What happened to skin Moderation Lately???

Sunday, July 20, 2003 by jarget | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Listen I can't skin worth a Sh--. But sheesh. Over the last few weeks I've had to rub my eyes and clean my glasses when checking out some of the new admissions here at Wincustomize. And what's up with all these wallpapers being posted here of all these glob, drippy, distorted, mucous, exploding, gumby shaped thingies. These are so overdone. And Wincustomize says "The finest collection of Wallpapers on the Internet!", I don't think so. One only has to go to >>>>> http://www.digitalblasphemy.com/ for that. Now before you all go getting your geco panties in a wad let it be known that I've been visiting Wincustomize since the beginning, I've purchased WinFX, WB, OB, many of the skin suites if not all and I was a Object Desktop subscriber since last year(plan on renewing next month). My intent is not to insult any of the skinners or Wincustomize. I just like great skins, walls etc. And for those who are going to tell me to leave... Uh Huh I'm gonna stay. I never said I didn't like it here, I just think things have gotten away from Wincustomize's original Sprirt. And for those of you who are gonna say what do you want for free. Sure I've downloaded skins for free, but I believe I've purchased every skin suite from Stardock/Wincustomize also from Pixtudio so I'm not a freeloader. Let's just watch the uploads people.
RANTING Done.

I am still slightly amuzed that people think they will be treated better on other sites showing this sort of attitude. (Like shouting 'Conspiracy!' with every event that doesn't please them and so on...) I really would suggest to read much of other messageboards/forums first before complaining here... I've seen things... Oh and struggling with the admins is even more dangerous on other sites, which are really elitist... (Won't name them, but 2 posts and getting thrown out after disagreeing with an admin that was stating lies that could be proven very easily was a new thing for me...)

MadIce ... Too bad. Maybe someday the flaming posts won't be the order of the day.

In every large community site you will have flaming posts. Including DA, DM, AU, SB, etc. For a site with 700K+ (what's the actual number lately?) registered users, I think WC is doing fine. Considering that large number one would assume that there should be a lot more lunatics spamming the board. It looks like the number is relatively low. Probably because the avarage age tend to be a bit higher and people are a bit more mature.

Lately a small group with loud voices is leaving. Maybe we have some more rumbles in the next couple of days, but finally they will forget WC. Afterall, why visit a site that one hates?

I do not see what everyone is fighting about. I have been treaded VERY GOOD AND FAIRLY since I have been here. The admins could have exiled me long ago before I strightned up but gave me another chance. All I care about is being able to come here everyday. it is a privledge for me. So i do not see why people are flameing the admins. Everyone needs to take a step back from their computers and think about things for awhile. I love this place.

Kona decides he has said enough!
