Newbies and the puke icon
Wednesday, January 1, 2003 by WOM | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
It seems that some newbies think it's cool to put the puke sign while commenting on artists work. This seems like a lack of class. If you don't like a certain work then move on or politely say so without the puke icon. If you think you can create something better, do so. Remember, these people spend hours and days doing this for free. So show some class.

Someone give me a "kick" button and I'll stop complaining about emoticons.
Now emoticons are a sad excuse for those that lack the linguistic skill to string words together into meaningfull sentences. Context alone should suffice to determine whether or not someone is pulling your leg.
And, no, I can't be persuaded with a windmill icon.

I am sorry to say once again, if you can't put up with those negative comments stop submitting. I have collected a few and have you ever heard me complaining I got them? I think if you like to point out immatureness to the ones who use that icon, you also are able to decide for yourself whether the criticism is constructive or not. It's a fact of life that not all your works will be appreciated, and if you only want nice icons and nice comments well....I'd say build a stronger skin...And maybe replace a puking icon by a cross-eyed looking icon or something.

Lecrayon, constructive criticism is good, but a string of pukeing icons tells you nothing. This seems a little strange comming from you. Are not you the one who gets upset over low ratings? It seems that they can be considered the same. Low rating means the same as a puke icon, they didn't like it!

I'm a bit confused about this. It is deemed inapropriate to make drastically negative comments about a persons skin, so much so that one can be exiled for doing so. Yet using the puke icon is OK? Sorry, seems contradictory to me.

The premise that if you cannot stand puerile criticism then don't upload cos it's a fact of life/comes with the territory is a facile argument, akin to 'don't complain about dying from cancer...it's a fact of life and comes with the territory'.
People have been removed from interacting with this site purely due to the qualities [or lack of] shown in their skin commenting.
"THIS SUXORS DONKEY DICK
" is a bit different to "I tried it, but I didn't like it... "
Both make use of the Icon...but context is what it's all about. The first one gets deleted...the latter remains.
With a population of skinners/wall artists of varying 'age and experience' and from many different social backgrounds, one must realize that what doesn't 'bother' you may really upset someone less thick-skinned. It's only reasonable to expect some form of cossetting or protection be put in place for those who might otherwise be dissuaded from continuing to enjoy the site.
I've been around skinning long enough to have collected 'quality' derisive comments so I'm rarely 'miffed' by any I get these days, but I can see how they can and do affect others, particularly 'sex-related' ones where the skinner is a woman...[call me old fashioned but that's just 'not on']...

I really don't understand this at all. I can get a puke icon on every one of my skin comments and it doesn't personally bother me (and I am a woman). The whole point trying to be made here, at least to my understanding, is that this is supposed to be a very large and respected website, hence, there really is no place for an icon like this to even be offered to encourage people that need to express their point with it instead of "verbalizing" their opinion.
Point:
"THIS SUXORS DONKEY DICK "
"I tried it, but I didn't like it... "
They both get the point across completely without the icon. The icon does not add anything significant to either comment.

A better comment would be:
"I tried it but didn't like it because..."
A skinner likes to know what people don't like about a skin rather than they just don't like it. Either a non explanatory comment or puke icon is of no help.

~Signs to get rid of it~
You know, looking at that icon while putting in a comment sortof disturbs me. I'm not one of these that have weak stomachs or what not.. I eat while watching really nasty movies that most people couldn't stand eatting or watching or even just watching. There is just something with that icon that doesn't go well with everything. I wonder what the person was thinking when they designed it.
Hell, even a middle finger icon would be better!

Change the icon to something less annoying. WOM, I am only annoyed when a low rating isn't fair in my opinion. People compare, it's how it is. I am not annoyed if someone says he doesn't like it. And then places the only negative icon there is. There is a difference. I am angry when a staff member says something totally untrue of what I have created and then smacks it because he is in power to do so. I still am > at him. I happen to like starones skins WOM, they are a change for the better and I like the effort to make a whole suit. But I don't understand the need of this thread just because of an icon. 9 good comments out of 10 is a great list I'd say.
