Reply to Why I do not agree with moderators in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Opinions...Jafo, opinions Note that I am not telling that the policy should be changed. A rule is a rule and that's it. What I question - do u like or not - is sometimes the eventual isention of wall moderation, according to some walls that were accepted and published. That's all the point of this thread... And please note also, that I understand that what might be good for me, is not good for you and vice-versa. What u think is crap, might be not crap for

Ok, I understand your point, but administrators ( or moderators ) do know that they are in a position where everything might be possible. I am an administrator also in another site/forum, ( sport related ) people do not agree with me (I was insulted once or twice but solved the problem very easily - simply banished the ofenders from thr site ) but I know that as I cannot please do everybody, I am in a fragile position . So, good and common sense are the keywords.For both sides

Why I do not agree with moderators in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I said in my previous message that I do not agree with moderators and before someone thinks that's because some of my works did not pass the "test",I will throw a little bit of light about the subject. Rules were made with good intentions, trying to preserve a certain quality of the published works. However what I think is that, wallpapers authors, do try to present original works, made by themselves, without copying them from other sources and maintaining a good sense in te

I believe that probably only "stupid" people maybe rude with moderators when their works are not accepted. That's also a question of education and mentality. One can self-question why their works were not accepted but being rude, is stupidity. May be we - specifically wallpapers authors - may not agree with the guidelines that moderators use to accept or not our works, ( I do not agree ) but the rules are set and we have to stand by them. However, since automated no

Hy guys, I wonder why, but when our works - and I mention specifically "wallpapers" - are accepted (???) by "moderators", we receive an automated email message saying that a particular design was accepted and ...bla,bla, bla. However I think that also, when they are not accepted (???) , we should receive an automated email message saying exactly that. It would spare us a lot of time and the surprise - sometimes a bad one - of when we go to the " My skins" page, those

Reply to How often do you optimize? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I run my defrag once a week. On my laptop I use the normal windows defrag, but at home, because of the kiddos, I use the Diskeeper 7, which works very fine. It has the automation facility ( Set it and Forget It ), and when operating on manual mode, is faster than defrag. However it seems to me that is only useful for very "busy" computers. <A HREF="https://www.wincustomize.com/index.as

Everything has to have rules. I'm a newcomer on this forum but I am also a moderator/owner on another kind of forum discussions (sport related ) and sometimes they also call me nazi...or communist...

BMP or JPG zips ? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Hy guys, I would like to know if I can submit my wall's on jpg zips or if I have to submit them as bmp.zips and use only jpg for previews? My question has to do with the fact that I have submitted some of them in jpg's zips and after uploading and when checking " my skins" they were not there. I repeated later on with bmp's and they arrived to destination. Any info about this would be helpful. Thanks <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/smile.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absm

Adni, maybe you have a point.Seeing by that perpspective, probably you are right. However, in my perspective, this for me its an hobby in the pure sense of the term but I believe that for others it is not "just" an hobby and that they spend a lot of their time creating and would like to be appreciated for the work they do. Who does not ? If, and I repeat, "if" the people that rate behave like you said ( friendships and so on ), it is a matter of theirs peace of mind or not. <br

Reply to Please, do something about it! in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Hei Adni, do not bother too much about it. Each author knows what his/her value is and it is not some "enlightened" people that goes to take that conviction down. Offcourse some works sometimes are better than others, but putting the things as I use to put, " nothing is better or worse, everything is different ". It depends upon the perspective, right ?

Reply to How did you meet your spouse or SO in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Interesting subject. In my case was really a surprise. I knew my wife since she was 12 ( I was 17 and alredy dating someone ) - as she was a friend of my sisters - and we became really close friends since them. I continued dated with other girls ( my wife says that I was loosing time ) and I did not see my future wife for about 5 years. One day, we met each other again...and 14 months after, we got married....18 years ago, 2 boys ago, a dog, 2 lovebirds and a happy
