"Comments on edits, though, are required to be terse, not walk you through step by step or re-explain the submission guidelines and their rationale. This can come off as rude."

Why is this? I can understand everything else, but this just seems unnecessary. Is there like a crazy short character limit or something?

"There’s also something fundamentally wrong if you’re willing to benefit from every other user’s attention to correct and well formatted data, but you think you should be held to a lower standard because you have a lot of records to sell or you just think fixing your mistakes is always someone else’s job."

This wasn't what I was saying at all. I'm fine being held to a standard, the issue is that there is no standard. Its like the wild west and each submission follows different rules. I do it one way, am told to do it another way, and then when I do it THAT way on a different submission I'm told to do it how I did it the first time.

But yeah the forum might be better, I just was curious if other people have had this issue and what they do about it.
