I think many times a song is posted without much direction regarding why the post exists.

When a song is posted for listening pleasure, say so. If a song is posted as a lyrics showcase, say so. If the poster is seeking advice, then say you're seeking advice about so and so.

When a person seeks to develop or showcase an audio production skill or technique and is seeking advice or feedback then state that is the goal. I believe it is also nice for the reader to be given some background information so there is an understanding of what skill level the poster believes they are at. Obviously there are different expectations of someone posting "my first ever recording" versus a song released by someone that earns an income from recording or audio production.

There are many different reasons for a song posting. Without knowing why a song is posted it is way too easy to have feelings hurt.

By the way, great topic in need of much discussion. Belladonna I'm very glad you opened this topic.
