....but, yes.. I agree, those kind of comments are just senseless and do no good, for anyone.

I have gotten a few emails and comments from different people supporting me regarding some negative comments I have recieved. I always look for the positive in a situation. I have found that for each Lover of poo there is 5 equally kind people. At this site there is about 500 kind people to 1 nasty *&@%$.
As hard as it is to overlook the bad comments they do get to you in some way,some how. I was prompted to start this thread after viewing some comments that were left on someones skin. I was outraged. I actually thought that I might attract the scum to myself in hopes they may single me out and give others a break. Heck, I got alot for them to pick on. I see now that it was pretty stupid. Admin has kept a good track of the ugliness but in time they will come back. When they do I will try my best not to feed. It is soooo hard though. Soooooo hard, so so hard. Hard hard hard!
Jafos idea sound pretty good. However it makes me feel good to hear someone say they really like a theme I made. Even if it a crappy skin its still good to know someone enjoyed it and you made them happy but for a brief moment. Even if that brief moment was the pleasure they got from giving you a good comment. Aaaah crap, Im starting to not make sense again. I know this when I cant possibly type as fast as my brain.

If the commentary is getting that offensive as to make a respectable skinner remove her skins, then I agree that Jafo's option is the only way to go. Not knowing anything about it, and it isn't my business anyway, I'll make no further comments.Reply #48 Monday, April 26, 2004 8:29 PM

If all your comments are good and one person craps on you and it falls into the rude catagory, then have an admin look at it. If that person just gives you a negative comment, then look to if they are right. If they are not then forget it. Probably didn't like the color or something. Who knows.

. If I didn't have any doubts about my work I wouldn't have been so affected by some comments. Hopefully what I come up with in the future will be worth it.Reply #51 Monday, April 26, 2004 8:55 PM

My previous post was not aimed at her, just the first 2 sentences.
The rest was for everyone.

Melanie.....this is exactly why I have a low tolerance for dickheads who think they have a right to comment irrespective of whether they actually have a brain or even the slightest inkling of what they are looking at.
What is worse, they will embark on a journey that sees themselves trying to be even more creative with the next 'put down' than they were with the previous....and then enlist a following of arse-licking yes-men followers to illuminate their genius.
Eventually, through one artifice or another the admins are made aware of the miscreants in our midst and steps are taken.
Step one....respond to obvious problem comments.
Step two...put them on the 'watch list'.
Step three....watch and wait.
Step four...warn.
Step five....silence....via 'Exile' or 'Visitor' status.
Wincustomize.com is a skinning site....for skinners...to display and distribute their skins.
Users of such skins come second.
Commenting on works, as with all interaction with the site is a privilege, NOT a right.
Rights 'may' be inalienable....but privileges can be removed.
Now....I'll post 2 comments in their entirety that caught my eye....and were removed.
These are general examples of considerably more which were much alike, and several were far worse [also removed].
Freaking ugly. What can I say?
In addition, I believe that the skin quality reflects on the creator's appearance in real life. Therefore, I believe that baybboy is a excrement-covered, spotty, diabetic, overweight piece of lard that leaves behind a train of slime when he walks.

embarrassing. Why did you make this skin?
You seem to have made a TON of skins in a few days - they are all REALLY REALLY bad. stop making skins in a day or two by simply taking graphics found on the internet and pasting them together and submitting it as a 'skin.' Seriously, who the f*ck uses this sort of skin? It's bulky and ugly. I don't care if you make bad skins - it is your reputation that suffers, not mine.

Now, these fine gentlemen, along with Sadaam Insane and Osama Bin Laden have been 'removed' so further comment will not be happening. It's notable that their UserIDs are from 1.05 mill to 1.13 mill.....making them 'new', as in this year.
See....I personally couldn't give a toss about these 'users' who are not skinners....not when they indulge in personal attack and insult which results in a fellow skinner removing her works.
IT IS THIS WORK'S REMOVAL THAT REFLECTS POORLY ON THE SITE, not the bunch of 'children' whose status is now between 'exile' and 'visitor'.
This sort of crap has no place on Wincustomize.com.....and won't be tolerated.
Sure, constructive criticism is good....even 'this sucks' is legitimate....but personal attack in particular will see you gone and your feet won't touch the floor.
Melanie.... sanity has been restored with certain comments being removed from your works....if you would like them back up again....[the works, not the comments] let me know and I'll fix it...

I do hope that Baybboy didn't leave, I haven't seen him back on, he's progressing so nicely and I love to see the work as he grows.
Reply #59 Monday, April 26, 2004 9:37 PM
I would like to say that I echo everything Jafo has said. I feel exactly the same way as he does. ANY skinner can e-mail me ANYTIME if they receive comments that are unjust or plain rude, and I will get straight on it.
my e-mail is [email protected]

... If I submit something [like a wallpaper, pretty much all I *do* submit hehe...] and I'm confident in my submission, why would I care if some person comes along and slings around ungrounded negative comments? If I'm confident in my work, I don't care what kind of negative feedback I receive, because the only ones I pay attention to are that of the skinners themselves OR if someone wants something specific.
The only reason I think ungrounded comments should be removed is because it might give a bad impression on any newcomers to the site, or just a regular visitor. Comments containing slang, of course, should also be dealt with in the same manner. As forthe negative comment ITSELF, I don't mind any I just take a look at the source instead of letting them get to me.
..my point is, all of you skinners are consistently putting out good work, and ALL of you are still learning... try not to let what others say put a damper on you. If these "trolls" knew any better, they'd submit skins themselves..
