Wincustomize.com needs moderation. Seriously.
Monday, August 4, 2003 by mattboy | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Why, oh why did this awesome site drop the moderation filter for uploads? The "finest selection of wallpapers on the net" has become the "10% finest, 90% garbagest selection on the net". I used to come here for my walls because I knew I would find only the best of the best. Now it's just rehashed,cliched, junk. Bring back the moderation. For the sake of the site.

You need to get a life. If you don't like the wall papers DON'T click wallpapers. It's as simple as that. And as Frogie said they only put in 25% of them in. So Blah Blah Blah you you. I don't normally go off at people like that but you just frustrate me. You try and make a website that get's over 1,000,000 people a month. I will go on your side when I see that.

bliss... you don't have any clue what it's like to have a piece of work you spent days or weeks working on pushed deep into the site by 20 walls that took 15 minutes to create.

Rich but when your work is good it stands out so does not matter if it gets pushed down...
the serious art/skinning ppl will find it, such as your DX objects (love that flying bug!) hehe
Thank you...

Yes Doreen but how many "serious" skinning people use this site as opposed to the majority which just come here looking for new and interesting things.

I really have no problems with moderation. I think it is a good idea. The only concern I have is when your work is good enough to get through the moderation it still does not show to the general public unless it is "rated" higher than a 6 (wallpapers). Members can filter their views if they don't want to see lower rated works. I believe that often the "rating" has more to do with if the rater likes the person behind the work instead of the work itself. I'm not bashing the rating system. Honestly, ratings don't really bother me. I get more out of comments. 
I'm not trying to get off topic. I just wanted to say my bit.

I'm still a little suprised that what they are letting in is only the top 25%From the looks of it the rest must be REALLY bad.The admins little critique lobe of their brains must be shrivelled up and numb by now.If you want to be cruel to your favorite moderator,ask them to look and see why your wallpaper was rejected.DavidK went back thru and looked at the last 1000 walls trying to find out something for me and I havnt seen him around much lately.I think I broke him.

I agree with Cross,thats what i've been saying all along.Rating determining visibility to the public has been the hardest for me to accept.You can take 2 equally talented artist but due to the problems inherent in the current system,one may show and one may not.One gets dl'd ,One does not.Getting a bad rate dosnt bother me that much,not showing to the public does.I have a WB with a 5 rating (right on the bubble)but its download count is on par with 8's and some 9's.Were someone to slam it again it would shrivel up and die.

I never had the time or patience to look through the wallpapers completelt but I would guess there are some good one there. Albeit I get my walls at digitalblasphemy I bet some of them here would be good as well. I do fell sorry for the admins. This must be hell on them.

I agree that uploading a WB, Icons, Cursor etc...Is scary business right now. Days and days and weeks of work just to see it pushed out of the top 50 'Newest Additions' within the first day or two.
Doesn't really matter how 'Good' it is, it's going deep into the site and the majority of users just don't dig that far
I have a Wallpaper I've spent the last 3 or 4 days on...I'm not going to even bother upping it until this blows over. I have also been working on a new mini suite...same goes...I've been working veeery slowly on it until this is resolved.
bliss980...This site reached those kind of numbers for a reason...'High Standards' and 'Moderation'...without that, it's just another place to go to get Wallpapers.

Actually...I over exaggerated on the 'Just another place to go for wallpaper'. WC will probably be #1 for quite some time.
I just hate to see all the Skinners hard work pushed back so quickly

Maybe they could split the new additions into separate "New Wallpapers" and "New Skins" sections? Even still moderation would be nice. Maybe the admins could have a "Recommended" button for the walls they deem best (in other words, the walls that would have made it before the moderation got loosened), so you could just search for the recommended walls?
