Unfair Practice

Jafo !

from WinCustomize Forums
The three links below are links to 3 logons that jafo sent me email saying that they did not meet specifications and I believe that with 3 in a row I am due an explanation seeing they are not copyright, they are not graphic, they are not a rip. So i would like to find out whats going on. also below you will see a letter of authorizaton from the author, authorizing me to port his stuff. So where is the problem? Just curious.

Longhorn fx http://www.themexp.org/preview.php?mid=87513&type=login&view=&page=&cat=&name=Longhorn+FX1.zip

Long Pro http://www.themexp.org/preview.php?mid=88706&type=login&view=&page=&cat=&name=Long+Pro.zip

Hi...I have downloaded your blinds and find your work to be extremely well done. Been using your blinds since you put them up at Theme XP. I am a big fan of your work. But unfortunately I am a window blind user and had to port down for myself for personal use. but I believe your blinds would make an excellent addition to our community at Stardock-Wincustomize as well as your logons. I also am using them and find them to be very well done. Therefore, my question to you is...would you give me authorization to port your library to Wincustoms? Of course all credit would go to you, with a direct link going to your library and your website. Below I will put a link to Wincustomize and my library to WinCustomize. I would appreciate if you would let me know your decision regardless of what it will be. I thank you in advance for your consideration.

Let's bottom line this:

Making a respectable preview image is part of the submission.  Most people make judgments on a skin/theme/whatever based on the preview.  If you can't take the time to create decent preview images, then you shouldn't be uploading them in the first place.

Moreover, we already get grief from people who claim that the content here on WinCustomize is sub-par.  Poorly thought out previews only add to this problem. 

I don't think we're asking very much for skinners, particularly people porting other people's work, to take the time to make a reasonable screenshot.

Making a respectable preview image is part of the submission and I agree with that wholeheartedly. I dont know if you have ever seen any of the screenshots I have made but I didnt think they were that bad. And I guess you do get a lot of flack from critics...You know people always got to talk about something. But I will guaratee you one thing..if I make a screenshot or a preview, whatever, I try to do my best as I am sure is the case with the others.

Moderation is the 'guarantee' that screenshots will be good enough....
