I know it's been said by many before, but I'm gonna rant some more.
This rating system is so corrupt. I submitted an Icon(Adobe CS) 1/21/04 an recieved the infamous "6" then sign in today and notice that it's been downgraded to a "4", 5 days later. PLEASE!! What a joke. The system is pathetic here and everyone knows it. Get rid of the "Ratings" and let the members decide on their own whether they like it or not. Until I see a change, I refuse to submit any of my hard work and time to this caos.

Jafo, have you looked at the icons I ment in my email? I doubt the orgin from them, check the comment section of it, it may also be usefull. (and then we are not even looking at the fact that most of them are standard icons).

well as a temp solution in high hopes of being useful, when i see something ripped i rate it a 1. Then the chances of people seeing it are less between the time email is sent and mods remove it. If you'd like I could send about 800 emails pointing out ripped work lol. I'd send it all at once of course but you wouldn't get it till march lol

spring cleaning anyone?

I must concur that the rating system is a joke. I recently spent hours updating my Batman skin. I added toolbar icons, menu buttons and fixed,changed and improved many images. I also analyzed and fixed every error identified in Skin Studio, something that I've seen no other skin do before. For example, that great and beautiful skin by Mormegil, Christmas Time, has 77 errors identified in Skin Studio. My skin was originally a 8 rating. And after all the work I put into updating that Batman skin, the rating dropped to a 7. Therefore, I do think the rating system is a joke. Not that I really care, I wasn't even going to rant about it until I saw this thread. What's the use in being flamed, but here it is and flame on if you must. That said, I do believe the rating system serves a good purpose. It just seems that some people abuse it or use it maliciously.

Chas...one problem is that each time a skin is updated it attracts more attention and therefore usually more ratings....now if the skin was originally OK and had a '8'...then you made it brilliantly perfect but someone was not overly thrilled and gave it a '4' then though it had 'improved' as a skin the rating would now be a '6'.

It happens....and can be annoying, but generally the more times a skin is rated the more 'accurate' the median becomes...

I do my homework before I open my mouth and risk making myself look like a fool. I'm not directing anything at you, trying to flame you, and or otherwise trying to just be an [explitive deleted].


That was a personal attack Horizon..Blah
Not submitting to this site, or withdrawing work from this site doesn't make me a lesser artist, nor does it make me a fool or an explitive deleted.
And it is not "fine arts" what I do.

What I wanted to point out is that constructive criticism together with a low mark is a far better way than giving low ratings only.
Read my earlier posts in this thread please.

I am getting tired of being harassed when I do open my mouth here, and being judged on what is submitted to the WC library.
**sigh**

Jacob....when people may not know you they are likely to seek info such as checking submitted works, etc and will likely jump to [incorrect] conclusions.

It's difficult maintaining an online personna that remains consistent to all so that assumptions are not jumped-to...

BTW....'expletive', not 'explicitly'....Spell checker

Cool, those "update Thread" buttons.
It's "Edit Thread", it's "Edit Thread"...
And I stand corrected: "expletive"
