Do you have to be apart of a click?
Saturday, November 22, 2008 by EZSEEK | Discussion: Community
?".. I know I did not start out so well with helping my self on a old article i had out, but yet found out what I thought, allot were fast to be rude and make fun, and hay I was big enough to say in the end "I was sorry" and even erased them, but whats up with no one coming in saying anything about my desktops?.. I mean if your stopping in but not saying anything, but quick to leave comments like "great job" on someone elses that just copy and paste in a picture from off the web with hardly anything added in, but I get nothing for my work and hardship, just seems to me not fair, or there is a click going on here.. These picture are a escape from the pain I have to live with, maybe you should get to know me before you judge me for something stupid. Again, I am sorry, but whats the deal?..

Well I looked at your gallery and it looks like only one of your walls is in the main gallery (this also happens to be the one commented on). Therefore, people probably aren't commenting on your walls becouse they don't see them. The only way they could would be if they were to go to your personal site here on wincustomize. I don't really think there are "clicks" just people who are on wc a lot and like to comment/talk/upload/etc. with each other. Hope this helps! ![]()

To help clarify that a little more....When a wallpaper gets rated at less than 2 1/2 stars, it is only seen on your personal page. That means it is not in the main gallery for everyone to see. I have been sending up a few like that myself lately. It happens. Pat yourself on the back and contact Po Smedly about your personal page elite award. Then keep trying. Short answer: you don't need to be in a "click". Just improve on your work. Like said before...skin for you, and recognition will come.

Have a look at all the skinners in that post that have rejections and some are very well known

RicoSSuave....the only time I've seen you around the forums...is to complain...mostly about people not leaving comments...

It's also puzzling that you keep removing your original post text 
If you want to get to know people better, why not hang around in the forums from time to time....there are enough games going on at the moment to jump in and have some fun..get to know people. I'm sure you can arrange time to combine doing some forum cruising as well as your art.
Also, you do not need to plaster DEMO etc...over your walls...the right click/set to background does not work....and nobody is going to want to printscreen your work to do you out of a download...and it is not presenting your work in the best light.
Another hint....many of your walls have text on them....which never seems to be very popular on walls.
I can't recall seeing you commenting in the galleries, do you comment on others work?....maybe they would notice and check out yours in return, another good way, along with the forums, to get to know people.
Keep at it...it's obviously something you enyoy....your Eye wall that made it to the gallery is very striking.

You said it there yourself. Each one of these walls look as if they are ten minute creations in Photoshop. If you want to create walls that are 'noticed', then you need put in the time and effort required.
You get out what you put in.
Text is never good on wallpapers, it is too distracting. It is also one of the 'red flags' for moderators and is never likely to impress.
Also, if you insist on using text on wallpapers, you may wish to check your spelling before public release ![]()

Nope,no clicks,clacks, clocks or clucks here.Just two types of people,those that can create great work and those,(like myself) who appreciate the work that goes into them.Keep at it and as was stated before,create for yourself,focus on that and you will improve.

Good, critical comments are rare. Mostly you see nicce, but useless "nice job" which doesn't help much for personal growth. Thankfully you see very few flames either.
Here is what i would do; I'd create a post here in the forums with screen shots to what you think are your three best walls and tear tehm apart while asking for members to do the same. "This is what I liked about this wall, this is what I disliked. What do you all think."

Rico . . a few things.
- Breaks in your text make it easier to read and more likely that someone will read and resopnd.
- SydneySiders (and others) are trying to give good help and feedback. Listn more than you speak and you may get what you want.
- Gettting feedback from only "positivve" people may not help you as much as you want.
Good luck going forward.

Maybe hoping no one will recognize it's him and be associated with post after post of complaints and attitude?

It's also a good idea to know the difference between "apart" and "a part (of)" ![]()
And as for that other guy... 'resopnd', 'Listn', 'positivve'... sigh

Just a friendly tip: skin for yourself, not for recognition.
