to see more than that 1% post new material on this forum.

Very well said, Oscar! What's the point in posting negative comments?! It serves no purpose. At the end of the day its someones girlfriend/wife you are commenting on. If you have nothing good to say about some girls feet, don't say anything at all!

All of our different tastes notwithstanding, yes, wvcple 2003, I do the very same thing. There have been many times (too many to count) when I've poised my fingers over the keyboard to give the poster the feedback he requested, but then backed off. And I suppose that's what irks me the most. Some posters put up pics of their wife's or girlfriend's feet, with the question: "What do you guys think?" Well, they don't want to know what we think, not really. What they want is group affirmation: that those flat, wide, ugly-ass feet of his wife or girlfriend are simply exquisite. I'd rather move on than post what I really think, or worse, post some inane comment like "Thanks, bro! Nice post." I don't want to encourage him. He may subject us to even more!

Oscar you said it PERFECTLY!!! i have posted on mouse pad and another site. i have recieved a few negative comments but i know that not everone likes what im offering. the atmosphere here at wus IS welcoming and 99 percent of the time supportive in all aspects. that is really key. i don't think that i would have EVER been comfortable with my foot fetish if i had not been shown here first. the attitude and support here made the difference in MY perception of my fetish.
summary here lol no reason to be rude. just move on to something that you DO find attractive. kudos guys and dolls!
-------------------- So…. Here you are… too foreign for home…. too foreign for here…. Never enough for both……

If what you're saying is that you want to post "I don't find your wife or girlfriends feet attractive"- that is pretty banal and I guess if you felt compelled to do so- go for it. But if you're suggesting you're unhappy because you feel that you can't post insulting or hurtful comments- I think that is unfortunate you would want to. Most of us who post here are trying to have fun.I'm not looking for the whole membership to compliment my wife's feet, I look for comments from the handful of people who really like them ,and we try to fufill requests from about 15 members here who do. My wife's feet are very small-I know there are plenty of guys who don't like that and I'm not offended by that fact, or does it make me love her feet less.
Like I say- most of us are just trying to have fun. Years ago prior to the internet did we ever suspect there would be a place this fun for people who like feet ? My opinion is that we should keep it a fun and happy place and not some fucking hatefest.

The keyboard is the desired weapon of the keyboard warrior. It is so easy for a fat, piece of trash of a guy to bash a girl who isn't a perfect model type. Not saying everyone here fits that bill, or even the negative posters, but once in a while, look into the mirror and ask how you'd fair in the desirable category. Yes, I know they're putting themselves out there, but hey, at least they're trying to make connections in our community. If not your cup of tea, I just say silence is golden or even just as big of a statement as the, "OMGosh, WTF is that... i see better all time," posts.

oscarthemonkey, thanks for your reply. A couple of points:
1.
quote: If what you're saying is that you want to post "I don't find your wife or girlfriends feet attractive"- that is pretty banal...
Yes, that would be banal. And no, I would never write such a thing.
2.
quote: But if you're suggesting you're unhappy because you feel that you can't post insulting or hurtful comments- I think that is unfortunate you would want to.
Unhappy because I can't say nasty things? I'm not suggesting anything of the kind. The original poster asked if we ever refrain from posting our negative reactions to certain pics. My answer was yes.
However, my larger point was that if someone wants to post pics of someone's feet they admire, fine, post away. Just don't ask what we think. Simply post them, state proudly that they're your wife's or girlfriend's feet, and leave it at that. The question: "So, what do you guys think?" seems a little needy to me, and wholly disingenuous, because more often than not they don't really want to know what we think.
3.
quote:My opinion is that we should keep it a fun and happy place...
I agree, we should keep this place fun. Which is why, when it comes to posted pics, I, borrowing from the original poster's topic line, bite my tongue. Often. And I'm obviously not the only one.
Having said that, though, I don't think that this place should only be some frothy candy land. There should be times--say, on issues like the ethics of candid photos, or criminal behavior linked to our fetish, or the coveting of a family member's feet--where we should feel comfortable enough here to have a well-reasoned, honest and adult debate.

I believe negative comments are made by people who are unhappy in their own lives and want to bring other people down a little, just to make themselves feel better. Its a little pointless. I dont care who you are or what you like, there are going to be other people who dont like it or like it even more than you do. I hate peas but if someone posted about how much they love them I am not going to hassle them about it and as far as feet go I am like a kid in a candy store good luck finding something I dont like. What exactly are you trying to accomplish with a negative post anyway? Make the person who posted it feel bad? Make the people who like it feel bad? Because I promise you every single pic posted here was loved by someone, even if it was a very small percentage someone loved it. In closing just remember there are a ton of people out there that find even the most beautiful feet in the world appalling and as far as I am concerned they can keep it to themselves.

Unless someone is posting some really uncared for, gnarly feet, I am always happy to see posts. That is the sign that the forum is healthy and strong. I will sometimes comment when a posted set happens to be something that I like, but I did find out here a while back that my taste does not line up with many on the board (recall I posted a couple of shots of a model named Eliza, aka FootGurl). I thought the said model's feet were absolutely wonderful, and some posters replied back with some not so nice comments... To each his own, I suppose.
When I post in response, it is because I liked what I saw and I want to offer a compliment and ENCOURAGEMENT to post MORE....
Like my parents taught me when I was a child, "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."
