Ratings question
Wednesday, October 9, 2002 by Delicious | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
When a skin is rated, what does that mean? Seems the lower the rating I have on a skin I make the more downloads there are. Does the monitor take into consideration what the feel of the majority wants or what suits Wincustomize more? I have seen some top download skins that honestly made me go hmmm. The menus were unreadable and some even had default blue icons. I am not trying to cut up anyone's work but just wondering profusely on these points and thought I would take them to the ppl to see what the answers are.

That makes sense. However, Explain this, I uploaded a skin and it was rated 2. I subsequently removed the skin, renamed it, changed the wallpaper and re-uploaded. The rating was changed to a 5. The point being the skin stayed the same and the rating changed because of the wallpaper which most skins don't have. Makes a person wonder.

A lot of people probably rate based on the screenshot before they ever even try the skin. Another possibility is that someone who really liked it didn't see it the first time it was uploaded.

Also, another factor is that the "downloader" crowd is much different. It's a broader crowd that may not have the same tastes as the more people who rate. The latter are mostly artists and skinners themselves so they can be much more critical.
