Missing Wallpaper (other than Rejection I mean)

Thursday, January 22, 2004 by dune2996 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

When I upload a new wall I get confirmation ...Yep Then I can check my skins...Yep After a few days you either get published or sometimes rejected....and wincustomize lets you know..(thanks win we know this takes up valuable time) but sometimes when I return to the myskins page a wal that I upped hours or days ago has gone, no kind notification from win, just gone.....What happens to it in cyber space ? Is it simply deleted and you are not notified or does it get lost somehow and one should up again...Some please help...Thank you

You only get notified if it gets accepted. There is no rejection notification (the admins were getting abused - including death threats, from what I gather - by unhappy people).

Oh thanks for telling me cause I have not been submitting more walls cause I thought they would get pissed off if I sent too many...Does the same apply for boots and logons cause they stay up forever "waiting to be approved" ?...Thanks..Peff

dune2996: We only get pissed off when people submit work that is not their own. That is a big no-no. If you didn't make it..... don't upload it.

Thank you BoXXi.....I will try harder... One thing puzzels me (I know you need permission) but I don`t have a space ship to travel to Mars ...Yep And I have a wonderful wall which I made from a Nasa "free download image which I spent hours tuning and fiddeling with until I was happy. True the original belongs to the brave spaceship that flew by Mars but the final product of the image was made by me...I understand ...."its not mine"...

"Free Download Image" means free to use on your desktop, that's it. It doesn't give you distribution rights, that would be a breach of the owner/authors copyright. For instance: you can download something of mine, but even if you add to it, or blend it with another image, you still cannot distribute it as your own work because it would contain elements that you didn't make, and would contravene my copyright. Here at Wincustomize, we do everything we can to protect authors copyrights, including yours when you have something that you made on the site.

I hope this helps.

Oh, and between you and me...... using Misery's image as a background on your website is a contravention of his copyright. It's known as ripping, and bad men will come and get you for doing it.
