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.

Ok, was there a answer to this and did macrobaye understand it? It just seemed like we were on and off topic with this. But did macrobaye get his answer, even if it wasn't what he wanted to hear?

He's gone away to make better wallpapers

Let me put this in a nutshell:

We moderate wallpapers. The wallpapers in question were moderated by me. I gave them 1, 2, 3 type ratings because while they were good enough to make it on the site, the rating allows the author to know how closely the wallpaper came to being moderated.

Each moderator has their own taste. Art is, after all, a matter of taste. You are certainly free to disagree with my taste in ratings and users can rate the wallpapers higher than I did to bring up its score.

I'm not going to apologize for having an opinion.
