Suggestion: Turn rating filters back on for unregs.

Tuesday, September 4, 2001 by charmed | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I was messing around with this site from my dad's comp on a phone line. I was looking through the wallpapers and WinApm section and had to wade through a ton of crap as an unregistered user (not as bad with WinAmp, actually).

When I set the rating filter on my account to something like 8, this site is REAL SHORT and REAL SWEET. It's great - the users rating this stuff know their s**t. It's 100% professional all the way. This is what the uninitiated should see.

At least do this for the walls.

Yes, you'll p**s of some of the 5- minute Bryce wallpaper makers (and a lot of my stuff will dissappear too), but the results will be that the site will look MUCH better to unregistered users and bandwith usage may decrease too.

Sorry if I'm rehashing an old topic, but you have a simple and efficient means of impressing new users and potential customers.

Use it.

Good to see that the effect of ratings actually bears fruit...

I [almost] totally agree with charmed. A sibbling of mine went on the site on her comp, and loved it. When she came back to it (this time on my comp logged in with rating set to "1") she thought she'd gone to a different site because there wes such junk she had to go through to get to a decent wallpaper. I think, however, "8" is a little too high... how about 6 or 7?

As for the fruit, I'm not sure
