Wallpaper Moderators?
Friday, May 9, 2003 by Zodiaq~ | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I should probably just keep my mouth shut but I just can't any longer, now please don't anyone get defensive and pounce on me but all one has to do is look at the first few pages of submissions to realize that the quality of walls(with the exception of a few) is seriously going down hill. How is some of this stuff getting through moderation?
I don't claim to be an artist or anything, in fact I am pure amateur, but some of those...mmmm....I just don't get it.
I think there are many of you that would agree with me on this, the number of downloads on some of them speak loud and clear as to what most wincustomizer's are thinking.
Please don't be angry at me guys, this is just an observation over the last week or so, which has made me think there is new blood moderating the walls.

If they accepted a wall then they did for a reason, they do very well in sifting through the piles they get and i don't think questioning their judgement is making anything easier for them.
Give them a break.

Why dont we get a couple more moderators to help out the others? That way it would be less work for everyone.

This is going to sound very unlike me, but....frankly, I'm getting really sick of the whining about the wallpaper library.
People whine because their stuff isn't accepted. They whine because all the walls look the same. They whine because they think there is junk in the library. They whine because they think that the moderation is too strict. They whine because they think that the moderation is too tight.
It's "damned if you do, damned if you don't".
If you don't like stuff in the library, don't download it.

Complaining/commenting on a drop in standards of recent wall approvals IS 'insulting' those whose works have been accepted recently....
The problem is that when viewing works as a whole you eventually see a shift in styles and usually an improvement in an established author's works.
GA...feel free to [privately] list for me the works considered below par accepted of late, and I'll respond with a list of established authors' earlier works which would be moderated now, in light of their subsequent improvement in later works, including some of yours.
KarmaGirl is right...we're damned if we do and damned if we don't.
We are either too restrictive [bastards rejected my wall] or now too liberal...[bastards let anything in].
Make up your mind, please!
I thought I'd covered things in my first posts here...

GA...it is one thing to comment that you don't like a particular wall...quite another to infer that either there is a new moderator or moderation standards are slipping.
One is a comment on an artwork, the other is a criticism of the admins' efforts.
Can you see the distinction?...
Again, 'you' is a general term, and not directed at a specific individual, OK?...

If you moderated it, is that an insult too?
We can't be perfect, if other people were moderators, other walls would be accepted. There is nothing wrong in my opinion to give some criticism based on knowledge. There is nothing wrong with not applying a suggested correction. There is something wrong though if you know there can be improvement and you do not apply it or try it in your next work. Regardless what kind of work.
