WARNING: Ranting and Complaining Ahead, Proceed With Caution

Published on February 18, 2004 By macrobaye In WinCustomize Talk

Ok...I normally avoid ranting and complaining as much as possible, but this has gotten out of hand...

SOMEONE has been attacking my most recent submissions with unusually low ratings... Take, for instance, the last three:

https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?library=8&SkinID=15327
https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?library=8&SkinID=15329
https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?library=8&SkinID=15328

Never have I seen ANY skins rated 1's and 2's right off the bat...And not only that... I really don't believe that these walls deserve such low ratings. Now I'm sorry if what I'm doing annoys some of you, but this annoys me even more. So, here's a request:

ADMINS:
Please take a look into this situation, because I really hate when people take grudges against another user and vent off steam by shoving low ratings down their throats...

SKINNERS:
If you like the walls, please comment. If you have the ability to rate, please rate.

Thanks for anyone who can post replys, I need all the feedback about this issue I can get.

You smell that? That's a flamewar, son. I love the smell of messageboards in the morning. Smells like... victory.

P.S. n00b13z don't surf!!

When I think of ChinaCat, minimal doesn't spring to mind...

All this over a 2 rating. Ratings are over rated, be thankful you got your work accepted.

I know Brad has said this before but it is worth repeating .... WC is a 'skinning site'.
Walls are ( and this is not verbatim ) 'not a priority ' ....

So if Brad rated your work but passed it for upload you've dodged the first bullet.
If I dislike something I don't bother commenting .... and I tend to avoid doing so even if I do like an upload because too many people get the hump about a positive comment as well as a negative one.
And after all is said and done, opinions are like bottoms .... everyone has one.

Your comments, China, you have to admit, were very unneeded and provocative

This reaction speaks volumes .... don't ask the question if you are not prepared for the answers.
Not everyone will say what you want them to, fishing for compliments is a risky business at best and a bruised ego obscures ones objectivity.>

Hmmm.... Another media strumpet, after nothing but ratings, if you are happy with what you have done, that's all you need, ratings don'y mean diddly

Not meant as a personal attack (because i dont know anyone) here but IF I were to ever upload anything and the community's rating wasn't what I had hoped for...

I wouldnt blame the community. I would take it as my work isnt up to par. I understand that the rating system is under scrutiny here but dont we all fall under the same criteria when uploading?

Take responsibilityy for your own actions. Be patient, wait and see what happens with the ratings before ranting about it. I have seen some pretty incredible work on this site. I trust everyones judgement. Life isnt fair and never will be. You are angry and venting out at whomever opens the door for you.

About the walls... Dont tell me what is good, I can figure that out for myself. Wall 1-rating 5...wall 2-rating 3...wall3-rating 1.This is my completely unbiased opinion.
