Please, do something about it!
Monday, April 28, 2003 by adni18 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Some full of complex person, is giving low rates to all the wallpapers in general.
What kind of person is this???
Why we give to this kind of persons the authority to think that they are Gods?
I am sure that those persons are not able to draw not even a line!
This behavior is sending away all the authors from WinCustomize!
Is this what they want to do? Send away the authors from WinCustomize?
Someone has to do something about it!
We can't allow any John or Jane to have opinion about the work of Picasso; of course, they can have their opinion, but in this case counts much, because only those people are giving the 90% of the rates!!!
I know there is not any Picasso among us, but there are many John and Jane's, if you know what I mean...
Please do something about it, before it will be too late!

Hi sagire,
I will think about it, after all this warm support I am having in this thread
It wasn't a personal thread, I wrote it thinking about all the authors, but now it is!

Let me just say like others have said: 9's and 10's should be exceptionnal. A lot of skins are way overrated.
Personnaly, I rarely rate anything higher than 8 and rarely anthing lower than 4. The rating I tend to give te most is 6. Probably 80% of the ratings I give are 6's. When it's good, I give 7 or 8 and when it's not so good, I give 4 or 5.

My ratings are right in line with Paxx's. I hardly *ever* rate anything over an 8 or below a 4. There are very few uploads that deserve anything higher or lower than that.

three ways of working out an average"...hmmm...seems that maths has advanced since I stopped studying it in the early seventies...back then there was only one way...
-----
Lets see there is Mean, median, and mode.
Mean: The sum of a list of numbers, divided by the total number of numbers in the list.
Median:"Middle value" of a list. The smallest number such that at least half the numbers in the list are no greater than it. If the list has an odd number of entries, the median is the middle entry in the list after sorting the list into increasing order. If the list has an even number of entries, the median is equal to the sum of the two middle (after sorting) numbers divided by two.
Mode: The most commonly accuring number in the list. I.E. 1 1 1 99 98 97 86 45 32 Mode = 1

I do understand Adni. Post 103
I have re-read your original post, and though it took me a few tries to see it in the light it was written in, I have come to believe that many mis-understood it, but voiced their opinions anyway, and those who followed failed to read what you wrote. Because I could not initially grasp what you were trying to say, I held off from saying anything.
Now the damage is done, but I hope you will stay anyway.
I find your work carries a certain "innocence" that I am keenly perceptive to, and also it has a "freshness of expression" I like.
Personally, I care less about ratings however necessary they may be to WC.
And I can appreciate your sharing your work with us.
Perhaps what has set some people off is the "amount" of submissions, but I am not at all bothered by them as I can choose what I will that pleases me to download.
Hopefully, you will stay with us, and hopefully we can move beyond this thread. There is too much volitility pouring onto the msg board which I believe is related to the War and all the uncertainty and divisions that comes with it.
Keeping this in mind, I for one must reach further down inside myself to learn a new level of tolerance for our WC family and friends, who are representations of our world at large and are due my utmost sincerety and respect.

^^Gabriel...that's not mathematics, that's statistics...a bastard son of mathematics...
Remember...
There are lies, damn lies, and statistics...
average [AMOUNT] n. the result obtained by adding two or more amounts together and dividing the total by the number of amounts.

I could care less what you rate my artwork. I made it, I like it, it made it with the moderators, that's all that counts. I prefer comments anyways.

I very often will give a ten rating (and a comment) to skins that I feel are better than the rating that is
listed for them. This is to help them come up to the level that I feel they deserve.
I rarely if ever rate or comment on anything that I don't like.

In the end Adni is labelled a Master, jeez i'd give anything to move up, now because he is not a Citizen puts this thread in a different light, if you reach that status do you really have anything to 'moan' about?

Hei Adni, do not bother too much about it. Each author knows what his/her value is and it is not some "enlightened" people that goes to take that conviction down.
Offcourse some works sometimes are better than others, but putting the things as I use to put, " nothing is better or worse, everything is different ".
It depends upon the perspective, right ?

I've seen where several people have commented about 'seeing' the rating a skin has. I don't recall seeing any ratings except on my own skins. Where/How do you see the ratings on other peoples skins?
