What does it take to get a Wallpaper Approved?

Seem Like A Crock

Sunday, February 19, 2006 by P1Guy | Discussion: New Users

Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzz, Upload 3 or 4 wallpapers, and all are refused.. Wow

All wallpapers are available on Skinbase.org, and one got a nice comment from Andi18.. Oh, well nice to post where others will except your work. One i can see, but 3 up'd and none qualify, whats up? Discourging to say the least.

Was told differently WOM. Perhaps by an unreliable source. I was under the "assumption" that certain Admins/Mods cover certain areas on different days. Not that a couple of them vote for the wall. But, I don't know as I don't oversee or even know of the correct operation around here for approvals and rejections.

Regardless, don't like bashing this site. Even though I've maybe been here like 3 times for the past 4 months I still support it on and offline. Hell, at work I hand out flyers with WC and Skinnalicious on it. Seriously.

Love Stardock, infact, I'll be renewing my ObjectDesktop subscription next weekend. Just don't like a lot around the site. Then again, haven't uploaded a lot of "varied" works so possibly the problem is that. Usually most of my designs are based on the same "forms" of art as I normally do.

Anyways, just expressing my dis-pleasure about the wallpaper approvals. I've seen less be approved. We all have probably.

And it's not like I thrive on my "works" and their approvals. Hell, I have Skinnalicious for posting my stuff. Would just like something to be approved here for a change. I've been looking through the gallery and making nice stuff. For every 10 walls I make I upload 1 because I see what's approved. Just think something is fishy on it. But, I do respect Jafo's word as closure on the subject.

On an update. Check out my gallery. When my wallpaper "Target Earth" is approved (not looking for an over-rule).. Anyone tell me what your thoughts are on the wall. I put 2 hours time into it. Sad I know, but I feel it turned out very well.

A photo, even with the MS colors/flag stands a very small chance of being approved, because its a photo.  orbs, and those big fish are in the same boat as with those countless lens flares.

This was a "spacey" one. With earth being target by what looks to be an Alien Ship with an Advanced Targeting system. May have gotten a bit "nutty" with certain effects. Could be why who knows.

Jafo can tell you more than anyone. Every now and then I'll get heated up and ramble on for a post or 3. Then I'm generally a "good community member" for a few months Just certain things touch my buttons. Anyone can related.

I was under the "assumption" that certain Admins/Mods cover certain areas on different days.

Not quite universally....that only occurs where the only criteria for rejection is rippage and/or porn, etc....and even then if there's a doubt about a work's validity it is still left for comment/opinion.

Specifically walls are accepted/rejected via consensus...

My two cents on this is, that the moderators work really hard at trying to make the best wallpaper gallery on the net..But I do have to express, There are a lot of lame walls in the gallery, some just darn right ugly and useless...Im so sick of Terra Gen or Landscape walls, and alot of the "Dark art" or Evil art are pretty crappy too.For the most part I have found the largest part of my walls on DeviantArt and on smaller sites, like the people here mention. I have never submitted anything I have done here, because I know it will be rejected. So I dont even try, I have seen this exact thread so many times I feel I shouldn't even start.But on Deviant art it is so much easir to get good critisism and help, plus the tutorial section is massive and informative.
