Default 6 Ratings
Tuesday, February 18, 2003 by citats | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I have read in the past that if a skin is not actually rated. It receives a 6 rating...
Is this so?
and if so, is it possible to just leave the skin as unrated instead of the default 6. Or would that mess with the way downloads are controlled? I know that unregistered users can only download an 8 or higher.
Although some users don't care about the ratings and say they are over rated...
Many users, use these ratings to help them find skins that are perceived as a notch above. 
what do you think?

Ratings mean nothing to me. As long as the comments are genuine, that's good enough for me

I agree with jake11, at first when I started submitting walls I would get a 6 and or a 5 and think that my walls were really weak. I then thought about it and really the rating isn't that important to me. I actually have quite a few walls that are average to subaverage but my approach is that I have a site that I can share with others an enjoyment for desktop/computer enhancement and even if one person D/L's a wall I made, I get gratification. The comments are great becasue it allows me to see what people think about what I made. I've got comments for a wall that say it's great and another that say it's sucks but I like that because you will never appeal to everyone....unless your Nikos. My point is that the rating is just a rating good or bad, it's about how you take it.

Yeah, that Nikos, I am about to pack my bags and head over to his house and see just how in the world he is making all that cool stuff so fast. I am almost suspecting he has a whole contingent of slave labor in his attic grinding out work for him.
I'm almost there adni18, now where did you say you lived?

It's funny because I've seen his profile and he lives in Greece (right?) and all I can think about is that his home looks like the Parthenon or something and he probably has an ocean view and a boat he uses to go out and catch fresh fish or something. What a life

Yeah, probably has a real cool villa on a mountainside overlooking the Ocean, and after getting a case of computer eyes, probably steps out on the patio, jumps out and dives 300 feet into the water without makin' a splash.

Then he glides up to the surface from 60 feet below with two giant starfish in his hands and hollers out saying, "WOW. this gives me an idea for another wallpaper!"

Effortlessly climbing his way back up to the patio, he faces the Ocean and the Sun, takes a deep breath and says; WHOA, that was brisk baby!

JAKE!
LMAO
You've got a whole story written for Nikos already...I can just picture it. *Lights, camera, ACTshun*
You're good
Does he meet a fairy princess trapped in a tower at the end?

I don't know why, but I was actuallty thinking about writing a short story along these lines. But then I thought maybe adni18 might not appreciate it being thrust into the spotlight like that.
I'll hold the thought though just in case as I seem to be able to "see" this "scene" so clearly.

Well maybe you can make it about a another person.....Adni19....so that way Nikos won't know it's about him.

Yes, I see how that might work GA, although the story I have in mind must take place in Greece, and include bright Sun, Ocean, Warm open portico's, and computers, artistry, ect. Oh yeah and of course our friend, though he wouldn't know, per se.

On second thought, I think I'll scrap the whole idea. It suddenly seems in poor taste, and besides I like adni's comments on my work. They seem to be truly genuine. I already know how he produces so much quality work so fast, he does it by not wasting time on this board.
