PROTIP: You're getting shit for free; this doesn't mean that people should give you more and personally-tailored shit for free. Sorry.

It sounds like you and these artists need to calm down... when people say stuff like that you don't need to fly off the handle. It's not like they're saying 'do this or die' or whatever, its just feedback or suggestion. If all artists' want is their ego to be stroked with nothing but 'good job' or 'oh my god this is awesome' then they probably shouldn't be posting their stuff here, or perhaps not even on a forum in the first place.
If an artist doesn't want to see the bad replies/comments with the good replies/comments then post it on DA with comments disabled... Its one or the other, and quite frankly theres no reason to fly off the handle when someone simply says 'that'd look great bigger' or 'that'd look great with nipples'. Unless of course they constantly pester you in which case we have the technology to simply add them to the ignore list instead of making a whole scene of it.
TLDR: they're posting their art on a site with software based on talking... what do they expect?
