Ratings, Public gallery vs Personal gallery.
Monday, June 13, 2005 by Cavan1 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Just had a wallpaper I upload to WC, did not select for my site only, show up on my site only. Noticed it less than 2 mins after out of moderation, going by time on email. It is rated 3 stars, a six, but in only my gallery. Are mods being a little looser with ratings for something they put on our personal sites. In the first ten walls, public gallery, there are 1 and 1 1/2 star walls, rated that way out of moderation. First ten average 2 1/2 stars.
Or is there a bug with the select for own site showing when not selected.
Waiting to see what happens with matching logon.
Just would like to know if it is a bug or if there will now be two rating systems. I like the personal page system, but seeing a six only on own site makes one wonder why.

Snowman I understand and agree with what you are saying, but when see walls rated 2 1/2 stars and less posted in public gallery maybe it would be better not to rate skins put in someones personal gallery. I saw a couple walls this week at zero downloads rated 1 and 1 1/2 stars, in public gallery, so just out of moderation. The 3 stars on the one I uploaded makes not much sense, compared to my one wall in public gallery rated 1 1/2 stars. Is it that Terragens are out right now. No rating would be best way to go. Just my 2 cents.

How wallpapers are rated after made public is kinda out of our reach - though we do check for "unfair" ratings, we still cannot do anything about it if the users doesnt agree with our initial ratings. If some users thinks a particular wallpaper isnt very good they rate it that way. We cannot keep track of how each wallpaper is rated as the time goes. (Too time-consuming)
That would propably not be a good idea. If a submission is made public without a rating it will be "invisible" to A LOT of users plus it would for sure cause even more rantings like "uh everyone hates my uploads, you all suck" if no one rates it after its made public.

No rating for personal gallery only, let users who visit sites rate. One on my site rated 7 by users, was no rating when posted. On someones personal site rating does not hide walls, can be seen by anyone who visits.

There arent two seperate ratings systems.
Normally that wallpaper propably wouldnt have been accepted but since the new "personal pages only" option were implemented the moderatores now can accept more "sub-standard" wallpapers - they will just be put in the users personal page (if such one exists) with a possible slightly lower rating.
But remember, we still reject wallpapers! This new feature isn't a sign that anything goes.
Any wallpaper regarded as "too low-quality" will be rejected.
Before anyone throws a hissy-fit over this, look at it this way: its better to have the wallpaper appear in your personal page than not at all
