Sheesh!

Now I know why Madcat21 left the site if this is the kind of rhetoric a so called Madcatfan was providing.  Listen, if you want to say something about the skin, then do so please, otherwise STFU. I don't get PO'd often, but this is getting f'ing ridiculous!

Master Skins are at the discretion of the designer and approved or disapproved by WC Moderator's. I have even had a skin denied in the past, and I do not submit anywhere near 20 skins a month, never have, so get real will you! Damn, you are a real horses rear end!

Nuff said.... back to work here (and I hope this is then end of this BS). Thanks for the support by the true members of WC.

And you should know why there are few skins in my gallery Jim. You are partly the reason with your claim to ownership of shape and color.

How far off topic will you lead us then?

Always one or two haters in the crowd... usually someone making up for their own deficiencies or their Mom won't let them out of the basement.

Tom has earned his Master status, in fact, was well overdue IMO.

That's all you need to know. If you don't like it.. you could just bugger off elsewhere now that you have stated your opinion.

Standard free market dynamics apply.

Don't like... don't buy. Move on.

Perhaps u can run on down to Wendy's and complain about the shape of the beef patties.

Not a hater, maybe a complainer...yes.

Tom is a great skinner. Not saying in any way he himself has not mastered the craft. And you Vstyler have set the bar on what a master skin actually is (IMO) and have set it pretty high. But I see Tom cranking them out, and I have purchased  a few and have been disappointed. I am not a big enough complainer to demand my money back or trash any one skin....but....since Tom has great potential, and seems to be finding his way to the WIZARD level to make true MASTER skins. Not just be a master skinner.

Just sayin pumping out skin after skin aint bad, charging money for you work aint bad, but pumping out skin after skin, charging for them, and calling them master skins...when they aint......is getting sickening.

You can think me a hater, a complainer or what ever.....truth is I am a dissatisfied customer who thinks the value of my hard earned money, is getting cheapened by perhaps....greed.

A Master Skin is one produced by a Master. That isn't a rank dispensed by lottery.

It takes years of practice and quality...skinning more than one OS.

To quote:

"Masters are the true elders of the community.  People who have been around for ages.  To be a Master, not only must the user be a significant contributor to the community, but be a key figure in the ongoing health and growth of the community.  A Master must think of WinCustomize as their primary home in the skinning world.  Masters, in addition to being able to bypass moderation, can also sell their skins directly to users through WinCustomize."

However, Master Skins are Moderated by Island Dog, who is the Chief Admin for this site.

Who decides on the promotions? The Moderators and Admins...many of whom are skinners as well.

Three Masters have responded to your comments and insults. Lightstar isn't greedy. It was explained that taste in skins is a matter of just that. Taste. You have yours; others, theirs. Tom's skins are technically perfect or they would not be Master Skins.

Now, if you have no specific and constructive criticism to offer, I'd suggest you move on.

I find that very offensive, so please DO NOT buy any more of my skins whoever you are. To insinuate that my motive is greed is unbelievable. I am a 100% Disabled Veteran on a fixed income, so any money I make goes to support myself and my son. I cannot work a normal job, so please go away will you.

At your request and by the submission that you are infact cranking them out solely for the profit.....good luck with the sales.

Maybe you are as ungrateful as I am unsatisfied?

You are one sick person. I don't crank out skins, I spend 12 hours a day designing them, usually 7 days a week. If you consider that cranking out skins, then I feel very sorry for you. Goodbye.

Don't take it personally then if you are just a vendor who sells a product at a store I patronize. You work for your money how you see fit and I'll spend the money I work for how I see fit. I'll just know the products you produce might be mis-labled. And that aint a problem for me in the long run since all the cards are on the table now....but it hurt you already. You even pushed away a repeat customer, Goodbye.

Best of luck

OMFG

I thought I used foul language at times...

-Lay off the Meth "Fanboy"

Ford made both 'Edsels' and 'Mustangs'.

They were BOTH labelled 'Ford'.

A 'Master' skin is labelled such due to the ranking of its maker.

Now, go away.

Keep your style Tom. Everyone of your skins are usable and all look great. You are a true Master.

puzzling.... you could not have found the skin anything but 100% spot on usable.... and as for the design/colouring... it is plainly shown in the screenshot.. no surprises there..

Just because you did not exercise your own discretion adequately in choosing what you wanted... it is unfair to criticize it publicly unless it was buggy or in some way deficient, which it obviously is not...which is why you can always have confidence in purchasing a Master Skin.

What you pay for a Master Skin, compared to the hours of work that is put into them, is a pittance.... it always amazes me when people complain with such venom.

You should blame yourself for your lack of identifying what you wanted in a blind that was plainly in front of you before you purchased it...

... and how many Tom makes, is his business.

Thanks Syd, very kind of you.

Why would anyone buy a skin if they didn't like it? I bet if it was for free, they wouldn't complain.

I happen to love Tom's skins,and would gladly pay twice for them if I had to. Every skinner has his own style. If you dont like it, dont buy it. Thats my 2 cents.

I'm sure Tom would appreciate that....hehe....

Though I am new here on the forum but also want to express my opinion Tom is an amazing skin and you're doing a great job and a real master and not pay attention to people who do not have their own taste and talent that can only criticize personally I like your creativity and I wish you luck and inspiration for new ideas

Jafo gets to have all the fun.
