WARNING: Ranting and Complaining Ahead, Proceed With Caution
Wednesday, February 18, 2004 by macrobaye | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Ok...I normally avoid ranting and complaining as much as possible, but this has gotten out of hand...
SOMEONE has been attacking my most recent submissions with unusually low ratings... Take, for instance, the last three:
https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?library=8&SkinID=15327
https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?library=8&SkinID=15329
https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?library=8&SkinID=15328
Never have I seen ANY skins rated 1's and 2's right off the bat...And not only that... I really don't believe that these walls deserve such low ratings. Now I'm sorry if what I'm doing annoys some of you, but this annoys me even more. So, here's a request:
ADMINS:
Please take a look into this situation, because I really hate when people take grudges against another user and vent off steam by shoving low ratings down their throats...
SKINNERS:
If you like the walls, please comment. If you have the ability to rate, please rate.
Thanks for anyone who can post replys, I need all the feedback about this issue I can get.

Weaksid is looking at these terms used and wonder where he was during English class. I don't remember seeing these anywhere.

OK...so it's derogatory to have your works compared to China's?
Inferences are just that.....inferences.
They can be 'made' to imply anything you 'want' them to, but generally people will take it as an attack when it's just as likely to be totally innocuous...

You smell that? That's a flamewar, son. I love the smell of messageboards in the morning. Smells like... victory.
P.S. n00b13z don't surf!!

I know Brad has said this before but it is worth repeating .... WC is a 'skinning site'.
Walls are ( and this is not verbatim ) 'not a priority ' ....
So if Brad rated your work but passed it for upload you've dodged the first bullet.
If I dislike something I don't bother commenting .... and I tend to avoid doing so even if I do like an upload because too many people get the hump about a positive comment as well as a negative one.
And after all is said and done, opinions are like bottoms .... everyone has one.
This reaction speaks volumes .... don't ask the question if you are not prepared for the answers.
Not everyone will say what you want them to, fishing for compliments is a risky business at best and a bruised ego obscures ones objectivity.>

| All this over a 2 rating. Ratings are over rated, be thankful you got your work accepted. |

| Your comments, China, you have to admit, were very unneeded and provocative |
