This note is not for everyone in the DP team, but for some of you in particular. I hope you guys take this in consideration as it is positive criticism, not about your programming skills, which are quite obviously much superior than mine, but to your communications and inter-personnal skills, which are, in most cases(I repeat, not for everyone) lacking.

I will point only to this as a demonstration: When you move stuff to ­''not accepted''(happened to a few guys lately who work really hard and contribute alot of stuff) it wouldnt cost much to post something like: ''sorry man, cant accept this because of this or that reason'', instead of just throwing it there. It's not a very nice thing to basically throw away things that other people worked very hard on(and for free, like you too) without a simple explanation other than some dry comment, or just nothing at all. If these people(myself included) are here, it's because they believe in the project and in you guys, but when things like that happen it can shatter someone's trust in a project or in some individuals. That's just my way of seeing things of course, what do I know about it? I've only been leading work teams for about 10 years now, so I'm not sure I know enough about how to motivate and how to demotivate people...

In any case, I think that you are not helping yourselves by doing this, but it's just my opinion.

**NOTE: this is not a complaint on my part, but mainly an advice on the one area where some of you are lacking skill, no matter if you are computer geniuses.

Generally, we move contributions to custom area or not accepted area, when they:

- Really are is a custom contribution.
- When they have like 80% of customs stats or per example skill working really custom not according to description.
- When these contribution is already committed.
- when some bug is already fixed.
- When a contribution is very old, example a old contribution from C5, never checked or tested.

Currently I'm trying to check every day contributions here in "datapack forum", and committing some of these "after testing obviously"

Others devs works in others areas, etc.

PD: Anyway if you find some contribution moved to no accepted without reason, please let me know, (private message).

Hi Melerix,
I am not discussing your motives for moving these contributions there. I had a few of mine moved there, and for good reasons. And I am not saying that you guys dont work hard. I am just saying that maybe ''positive reinforcement'' towards these people would work better if you want them to help more and do more retail stuff than just throwing things into ''not accepted''(which is where these contributions should go, I am not arguing that).

I am not talking here about myself, because I got help from some of you guys that was REALLY appreciated. And I dont want everyone in the datapack to feel that I am pointing at them, I am just saying ''please, use a little bit of tact''. When you are playing with projects that people put their heart and soul into, you are also playing with their feelings.

Have a nice day and keep up the good work
