Meaning of [PEACH]?

[Henry]

I'm assuming "Please Evaluate and Critique Here?" or something similar?

Thanks in advance!

I htink is "honestly" instead of "here". Means that the thread's author wants some contructive criticism.

I don't like it very much, because it implies that everyone else who don't use the [PEACH] thing want kneejerk reactions and jokes.

Yeah, I think it's dumb too. It's reduntant: If you post something you are looking for feedback, right?

I kind of felt like it meant "don't criticize too harshly" like "don't flame me for my anthropomorphic suitcase PrC idea" but maybe that was my mistaken impression.

I think it originated on the WotC boards, as a way of requesting honest feedback rather than supportive feedback.

I find it annoying in presumption, and I find it annoying that new posters may think there's some "magic incantation" they need to use to get feedback... or worse, some magic incantation that somehow guarantees them feedback.

I don't give "supportive" feedback, except for the blindingly obvious fact that nearly any constructive feedback is implicitly supportive -- if a person is paying attention to your idea at all, they're giving you a huge complement, even if none of the words typed actually say "good job! pat pat pat on head, free cookie".

Personally, I appreciate a good critique at least as much as adulation and/or free cookies.

The first time I saw the term the subject line was "New Race: PEACH"

I had no idea what it meant and thought "Who the heck would want to play a peach?"

Then along came "Necromancer PEACH" now that is some seriously scary fruit!

Some other fruity acronyms the inventors of "P.E.A.C.H." had initially considered:

P.e.a.r. = Please Examine And Reply

P.l.u.m. = Provide Lavishly Useless Messages

K.i.w.i. = Keep Interesting Webpages Incoherent

B.a.n.a.n.a. = Before Answering Note Any Nonsensical Acronyms

P.r.u.n.e. = Provide Responses Until Nonsense Evaporates

B.l.a.c.k.b.e.r.r.y. = Before Leaving Any Criticism Keep Browsing Everyone's Replies Regarding Yourself



I can't remember the others...

I understood it to be "helpfully."

It's silly and also the easiest way for me to determine which posts I won't bother reading. The only reason I'm posting on this one is to hopefully steer you clear from ever refering to fruit in your thread titles or anywhere in your post. The only exception being if you're OGLing a nifty, new plant monster that pelts PC's with said fruit for the world's enjoyment.

You are doing yourself a disservice to adopt such an acronym. Write your posts to the best of your ability and choose to believe that people who respond will do so with the best of intentions.

When someone responds in a less than respectful manner it is only a reflection on themselves.

I don't care what message board it comes from; adopting internet lingo is an affront to your education(no matter how poorly or well educated you are).

That being said, I hope to see you post something soon, sans any related fruit.

Khem, One-Two-Three-Time King of Chardok

You are teh awesome, and you win this thread. It's not even my thread, but you win it anyways; I'll buy it on credit, that's how awesome you are.

For the longest time, I thought it was just a code name for someone's homebrew project.
