Thursday, May 22, 2003 by Angel_Wings | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
My skin should have been in the top downloads. RIGHT?
Defcon is above me even though I had more downloads and came in later yesterday! I'm not even in the showing on Top Downloads and yet I made Top authors with only a 2nd skin? BOOOOOOOO!
Geez. C'mon.
I'm gonna go to bed and have a good cry.
Girl skinners get no respect. hmph!

All she is saying is fair is fair and I agree 100% with her.
If her skin had more downloads why is Defcon placed above her?
Please none of the Blah...Blah...Blah responses.
Just a simple answer would be nice

A formula that comes up with the wrong sum?
Could you link me to the so called Formula please?

For the love of.....
We have been over and over the new system of download counts and how top authors are calculated. Please read those posts again.
Defcon received 25 more counted votes than Shmoopy did. There is no conspiracy involved.

Schmoopy, don't make me get the can of whoop ass out okay?
Remember the whole top author/skin discussions we've been having for the past month? They're not biased against anyone, they are designed to provide a more fair system as a whole. If you click on the top skins area and go to the rankings page, you'll find your skin ranked by the raw downloads.
But on the home page, it's not purely raw downloads, it's based on downloads by users with a specific criteria. Odds are in your case it was very close. But the system prevents tampering (inadvertent or intentional).

It seems no one is paying attention.
I am perfectly clear on the Top Author Rating.
We are not talking about TOP AUTHORS.
We are refering to TOP DOWNLOADS.
Please, Please...just a simple answer as to why "Lullaby", which received more downloads than "Defcon", was not placed in the top downloads section rather that "Defcon"?

Since the new rating sytem came in, my name hasn't even been in the top authors list, whereas before I was near the top for a long time. My latest WB skin didn't even get my name in the top authors, never mind in the top downloads. But I am not complaining about it, I believe the new system is fairer to all. Please make sure you understand how the system works before screaming about how you are being cheated out of a place near the top.
Incidentally, I still get around 2000 downloads per day, but can't get 200 WinCustomize downloads to put me on the board. That's just the way it is now. Fairer.

Hmmm I wonder just who is paying attention here?

Maybe the stats that all this is being based on should be available as well as the raw stats so there won't be any hard feelings by anyone.
