JourneyMan Blues 2
Saturday, October 6, 2001 by BoXXi | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I have mentioned this many times, but, my wallpapers STILL don't appear in the "Newest Additions" section. Anything else that I upload appears in there, but never my walls. Could one of you kind admins check it out again? it seems to happen to people with JourneyMan status.
BoXXi feels victimised!

Boxxi,
The reason is probably filtering. WinCustomize is intended to be a Skinning site, but unfortunately we tend to get more wallpaper submissions over skins themselves. Because of this, the newest sections box was becoming overrun by wallpapers. So we have a filter on their to only show wallpapers that are rated higher than 5 (I believe that is the number).
That is probably why your wallpaper did not show up in the newest additions.

If it is the 'Bottomless' wall....the problem is probably that when you can upload without being checked by admin an automatic '5' rating is applied....[you cannot rate your own work afterall], so until someone else pops a rating on it it may not show up. In the case of this wall it obviously has had another rating...

hmmm... that's a bit silly, considering that it now has a rating of 10, but is, I assume, too late to be a new addition. (either that, or it IS a bug). How about, seeing as we trust journeymen to upload work of a significantly high standard, their default rating is 6 or 7, rather than 5.

fearoffours,
You are right, it's a good thought.
T-Man,
BoXXi's wallpaper rate was by default 5 (Journeyman), what do you mean by "higher than 5"? do you mean that Journeyman's wallpapers will never show up?
Jafo,
In theory it is like that, but in reality it is not! I have put the rate [10] to BoXXi's wallpaper after 5 minutes from the time his wallpaper was in the "Wallpapers by Date" and no other wallpaper has been added for at least 24 hours! Also, no other new addition was in the "Newest Additions" table, for the same period of time. What do you think about it?

FOF has a good point....[maybe some of mine will get past '5'....no-one has rated some of them]...
Adni... it's just as likely the lack of new walls showing up after moderation in that last 24 hours was because no walls made it past moderation at all...

You lot just don't love me anymore! *Pout*.
You just want me to have a horrible life! *sob*
I told you I hated that stupid rating system! *wail*.
O.K., tantrum over.
But will something be done about it, because there's no point in me upping walls if I can't compete on a level playing field? And if all the journeymen stop uploading walls, you'll be left with 10,000 XP walls!
(Just think about that for a moment)

Ok BoXXi. You have made a good point. I will change the auto rating for JourneyMan to be 6 instead of 5.
When I first put this in I had tried a rating of 7, thinking the same as you, that as Journeyman we should expect high quality. But after a bit of time I felt that it was too high and decided to just go the middle of the road to be on the safe side. But now that I have seen it both ways it appears that a rating of 6 will probably work the best.

Ah, the Janitor saves the day once more...
It's surprising what the threat of a flood of XP walls can do....

Well I am glad to hear that T-Man! 
What is happening with you guys and the XP stuff?
The 90% of the people like the OS related things, don't forget that the skins are for the OSes and they need wallpapers too. If the authors in WinCustomize don't make good XP wallpapers who else will do? Think about it.

Adni....the problem is that generally people will draw a bad wall, panic, and simply chuck an 'XP' logo on it and hey-presto, instant mega-downloads.
Very few XP walls are actually any good artistically and/or technically....

Bill...I'm afraid I just look at works of the quality/style of Nuvem, BoXXi, Buzz-Hog, Mobius, Transmutate......those sort of walls.....then I look at the one in your link.....and I can't help seeing the difference...

Paul, This is one of Boxxi's, right off this site. I just don't like trashing a style because it's not "cool". It might be overdone right now but XP is the big thing of the moment. The top downloads section is full of it.

It must be something with the scripts and the wallpapers section.
By the way how you can sent white colored text ?
