I set mine on 'all' - ratings have no effect on my decision to download. My sucky dialup on the other hand has caused me to way behind in downloading.
You do know I meant that in a postive way?
I will not decry or bemoan your decision. I will miss your postings here.
On the other hand, the smartass in me is not bound & I do have this really cool avatar SD made for me that doesn't get the exposure it deserves...

The rating system is * I hate it, ** I don't like it, *** It's OK, **** I like it, ***** I love it. So somebody didn't like it... it's an opinion, nothing more. No need for name calling. Dark skins always attract diverse ratings and this one has far more five stars than one stars - all just personal opinions of the people concerned. I've not used it myself so I cannot rate it or comment further other than generalize about the popularity of dark skins - some folks just don't like them, I know, my dark skins have suffered a similar fate

Nighttrain, its not such a big deal as you are making it out to be. So what if you got a 2 star rating? Thats a heck of a lot better than a lot of skins get. I rate skins at what I think they should be rated. I gave the skin a 2 star just now, because I think that the glass is overused, and its too dark for my tastes. Hence: "I dont like it". Thats kinda the way things go...

It's only one or two people NT, not the whole community.
Fuzzy got right, there will always be those that don't like something no matter how good it is. I believe it's just as wrong to use ratings as a personal attack as it is to make a verbal attack on someone. Frankly, it's petty and childish.
The main thing is if you leave, you lose. If you let someone else's actions control your reactions you lose. Retribution gets you nowhere. You've shown the community the kind of person you are. Your best bet is to blow it off. It's hard to do and it sucks, but it reflects who YOU are.

So Cerebro...You say that my skin was posted with a 2 star rating out of the cue (in the comment section of my skin). Thank you for confirming. That is wrong. I expect better judgement from WC administrators and thats why I made the nasty comment. In simpler words , the moderator that posted my skin drew first blood.
The current ongoing conspired attack on me is an embarrassment to the entire communtiy. I really hope that Boxxi is held accountable for his actions. He had no right seeking revenge on me based on a comment I made on his skin. My comment was not a personal attack. Someone had to say something harsh so that he hears the truth.
So go ahead and keep conspiring. You guys have chased away some very good skinners and made them feel like outcasts while protecting each other in the exact same fashion you did today.
This is not about ratings. You guys made it about ratings based on a comment I made 2 weeks ago.

I have to agree with Lantec, NT. Who cares what the ratings from a few people are? Some really nice skins get rated down and some really terrible skins get rated highly (IMHO) all the time. The only problem I see is this whole "revenge rating" business. That is just silly.

Night train, its not a matter of 'conspiring' at all. My rating that I gave the skin earlier was a reflection of what I thought the skin should be rated. Its not 'unfair' and its not about revenge.
"Someone had to say something harsh so that he hears the truth"
Umm, didnt I just do that to you? Your glassy skin doesnt meet the 'average' bar. Accept that as constructive critisism, because I know that is my own personal opinion. You have many positive ratings as well, so dont be so obsessive about an initial low one. If you are annoyed that the 'casual visitor' will not see your skin, do better work in the future. Its all a matter of improving skills over time. Dont be so overreactive... we all want everyone to improve.
Just because I'm a moderator doesnt mean that 'we' gang up on those who arent mods. We are what we are because we make fair judgement and can keep a cool head. Lets just relax... I like your other skin that you released in that mysteriously 'deleted' thread...

Note: I dont know who moderated your skin initially... heck, it may have even been me, and I just dont remember. No need to be aggressive about it... low ratings are part of life, just look in my gallery.

Night Train, ratings aren't everything. All that matters is how many people are actually using it. Three stars isn't bad. That skin is pretty sweet compared to some that I've seen on here. I would pay more attention to the number of downloads.
You're a great guy, leaving this place just because your skin had a 2-star rating is, well, stupid. Just move on. As long as you are satisfied with your work, then it's fine.
I don't prefer light over dark colored skins, either. I switch between them, actually. After I am done using Halloween then I am going to get a light one.

My last bootskin was doing quite well in downloads - till someone rated it. A noob put a 1 on it. Now it is languishing out of sight because of one rating by someone who has no skinning knowledge at all. Is that fair? No, it isn't, but you don't see me complaining

Dont delete this thread. Its too late for that, so just get over it please. Currently there are some outstanding subscription 'contests' that are relying on post counts. Lets just not be too hasty in 'deleting' things we dont want others to see.

You guys have turned the whole thing around JD. Not one of you has recognized Boxxis actions which started the whole mess.
yeah I was mad about the initial rating and I still am. You and Hippy need to get on the same page. According to him, what you (or the mod that approved the skinj)did was wrong. I heard what you said about my skin. I didn't respond because you have your opinion. I didn't hold it against you. I remained quiet, didnt I? You had to go and repeat yourself...why? I didn't respond to your critisism of my skin. I accepted it. I guess you fealt it necessary to drive the stake in further.
My aggression is not aimed at the entire WC staff. Only a select few. It was my support thread which I no longer feel the same passion towards. I would think I have the right to delete it if I feel so.
Its about me being brutally honest with another skinner that just needed to be reminded what skinning is all about. The rest only assured me of suspicions I have had for a long time.
