New submission, need comments before I submit... Take it easy on me please...LOL
Wednesday, September 17, 2003 by naitsirch79 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Ok I have created another wall paper and this is the theme...It is called American Omega, I am sure you can see why. I made this purposely dark because all of the cool things you can use for bright icons and the what not. Like a cool wally for a space theme or something. I am open to suggestions to improve this and make it as best I can... Now I do like it currently and am only looking for a couple critiques to make it better, not change it....Originally the sun was completly black with a blue ora, but I decided to give it some depth and ligthing inside of it...
I hope you like, ,, PS7 Wacom and mouse... this is not the full size...

sometimes i type and when I read it back it not what I meant to say. I know better than to think everyone is against me. I just feel sometimes people pick on me alot more than others. Karmagirl loves to tear my posts apart and prove me wrong.
I just need to watch what i type and how I type I guess. I love this site TO DEATH and all of the products over at Satrdock. You all have opened my computing experinece and I thank you for things like sysmetrix and Litestep and the help you gave me.
I am extremly in debt to yrag for his advice about my job. That has helped my life more than you will EVER know.
In the end it comes down to i just need to humble myself and relize I am not always right nor are my posts. Maybe I do type just for the noise.
Anyways, thanks to all of you even if you dislike me.

| sometimes you say really stupid things, and you never punctuate what you are saying so it sometimes comes off the wrong way and we say "did he just say that? WTF is wrong with him?", but meanwhile in your mind you meant something totally different and we took it the wrong way n then someone comments you about it and you think everyone is against you...right? |

Don't get me wrong, I also believe there could be a place for interacting between those who are extreamly and just starting out including everyone in between those two point.
My point is this;
I am wanting my work posted in the libraries at Wincustomize, for whatever reason it is not happening. So in order to at least get them posted and stored on the site I decide I will upload what I consider is something I would submit as finished work, but I do not submit it. Instead I post it in a thread in the general message board, even if I do take a part in working through what changes would help and attempt to seek help in expanding my skill set. I have in fact gone right past the process of Moderation and my work is now posted and stored at Wincustomize.
That is how the process of moderation is throw out the window. It becomes meaningless and moot to consider any valitidy (moderation) if I am happy with just getting my work on the site.
Again, DeviantArt does not have moderation and fits the needs for aspiring Wall Artists where the policies of WinCustomize would end up being subverted in attempting to provide such a forum.
Unless of course there is a section put together to deal with this model of mentoring, or whatever you wish to call it.
Simply put, it's a loop hole the size of the Grand Canyon if it is allowed to continue with full size Walls being posted in threads.
A Desktop Screen Shot or a Thumb Nail would serve the same purpose as the full size image and it would also be more acceptable because of it, without steping all over the policy of moderation.
I would think that with the last few months of constant bickering and contention over the Wall section and Moderation people would understand that if the Message Board becomes a dumping ground for 1 - 3 or more meg walls and it *really* ends up becoming an issue.
It could very well be the proverbial straw which should not have made it upon the Camels back.
I for one would hate to see that...
anyway...

Your good peoples, heck I haven't seen anyone here I find offensive or that I would consider anything but good people, even when I do not agree with them. After all I own my opinions, thoughts and feelings....

IPlural, I understand what you mean. But....when a wall is rejected people are urged to contact the moderator to improve or get criticism. Is that how this site works? Moderators know it all? No. They decide what gets approved. Lately I have seen so many click on my name threads to show theirs/hers current desktop. It would be a great idea to use this as a what do you think how to improve click thread 
and get some good constructive criticism, rather than the hahahaha you are not good enough response. >
This is a community, well that's what is said here, but then try to be humble towards the newcomers and HELP them. And for "it should be in the skinning discussion page", I am sure people read this thread and will post in the skinning discussion page. Besides, I think it will become more popular if we are able to comment and help people with their work.

IP, I think we are in agreement in thinking a 'place' for interacting, mentoring for works in progress would be a good thing. It would be more of a community. What's a community? A place where people get together to pursue common interests, socialize, and help each other.
I don't particularly think the General Discussion area is the place to post 1-2 meg walls either. For a variety of reasons. One being loading issues for people on dialup. But an area set aside for that type of thing would be good, in my opinion. It's likely that, with this separate section, there would be less of the "hahahaha you are not good enough" responses, as the people going there would be more inclined to help.
One suggestion made, regarding Madice's idea, was to have a time limit on how long works could be up for review/critique. That would help eliminate the "I got my stuff on Wincustomize" problems you are speaking about, since works in that section would there for a limited time only.

Kona, I told you before that I am not picking on you. I disagree with
you. You need to learn what the difference is. I don't agree with
99% of what you say. So, I disagree. You need to grow a thicker skin
if you truly believe that everyone is against you, or you need to step back and
figure out why you feel that way.
| I just need to watch what i type and how I type I guess. I love this site TO DEATH and all of the products over at Satrdock. |
Then, why don't you contribute to the site? You have spoke up many times about the "wrongs" of the site, but all you have done is talk. You have not submitted anything, nor purchased anything. (That is why you are at level 2 and a citizen). (BTW, you misspelled Stardock)

well china i hope that can change. Yrag I no idea why you are mad at me. You have helped me to much so I can't be mad at you.
Guess it comes down to I want to prove myself as a needed and loved WC member that I push myself to hard resulting in utter BS and things that I can not back up. So, I have decided to be more constructive and try not to fit in so hard. I guess i need to huimble myself, and watch what I type.
