What's wrong with you people?
Sunday, January 6, 2008 by natas2 | Discussion: ObjectDock
I uploaded a highly superior dock the other day and it only has a two star rating. Don't you people rate when you download. Or are you all freeloaders? That dock background is much better than most of them on here. Apparently, if you aren't "mainstream" you don't get recognized. Whatever.
*EDIT* I want folks to know that I realize I started out here as an ass. I'm sorry. No excuses. Please forgive me.

He changed the description. He got a lot of flak for his original description.

It was exactly how the artist described it in his two-word description.... black and simple.
If the artist wishes his audience to view his work as superior, it would be helpful if he didn't describe it as simple. Perhaps on his next upload, should there be one, he could describe his work to better reflect its true splendor so we may vote accordingly.

Thanks Messiah1, I must have missed the original description.
But those two words were really all that was needed; any more would just be redundant.

natas2, while your docks are good to say they are superior is going a bit to far. they are no better and no worse than any other submission by any other person. for you to think that your work is better is either extremely arrogant or very short sighted and devalues all the other people who submit docks to the gallery. hopefully you have learned something during this debarcle and won't be so pig headed in future.

Was thinking of 667...now I can go with 997 and not be trapped between neighbours from hell.
Gawd, I can picture the former now... never-ending orgies and debauchery one side... incessant vocal complaints from an atheist goody-two-shoes on the other.

Natas....Apparently you didn't venture to far into the Objectdock library...so to save you some time why don't you go check out these galleries... Mine ... Messiahs & Cavan1's ... Now...mind you they may not be as "superior" to yours since we've only been doing these for a few years now...if you indeed made that dock...but I'd venture to say they are pretty close to superior.
Ok...having said that and gotten it out of my system. First.....don't worry about ratings...I've had lots of docks with low ratings because not everyone takes the time to rate...but yet the downloads said otherwise. Second...If you did make that dock it doesn't look bad for a first submission...so lets see some more...and if the next few get any better I will personally give you a 5 rating on them across the board.

I dunno about that...one of your former g/f's reckons the
thing she loved about you most is that you're ALL beast.

Well nata2, I am a paid member and download a lot of things...skins, docks, widgets, etc. and I might make a comment about how the screenshot looks, but the proof is in the using. Once I use an item and see how it works and looks on my system, then I go back and rate it. Why rate WHEN you download when the item might be total crap once you install it.
By the way, it's vain-glorious for you to call your own creation "highly superior". That would be for others to judge don't you think?!

Look on the bright side i don't discriminate, i never give votes for anything i download,quite frankly i would'nt want some git who does'nt know the first thing about skinning voting for anything i made, it should only be skinners themselves & experianced ones at that, that vote ,not general joe public like myself,the best gauge is how many downloads you get,i could mention rank ho but then i'd be talking about myself

Yes, I don't think that they are all that great but there were only 611 downloads and it appears that only 2-4 people rated. That's just their opinion, if you like it, you may consider it good but I don't recommend running around saying that it's superior to others.

Maybe SD will move the rating away from the download button...mistakes are made that way. Also, maybe the rating thing isn't as important as your own sense of accomplishment having produced somethiong you like?

Having said that, if you mis-rate, you can re-rate and the last rating will overwrtie the previous.
