LAME!!!

from WinCustomize Forums
people know what they are doing is removing my skins from the visible library and its not fair, they said they were doing it and why, yet no1 cares. I think this system is rigged, because only people with a user level of 4 and higher can rate and that means that they are subscribers and or skinners who want to hold other skinners as down as possible. People dont even download my skins anymore they just click one. Look at the comments at https://www.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SkinID=1289&LibID=25&comments=1 im sick of people just clicking 1. I think there should be a few more rules so people in 'power' dont hold all the cards, i think that you should state why you are rating the skin the way you are rating it, that you should only get to rate 1 skins per artist per day, that people who abuse ratings should lose thier user level, and that skins with a rating of 2 are lower are not hidden by default . Ive made several posts trying to get staff attention yet i continue being ignored. Most the nasty comments i recieve are about my NICK, i find that to be very stupid, what does my name have to do with my skins.

You'll just have to face reality. Your skins get low ratings because they are dreadful. The only way to get higher ratings is to improve your work.

As for your nick. Well, that was your choice - surely you must have realized it could offend a lot of people.

And no-one is ignoring you

regardless of what the skin meaans to you and to other people, people should be allowed to choose if they want to see it or not. Not just the people in power.

Folks have tried to give constructive criticism. Really. But you continue to ignore it. So why demand attention when you don't pay any to the comments you receive?

Your name is offensive. How many people have to tell you that before it sinks in? geesh.

People have tried to tell you in kind and not so kind ways that your work needs more attention and care. All you do is lash out at them. You are an embarrassment to skinning.

You have used profanity over and over and over. You should be very glad to still be around. Others have been exiled for less.

Ill say this as direct as I can. Your work is bad. The ratings reflect the quality of your work.

and yes, since its your thread , I am sure you will delete this comment. Before you do ask yourself this....

What would be the harm in changing my name?

I have looked at your skins (for the first time, like you said they are hidden) I see no rating abuse.

" Skins with one star are not displayed in libraries. "


The user chooses what rating they want to view in their account area.

i understand that some of them are rated low fo a reason but look at #2 /\ he purposly clicked 1 so it would be removed from the library

Nothing is removed from the libraries. You have to set your personal preferences to allow all skins to be viewed.

Go to my account/ preferences/ view all skins.

Most people don't want to view anything under 2stars. So they go by poplar demand. I have it marked that I can see all ratings.

i know but by DEFAULT it is hidden, most people havent even touched the settings, i know its in the library, but since it is hidden by default, ive lost alot of ranks.

The ratings system overall has proven to be pretty fair. On the rare occasions when there has been ratings abuse, it's been corrected quickly. Generally, if you're consistently getting low ratings, it means you need to hone your skills. I personally could care less about your nickname, and I haven't been following the discussion on why you chose it. If it's causing so much negative feedback, you might want to consider changing it though...if only to cut down on general nastiness.

Do you care that your work needs attention or do you only care about your rankings? Make better stuff , get better rankings. It isn't any clearer than that.

Oh wait, I get it now. TO ALL WINCUSTOMIZE MEMBERS NEW AND OLD... please set all your library viewing settings to 1/2 star or above until god's work improves enough to stand on its own. He would appreciate it greatly.

I really don't think there is some vast skinner conspiracy mounted against you IMGOD. Really.

Folks such as myself have seen your work and rated it according to what we think it deserves. Nothing more, nothing less. I don't even give it a second thought when I rate a skin as to what that will do to its visibility. I simply give it what I think it has earned.

Unfortunately you are your own worst enemy. Please try to produce better screenshots as that is the first thing that people will see and will colour their opinion of your cursor/skin before they even download it. Also learn to take constructive criticism from those offering it and ignore those just saying 'this sucks'. Personally I agree that the cursor you linked has had a harsh treatment but from the screenshot I can see why. While you are learning skinning still it might be wise to not upload every single thing you create. I looked through your library and was amazed by the amount of cursors in there. There are some in there that I liked but unfortunately you've swamped them in so many others of a lesser quality that after looking through the first ten I just didn't feel like continuing.

i have rated the last couple of your cursor sets low .. i admit it ... i rated them based on my opinions of them.. since you are asking why the low rateings .. here i go .. they are simply .. bad .. a pixelated mess that my 6yo could do on an etch a sketch...clean them up.. make them more useable. please take more than 3 minutes on each set .....my rateings werent based on your name .. nor were they based on your pompus attitude toward the community at large .. my rateing were only based on the fact that they hurt my eyes to gaze upon them.....

Like Night Train , I find you nick extremely offensive. Usually I skip over your stuff for that reason. Normally I wouldn't have even checked this thread except it's been very active while I've been lurking.
My suggestion is first change the nick... I may not help your ratings but it will allow for a little more "constructive" criticism instead of just criticism. I've never rated any of your skins but with your nickname I would expect perfection.
