I'd say get your paws off the infract button. Also, it's silly to argue about the existence of the rule when you have people being infracted for it and CnC is specifically stated as the reason for the infraction. "Posts must be constructive and put forward input" = "Posts require CnC", at least in the eyes of your fellow mods TyZi.

Anyway, clearly nobody likes the current level of enforcement. It's actually scaring people away from posting there, so some action does need to be taken. Let's try turning it back into a place that people wanna visit.

Suo suggested earlier that thread authors could have control over whether or not they demand CnC. As Moop said, a lot of artists are happy to receive non-critical feedback. Since there are already tags in Art, I think it would be fine if people could just indicate in the OP whether they demand CnC from posters.
