Uploaded, then it disappears

Is there something wrong with the server?

People constantly ask when I'm going to upload again on here...I'll just tell them I can't because they look to "similar" for the administration so it won't be accepted...such a shame...well at least I can upload on ThemeXP without problems.

Spending alot of time on a piece doesnt always = quality
Oh, and good luck with the spyware infested ThemeXP

It seems I don't have a choice but to submit elsewhere.

Personally I think the white is over flared.
No-one is assured of having all their submissions accepted.
It's called 'moderation', and walls in particular are moderated.
Once it was an over-abundance of Bryce renders....now it's becoming Aphothesis generations.
Eventually, without some control/limitation Wincustomize would be inundated with them....

Moderation is not just about quality. It's also about database content. One of the aims is to keep the database balanced with a good mix of different styles and looks, and of course quality.
Don't be discouraged by having a wall rejected. It doesn't necessarily mean the quality was substandard. As Jafo pointed out, there is starting to be a flood on Apophysis renders and more and more will probably be rejected in order to keep a good balance of styles.

| does Link look like poor quality to you? |
To be honest, it looks "generated" ........... as in, "I've seen various versions of this 100's of times"
Please understand, you're not being picked on, all submissions must go through the moderation process. If you must have everything thing you submit, accepted, then you are correct about needing to upload to sites that accept everything.

It looks ok for a general piece of art - but no way in a hot place would I EVER use it as a desktop wallpaper - too busy

I once said this about Bryce renders, and it's just as valid about Apophysis: a good Apophysis-based wallpaper would be one that you can't tell what software it was made with (or by). If one can look at it and say "Oh, this is a nice Apophysis render", then it will be rejected. One must look at it and say "OMG! I can't believe this was made using Apophysis!", only then will you be able to say YOU made the work, not the software.
When it was a new thing, I guess we got caught off-guard and already let too many in, but as we are getting more and more flooded with these, action must be taken.
