Retired or retarded?  Hum.  Did you know there are a lot of retired military on this site and you are putting us all to shame acting like a recruit.  Even the best skinners have had rejections.  The personal page was started because of all the cry babies that had thinngs rejected.  This way they at least had exposure.  Now if someone of your age wants to keep on crying, its just making you look bad and all us other old folks.

I just wanted my art to be judged fairly.

And that it was, but as you say yourself you don't give a crap, clearly because your "walls" weren't put up on a pedestal for display to the world.

They were judged by us, the mods, in the same way as any other submission to this site, that goes through moderation.
If you cannot deal with that - tough. You're no more special than any of the other 4+ million members of this site.

The moderators on Wincustomize have more experience in skinning than most others.
I myself have been in this business for over a decade, actively skinning for many years and know more skinnable applications than most others, and I do know shit from gold too.

I contend the mods are biased and that is my final choice and words on this subject. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I was Brown shoe Marine before II retired from the Air Force, I have put no retired folks to shame. I was taught to say it like it is, if some do not like that that is their problem not mine.

Where is the friggin quote button around here any way!! !!

 

Quote.. "Here are a couple of mine that were rejected"..end quote

My opinion.. not good! That is all right though.. my first attempts five years ago were less than appealing, I kept at it and improved my skills.. I've had quite a few submissions not make it here..but that was more fuel for my fire..

Yet everyone else thinks they are fair. You have no valid argument. Everyone starts somewhere, keep skinning, you'll get better.

Why is an active mod allowed to call people retarded? Especially retired military personnel?

 

CLEARLY A PROBLEM....CAN'T YOU SEE IT?

I see no problem at all due to the tripe and BS coming out of that member the Question was directed at.

Your first day here and 1) no need for CAPS, 2) making a statement concerning a situation you probably don't know all about.

It is your problem when you are not listening to what has been repeatedly explained about moderation and how it works, it makes what you are saying complete tripe and BS.

This nonsense from you is something I would expect of a new first day member, not from a 8 and 1/2 year WC member as you are.

You must have me confused with someone who gives a crap, I would advise these faceless souls to volunteer in different field.

You seriously need to take a deep breath and step back.

First- you are missing the entire point of the thread. Having work delegated to your personal gallery is something that happens. Everyone in this thread had had it happen. My intention was to recognize the artist and to let them know they are not alone. I've had walls sent to my personal gallery.  I really wanted to make a thread where artists could share that stuff, maybe get pointers, and just support each other.

Second- you've been a member here long enough...I shouldn't have to explain this - but the wallpaper you made and posted in the thread with my icon without asking me..tsk tsk. The avatar I can deal with and consider an honor. (Thank You)

There already is a wallpaper posted here

Finally- Your screenshots are nice. (Can't find your walls.) You obviously have and eye for blending and color and you know how to manipulate an image (Eg- the avatar) do NOT give up. I would be more than happey to point you in the direction of some great tutorials if I knew what you were going for or offer ANY tips I could (I use photoshop)

 

As someone who has argued it out with the mods and admins over rejections and been pretty miffed myself, I can tell you in ALL HONESTY there is no biased AND the folks that are reaching out to you really do want to help and assist you in reaching your goal and improving the skills you already have.

I'd just post it on http://www.deviantart.com/

They do a pretty good job of judging artworks. That is as long as it is legally yours! [no pun intended]

Oh and US Military has the best reguards; but all live under the same rules.

Do not be offended - just keep trying. Takes time to get things as you want it; as with what people see you like and they like.

I am not offend by what anyone says, that is their right. As far as being called retarded by a moderator, the man is entitled to his erroneous view. I have been called worse by better men than him. No it is not my problem if you have problems with what I believe it your problem. I is what I is said the sailor man.

But none of your views can be erroneous?

No it is not my problem if you have problems with what I believe it your problem.

No it is not my problem that you believe that on a site with 4.15 million members that the mods have been biased concerning your walls.

True. Fuggin' ugly wall, eh? At least Po's badge looks good. I figured maybe I'd hitch a ride with it. Maybe I put on another 10-12 it'll be accepted!

Shame scarcasm can't be seen in words or you would know that I didn't call you retarded.  A lot of what your saying is.  Your...the world is wrong and I'am right just doesn't make sense.  If what you put up is called art then DA is the place to upload it.  Wallpapers are suposed to compliment windowblinds.  I failed to see where those orange pieces would do that.  I did like the one that had those 3 shapes down the middle(don't remember the name) and said so.  But as the saying goes, majority rules.
