Do comments affect what score you give?

I've noticed that it affects me sometimes.

A design will come up and I'll think "omg thats hideous", or "thats lame" but then I'll read the comments and if there's alot of comments in favor then it usually softens my judgement a little. Enough so that I might even give them one or two points higher than I originally intended.

Does anybody else do this?

It depends on the design. If there is a decent design that someone has commented on, and the comment helps explain the work, or helps me see it in a different light, I might score it higher than I would have otherwise.

On the other hand, if there's a mediocre design that is getting all these awesome reviews (obviously from the submitter's friends), it makes me score it LOWER, to try to counteract some of the stupidity.

Like Ian said, I usually score lower when I see a design that I think is mediocre and has a bunch of "I love this shirt" and "best design eva 5$ 5$" that you can tell are just the submitter's friends talking the shirt up.

I agree with everyone, particularly eskimokiss. Also, I like to read the comments to ensure the design isn't a rip off, because I might not recognize it as a rip off.

I'll glance at the comments on a design that catches my eye, but for the most part I'll ignore them. If I think I have a comment to make, I'll read through what others have already said to see if someone already has caught what I saw. Very few offer anything like a real crit on a piece, it's usually the asspatters or the assreamers who spew.
