Every time someone posts something to a forum they know they are opening themselves up to criticism, if they weren't willing to accept it, they wouldn't post.
It depends on how the criticism is offered i guess. you could say
A - "you're drums sound like utter w***, i hate them, it's sh*t"
when all you mean is
B - "i think you could tone down the compression as it makes the drums sound off and hard to listen to"
If you offered A on one of my recordings, id call you a rude name and probably not post again. if you offer me B however, im more inclined to go back and listen to the drums again, because quite often a second set of ears makes a massive difference.
Again, harsh criticism is fair enough, but setting up a sub forum to effectively slate peoples efforts isn't needed.
that depends on how the criticism is offered i guess.

You make a good point there. Though going from on BC in general, I don't think genuine members would look to be offensive.
I suppose a better idea is if someone wants honest brutal (but not personal/nasty) criticism, then in the current share your music forum they should just ask for that sort of feedback.
