How much longer do I have to put up with this?

Ratings Abuse? NO. I must be mistaken...

What is the person, rating this wallpaper with 1 1/2 star, qualified for? Absolutely nothing. My rating to his job: Moronic - no star.

When it comes to art, there will be some degree of subjective judgement. It's impossible to be 100% objecttive in regards to art. A_67 has broken it down as objectively as an admin may possibly do it with the exception of overuse of an idea or in the words of the great philosopher Steven Tyler "Same old story, same old song and dance, my friend". The fact of the matter is if someone could come up with a trend setting style or unique wallpaper, it might get 5 stars even if it was not technical or had not been at all time consuming to the artist to make. Just some observations I've made.

Actually, I do give some things a 0 rating. But only if they are personal page only.  Otherwise, like Jafo said, a 0 rating is a bug.

I thought all things posted for Personal Site only are with no rating.

I would say that is BS. I gave you 5 stars!!!


Thanks. Now the logon gets a rating at least.

Got a 0 star I suspect because it's just a wallpaper turned into a logon. There's no effort involved in that.

How many logons have you created? What's the definition of logon to you? What is the measurement of effort in making a logon?

It's a great wallpaper but a pretty unremarkable logon screen.

Who was the moderator? you?
I admit it was pretty unremarkable. So what marks should it obtain? Zero? Can zero be considered as a pass mark? But, here we found my logon passed with zero marks, i.e., accepted with zero rating. So, those who get less than zero are not eligible for WC gallery.
Probably this is the rule of WC. Isn't it?

If you found it unremarkable, then who has told you to accept it?

An initial '0' rating on passing through moderation will be a 'bug' aka 'the moderator forgot to post a rating'.


So what's the result of the bug? It won't appear in the WC gallery. None would be able to enjoy it. So, what's the significance of making such free skins if no one can enjoy it?

It seems that people are prone to rate based on their personal taste rather than the quality or performance of the work.


I also think so.
