Master Sniper
Friday, August 14, 2009 by Thuglifejunior | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Hiya all you folk in WC Land and beyond ....a bit of Buzz Lightyear coming out in me there........just a quick question.......somebody on one of my screenshots brought up a thought, a Master Sniper.....now I know some of you think that we are not really useful, I disagree but then that is a different matter althogether...the question is, if someone as passionate as i am, and I know of a few others like me, quite a few, there is really no further rank than apprentice that we can go to, maybe after 10 years, we hit a lucky break and hit Master Apprentice....I don't know, I haven't been here long enough, but what is the furthest a sniper has gone.....I put a lot into my work, I'm just as passionate as the next bloke about this place, maybe even more so, cos it kinda saved my life in a way, but I would love the Honor of achieving Master Sniper in my lifetime, and yes all the bragging rights and prestige that goes with it......no I don't skin, but I have one in the works, but I would love to make it as a valuable, contributing member of the community as a Sniper......all I am asking, straight out, is this ever going to be attainable, if not it is not going to be earth shattering news, well a bit , but all I would like is a straight answer...is is possible...yes or No......thanks everyone, much love and much respect....the Thug

would be cool if it was a multi level system though......Rifleman, Marksman, Sniper, Master Sniper.
then I'm guessing there should also be a 'PPE' equivalent?... like 'snot slinger award'?

My 2 cents (but it may go against the grain)..
I don't think ID was referring to a separate class just for screen shooting...
If that were done, you'd have people clamoring, petitioning, bitching and moaning for a separate class for their 'field of expertise' - those that only do bootskins or only walls, or only individual icons, etc, etc etc, would want a separate class
I think we should have a separate class for forum whores like me and since I'm a Troll - I need a separate subclass
Being a Troll, I have a natural tendency to bait people - though I've worked hard at not baiting too much here, since I like this place and the people (and frogboy came close to threatening me with 'hash marking' some years back) - if we have separate classes then we need one for trolls and baiting... that way I can attain my own personal goal of "Master Baiter"
I get the feeling the separate class referred to is a class for those of us they feel who contribute and should be promoted, but not a 'skinners' per se
While I appreciate the promotions I have received, I was not comfortable with came with them - technically I could create crap for any gallery, submit it and it would bypass moderation - (if I every figure out how to make anything on my own I want it thoroughly moderated) - yet I only have one item in my gallery - and it really belongs to DaRkFuSsioOn (KkoNne) - I only collaborated - my promotions came from trying to help out in the forums and the old news groups
I guess what I'm trying to say is:
one the one hand - - there should be a separate ranking for us nonskinners and since skinners are the ones that create what we use, they are the only ones who should attain a rank of Master
on the other hand - - asking for a specific separate class for something such as 'screen shots' is kinda like skinners complaining about moderation/ratings/downloads - it's just asking on a different track
think about it

This is I.D.'s intent, as I read his response. I also agree with that approach...very logical and correct in it's underlying guiding pricnciple.

like careful placement to keep a wall from being extracted from the shot
Anyone sniping would soon know about this as any such shot is rejected by the mods except for the ones in which the background is your own creation eg. Summer Morning

Sorry Curtis 
didn't mean to laugh, it's just that after reading it, I realized, that must be why some of My shots have an unusually high number of downloads.
