Flooding or When is it too much?

Thursday, March 20, 2008 by CarGuy1 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

What constitutes as flooding when it comes to submissions to the galleries?
I ask because for the past couple of months I have upload a little over 50 Dreams which equals about one every day or so. Last night it dawned on me that this may be over doing it.
On the one hand, since DeskScapes pending release is right around the corner I would think a large collection of Dreams to choose from would be welcome. On the other, I don't want to post so many that it intimidates or deters others from posting.
So I ask you, administrators, moderators, and the community at large, when is it too much?

If this has been answered in another thread, I apologize but the search feature for the forums is not working right now.

If you are submitting good quality work and they are getting good downloads then I think you are on the good side of flooding. 

I haven't seen complaints from the other dream-makers and I'd use that as one of the metrics to define flooding too.

I would think that as long as they aren't uploaded all at one time...no problem. This leaves time for others to have they're uploads seen before being shoved back several pages.

And damn! 50 in a month! Your a machine!

Thanks guys...just wanted to make sure that I wasn't causing problems with others in the community.

I have been creating these for the past year and one of my New Years resolutions was to become more involved so I decided it was time to share.

I dont think that I am so much experienced to answer this but still imho if you think that you may be overfludding then you can double the time you work in a dream to make it more fine and add some more features on it. In this way you will improve your work and will enjoy skinning too.

While, I prefer the abstract dream over the video type, I don't mind that you uploaded lots of them. People like them so I think it's great.

My only concern for you is that doing a lot of them might burn you out. Pauses between dreams or spending more time on them is a good way to prevent "fatigue".

I'm not sure if doing too many may, too fast, can bury a gem before it has time to shine?
