Flag stories to invite criticism?
I've come across a couple of thorny comment-exchanges because I've left commentary under the "criticism" flag. It appears to me that those authors really weren't looking for criticism.
Knowing that there are different levels of approach for this thing, I wonder if it might be possible to work in a flag of some sort to indicate whether the author is inviting criticism.
Perhaps making the criticism button on the commentary page unavailable unless the author wants it?
I just want to avoid offending more people, if I can help it.

Inappropriate?Yeah, I'm already thinking about this, in addition to allowing authors to make certain stories un-rateable (potentially a new category for that.)
I'll see what I can work out, may take a little bit for me to get to it though. I think groups might help this too, people looking for serious critique could create a group just for that purpose.
I’m confident

Inappropriate?Meh. it's a collaborative writer's group, isn't it? If I added to someone's chapter, and totally didn't pick up what they'd put down, I'd be embarassed *not* to hear about it. Both times I've done this already (still learning to read authour guidance first, though I swear Tasha did a little fancy fix up after the fact, different story) Anyhow, I think in any collaborative writing effort , criticism (or "exploring opportunities for improvement") is one big cornerstone of communication. I'd hope that the group's culture would set the tone.
I don't think that a harsh response to well thought criticism is a product of the criticism, but rather the individual's inability to understand its importance. Again, collaborative writing site. One which would lose a lot of its strength if all we could say was "Great stuff!" ,, "Good Effort!" and "Cute!"
While I've had my share of indignation regarding my work, it's usually reflected in a scenario where I get low rating, but no justification in the form of a critique. I think we (we? lol) should cater to the spirit of collaborative writing.
I’m undecided
