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!

I have submitted my first wallpapers to the site, I do not know whether they will be approved or not, but it won´t bother me a glitch. Why ? Just because I like the stuff I do, that stuff do really mean something to myself, because I do things for my pleasure, not for the others pleasure and I submitted them to the site, just to participate. Ok if people like them, I 'll be happy, if not, what can I do ? Shot myself ? Being a amateur/semipro photographer for more than 30 years , ( no digital aids at that time, only the good and old darkroom where I used to spend more than 24 hours in a row) I do not have anything to proof to anybody, ( won several prizes on European exhibitions and contests which prooved to me that I was capable to do nice stuff, that was appreciated by others at that time ) so today ,I have only to proof to myself that I am still capable of surprising me.
If my audience like some of my works...that's fine. If not...I won't loose my sleep pattern because of that.

At last, a logical opinion!

I am sorry, but I have to repeat it:

It is not a personal thread!
I didn't open this thread for my self, but for all of you wallpaper authors!

Please read again carefully my first (#1) post.
I said that someone "is giving low rates to all the wallpapers in general".


Don't you know that the most authors, just for a hobby are giving their time and hard work for free?
Don’t you think that at least they deserve some respect or a good word, not bad ratings?

Everybody can see what is good and what is not, they don’t need someone else to tell them.
In the other hand, some authors have friends who rate them high and some don’t, what is the point then for the ratings. I guess you understand what I mean.

I was trying to be a defender and in the end I have been defendant!

I know, that’s life.

Adni, maybe you have a point.Seeing by that perpspective, probably you are right. However, in my perspective, this for me its an hobby in the pure sense of the term but I believe that for others it is not "just" an hobby and that they spend a lot of their time creating and would like to be appreciated for the work they do. Who does not ?

If, and I repeat, "if" the people that rate behave like you said ( friendships and so on ), it is a matter of theirs peace of mind or not.


And again and truly appreciating what you said, what can we do ? Go away ?

I'll keep it for fun and to keep the everyday stress away

Peace.

Okay, I'm a 43 year old man and this kind of slanderous behavior is just so boring and makes for a very unpleasant online experience. There was a bumper sticker I'd see almost every morning on my way to work and it said: MEAN PEOPLE SUCK! [B]I miss seeing that bumper sticker, but actually ever since I moved down to Florida from Boston, I haven't seen but maybe a handful of them during the past 10 years that I've been here, and you'd think that living in Saint Petersburg there'd be plenty of them with all the white supremists here. Oh well. I think that that bumper sticker is very appropriate for that "jerk" for bashing you. I think, no; I KNOW you are probably one of the best artist's here on WinCustomize and Stardock and the competition is fierce. You my friend and superb and Puleese, whatever you do, don't stop creating your art!!!

Thanks for pleasing my eyes and making my desktop a whole lot nicer to look at.

Guys, why have ratings at all??? Just comments for any errors found would be sufficient


this is what I mean, 1 estrella no te hace mal artista y 5 estrellas no te hace buen artista.

Just one small question....Does adni18 have any Personal Page Elite awards? I doubt it, since I am a huge adni fan. I must agree that since he is a Master, so what if everyone's not a fan? He did a lot of great stuff to get where he is. I doubt that he has ANYTHING that is only visible on his Personal Page only.

i am one of those that seldom speak up and a newby. However I wondered why the people like me who buy products from stardock cannot vote on the dreams? Many times I would like to vote and give a star to encourage an author. After all we are the general public, not experts its true, but we know what we like. Please give us a chance to voice and rate the authors also.
