What I do like about them is addressing them in a positive manner. Designer are going to read them and are not going to like or agree with them but even if they are not constructive for the designers I think it lets the designer learn how to determine which ones are productive comments. These are things all professional designer are going to face through the course of their careers. That is not say the readers of Dezeen should not be more responsible when making comments and do their best to be constructive and not negative; for ultimately it's that the point of design no matter what field one is practicing in. Try to expand the minds of everyone and teach people to be more excepting of new and different concepts that could be better for society. So far my experience with Dezeen has been nothing but positive and I believe I have provided great support to some designers that will surely be well known in the near future. Thank you Dezeen for expanding minds. Please, leave the comments the way they are and hopefully we will learn for ourselves how to deal with them and each other in a positive manner.

One of the reasons I come here is because I can quickly react and I am free to do that. By the other hand, I find negative comments really useful ! I was reading articles here all day, and to be honest, most of the negative comments helped me have a better judgement over the qualities of the projects. weird ? Not all of them are fair, but I can judge about them on my own...I do not need censorship to remove them for me... Noooo, don’t make it with log-in for members..!!

There are the few that do offer insightful critiques that I find it is worth having than not to see it at all. If anything, remove the comments that are directly harmful and do not promote encouraging/constructive criticism. Maybe you could also have registered users for comments, if they continue to be detrimental to the designer's work then after a given amount of chances, ban him from commenting.

Simple, brief and clear... and interesting. Really we were bored of common comments, either making the designers big stars of success of making them the biggest losers... Then, where was the reality?
