Proposition to site admins...
Saturday, April 2, 2005 by Cyberworld | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Ok my intention is not to cause problems or anything else,it's just an idea that popped in while browsing the forums and having an overview of the complain posts about skins and especially walls getting moderated.This is a suggestion and i don't know it it's possible to be implemented from technical point.Well here goes:
a. This is to be a Subscriber's only feature.
b. Every subscriber to have the right to upload a small number of skins,say 3-5,without those being moderated,except if they are not functional(e.g.Broken zip,incomplete skins or missing files).These can be called as Personal Skins and maybe have a distinctive mark on them.A special option in Upload area can set that this skin is to go with no moderation.
I think this would please a great deal of people around here.In this way you will be able to upload something that has sentimental value to you or something that you desperately want to be uploaded to the gallery cause you spent time and effort on it.I think it will also broaden the stylistic horizon of WC,not that it is any narrow now,but it would be nice to see some of the stuff getting moderated.
I don't know if it is possible with technical details,not do i know if such an option would flood the galleries with a vast quantity of useless and low-quality skins and walls,cause i don't know how many are the WC Subscribers.
Awaiting to hear opinions on this.
Peace.

I see your point Super Wizop Fuzzy Logic,yet as a suggestion is mainly intended for the walls section, where the problem seems to exist.So for walls section specifically is it possible or not?

Subscribers now have the photo album feature. You can put whatever you want there.

We do have plans on making it so that if you have a personal page that your all your skins will show up on your personal page, but only the approved skins will show up in the main WC Library. Of course we would still moderate looking for inappropriate material.
We've been wanting to implement this for a while now but we keep getting caught up with just trying to keep the sites running.

We also do plan to allow people to upload things that will stay in their personal galleries even if they're rejected for the public gallery.

I agree with you Corky_O,just seeking ways to make it rock better and better,as it does and as it will always do.
That sounds costly,but if possible why not...i guess it is a way to improve things around here even more. 
BTW another quick one: Will the WC Polls be back?I kinda miss them...

Skins aren't moderated for quality anyway, only completeness, functionality and copyright/rip issues.
The only moderation for quality is on wallpapers. This is after all a skin site not a wallpaper site. The wallpapers are there to support skins and not be a raison d'entre
