Not everyone can be an astronaut. This community is built on doing awesome stuff, and sadly that pretty much entails that if you worked really hard and ultimately failed then your work is of little consequence.

A well thought out post detailing why you failed and why you don't think you will next time is a different story, though.



But even if your project and/or idea is rubbish it is still nice to get some feedback as opposed to 0 up-votes and complete radio silence.

The only way to improve is to get some criticism and work on fixing identified problems.


Totally. I'm not saying don't submit.

I'm just saying blindly upvoting everyone who tries undermines the whole point of having a karma system in the first place.
