Wallpaper Moderators?

Wallpaper Moderators?

I was just curious if someone new is moderating the Wallpaper submissions.

I should probably just keep my mouth shut but I just can't any longer, now please don't anyone get defensive and pounce on me but all one has to do is look at the first few pages of submissions to realize that the quality of walls(with the exception of a few) is seriously going down hill. How is some of this stuff getting through moderation?

I don't claim to be an artist or anything, in fact I am pure amateur, but some of those...mmmm....I just don't get it.

I think there are many of you that would agree with me on this, the number of downloads on some of them speak loud and clear as to what most wincustomizer's are thinking.

Please don't be angry at me guys, this is just an observation over the last week or so, which has made me think there is new blood moderating the walls.

Well in reference to the message board, there probably have been some threads posted in the recent past where it might have been better if the poster had first emailed the Admins/mods with their concerns/issues rather than going public right off the bat, IMO.

As for moderation of walls this has been discussed over and over and perhaps those who are concerned should be given a stint as a "guest moderator" for a month. Not to have a deciding vote but to provide input to the other mods. But the guest will have to see every submission and comment on it and recommend OK or not OK and why so the mods know they actually reviewed the walls. It would be an interesting experiment. I suspect by the end of the month the guest might not want to look at another wall for a long time.

DarkMist: I'm not saying no walls. I'm saying that they should be designed to complement a particular skin and it should be stated what skin it goes with.

Of course that is just my opinion and I'm not expecting anyone else to agree with it.

i'd like 2 say something about the wallsection, 1st dark mist, it seems that the prob is not if u dont like it dont download it, i dont download stuff i dont like.

i am more concerned about getting something ok'ed. i've uploaded about 20 walls, which none were excepted, thats all well and good, i get frustrated cuz i dont know y, i'd like 2 have a chance 2 c what other ppl think of my work, good or bad, that way i could improve my work without having 2 guess whats wrong. i know i'm no gr8 artist, but i feel some of my stuff is as good as what has been excepted. i'm a bryce user, and alot of ppl here on wc talk of bryce as if it were a dirty word.

i agree with armani and zodiaq and what they had 2 say.

1 last thought, this is a skin site, so y is there such a gr8 concern about the walls, 2 me the concern should b on the quality of the skins.

1 more thought, i'm in no way mad at any1 or criticising any1, i write the post mostly out of frustration. i would not like 2 b in the admin's or mod's shoes, i just hope they can figure out something equitable 4 every1.

best of luck 2 every1!!

From my stand point I don't think I'm whining.....

 

It sounds like, for some reason, you thought I was talking directly to you.

It was a general comment due to the fact that there has been a plethera of wallpaper moderation threads during the last month all complaining about something different.

Denny03...you've had a quite high proportion of your submissions accepted....I know, because I accepted many of them...

Green Armani, likewise...some of which I pushed through immediately on upload simply because I can recognize good work when I see it.

Other works get comments like 'I don't know' or 'haven't we already got too many just like it', and languish waiting for a consensus one way or another.

I would HOPE that there is more to anyone's leaving than what is contained in this thread...but people are free to come and go as the whim takes them. However if there IS another [darker] reason it'd be clever to contact an Admin and discuss it....

Geez...I knew I should have just kept my mouth shut.
This is the last thing I wanted to happen. It seems you can't post anything on this board if it's not agreeable to everyone without it turning into a fiasco.

Will a moderator please close this thread it's a waste of time and energy.

I'm gonna go finish a skin I've been working on so I can upload for all of ya
