Wow guys! I dodnt know this topic would be so interesting!
Wizop Woman answered my question perfectly! Thanks for
everyones input! I have put in much effort like watson! Searching
through thousands of icons and making wallpapers! trying to make
the most perfect screenshot! But I probably need to try harder!
I didnt know why all my screenies where rated @5! I put a s#%t
load of effort into most of them! I will try harder though! I did
get a 7 on 1 of mine so i guess I should thank someone for it! cause
I may never see that high of a rating again!

So just out of curiosity, do the admins, moderators, and other people know
and remember visitors to the site! (registered site users) like me? or hustler69?

'Knowledge' comes through frequency/familiarity....there's two ways of drawing attention to yourself....by consistently 'getting it right' [site/community interaction] or by consistently 'getting it wrong'.
The latter is not a good survival characteristic, however....

Me of course being the one who consistently gets it wrong. Story of my life so nothing I don't already know there.

As a real newbie, here's my two cents on screenshots - to me they are representative of what actual everyday users are doing with the stuff the artists/ techies are putting out there. It's a visual incentive - a great advertisment for the product. It is a visual equivalent (for a lack of a better metaphor) of Architectural Digest. Some of the stuff I'm gonna love, some of it I won't because like any form of art, or decorating, or archetecture - not everyone is going to like the same thing. Isn't that the whole point of this site? That people get to pick and choose what they want to download, what they want to make and share with others.
I realize that ratings are very important for the people who actually take the time and make the effort to make the blinds, walls, logons, boots etc. Maybe they should be rated by a a panel of their peers if this is not what is already happening. Ratings, to my way of thinking, should reflect the level of technical knowledge and useability of the end product and should only be given by those who know what level of expertise is required.
The number of downloads should not affect a technical profeciency rating, as they are only indicitive of how many persons share the same artistic sensibilities.
And that's all I have to say on the matter.

Citizen Angel on Ice ... 3 months makes you a 'survivor'....some have been known to 'depart' within hours or days...There have been people in the past who have attained a hitherto unimaginable level of 'wrong'. Some just grab the wrong end of the stick, others a different stick entirely...

I am a very biased person. However, when I rate things, I don't go by who makes the skin or theme or whatever. I go by what I think of the content. Even my good friends on WC I will give a low rating to while giving a high rating to users who get on my nerves.
