Hmm, the first one would basically stop me contributing at all. You go in feeling all good and like you're going to lend a hand, presumably to people you respect if you want to work with them in the first place, and then they turn around and basically tell you they think you're a retard. It'd hurt pretty bad.
I'd be interested, would you find something like this to be as patronising:
"Thanks for your submission. Could you improve X, Y, Z and resubmit?"
- shadowfiend 13y agoDefinitely less patronizing, yes. I like it very much, but that works better in a situation where you can see that they already understand X/Y/Z reasonably well. I guess I was trying to present the worst possible situation, where it seems like they are stumbling around with concepts that seem to be over their heads, and then I think the risk of being patronizing is worth the value of being as honest as possible.
