Behind the walls...
Saturday, January 31, 2004 by PixelCargo | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
What I dont get... I make a wallpaper , i ask 4 friends if they like it, I upload it and I get no emails. Ive seen other wallpapers not as good but mine does not appear, might there be corruption behind the GO upload walls?
Hmmmm...
To me this place aint what it was to be. Can this be?

Clearly you also don't appreciate or like everything that is hosted here so I guess that means you are dissing others work as well when it doesn't suit your personal taste. Just perhaps a suggestion that your and your friends' estimation of your own work might not be shared by all others, especially when it's competing for space on a site that doesn't host everything submitted.
And emailing the mods or admins is indeed the best way to get information on this sort of thing without any public "misunderstandings."

| Get yourself 4 more honest friends.Ask Bryan [BoXXi] whether I'm 'honest' about his works.......or whether I felate his ego.Suggestions of corruption is an insult. Publicly defame a person's or group's collective character and expect an arse kicking.Grow up or go elsewhere. |

| Yes...I'm sorry I misspelled 'fellate'.... |

Tell me the name of the wall and I'll give you an educated guess of why it was moderated.

Just to clarify some points here:
1. Someone posts here to ask why the wallpaper didn't get through moderation. A fair, if all too common question.
2. Could the reason for this be a technical glitch, a server error etc - let me know. Also, a reasonable request.
3. 15 inflammmatory and personal posts follow, from people who deliberately misunderstands his question.
I've seen a lot of this recently. I don't like mob mentality or personal attacks, so I respond to this.
Now my question is this: in what way am I being "ignorant" or my response being "left handed" about this? If anyone misunderstood this it was you flamers.

Ordos, he did in fact insinuate that there is corruption in the moderation process by even bring up the question... ( sorry, but that is a fact )

I was going to keep out of this one, but I read it the same way Ordos obviously did. I think it was someone suggesting the possibility of a technical fault in slightly garbled English. Sorry... I'll get my coat...

IPlural/Styl Skinner:
How do you read this then? The argument still stands. I reacted to unnessecary personal attacks. C'mon, they didn't even give him a chance... So if that's the norm now, I don't think this is the friendly site it once was.

| AH sorry it was late i didnt mean it like it came out, I dint read that thread.The things that made it look fishy:-they had trouble with the servers-I thought i wasnt geting any emails because I though that the uploads were getting lost or something.-I just never thought of emailing an admin but wouldnt the wallpaper be deleted before comments? |

I really so think that a mob mentality struck this thread. multiple derogatory posts null the point and probably will run pixelcargo away. Also it might be true that in fact he wasn't insinuating admin corruption, and what he wrote wasn't necessarily what he meant. however he has not fully backed up his claims and has made one other derogatory remark and therefore I am sitting on the "admin corrupted" translation of the post, also has anybody actually answered his questions? Again all of these posts saying how bad the guy is are entirely pointless, and almost outright rude. By continuing to harass a person you make this place a lesser place. I am guilty of this on occasion, but we should at least try to stop and be resonable. If somebody has already posted something that is equivalent to the point you want to make and it doesn't need more backing, then don't post. just my opinion.

Well, I hope (for WC's sake) that this doesn't run PixelCargo away. But it certainly ran me away...

When I first saw the post on this, I too thought the poster was dissing the moderators.
After Ordos pointed out his view, I think I would have to agree with him. I think English must not be the poster's first language, and the corruption he was referring to was not in the moderation, but instead was referring to what he thought could be corruption due to the recent server problems.
This is just my opinion, and could be totally off-base.
