Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

In the early 2000s working for a major telecommunications company we were told that it took 10 positive experiences to hear back from someone (who was happy with what you did,) but for negative experiences, it averaged less than 3.
I don't know if that's a universal rule or what but I always operate on the assumption that people love to bitch more than they love to praise.
People would praise if they feel like they got their money's worth. The cost of services is so high that people getting good service feels like breaking even instead of losing out
Well, what even is a "positive experience"? "Getting exactly what you paid for"? The service being "mostly reliable"? Those are basically neutral.
It's in our DNA, it's a survival instinct.
