Here's an idea that would solve the problem with the angry people whose work isn't accepted, and would be a lot of fun. All new skins would be put into a special "waiting to be accepted" area where only members with the ability to rate could enter. If the skin has a certain rating or better, after a predetermined amount of time it is automatically moved to the main listing. That way no one could say that they are being picked on by the admins. If the skin isn't accepted, it w

For the 25% of us that doesn't know, could ya explain what a "GUI Olymics" is. I assume some sort of skinning contest.

I think they are under "scenery" because that is the default section selected when you upload a wallpaper. Sometimes people forget to change the catagory, which i have done myself once.

Reply to Grading, Rating and Wallpapers that suck!! in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I see lots of walls that don't cater to my taste. I often think to myslef "How the heck did that thing get approved". But... a lot of those walls have several comments attached praising them. Which reminds how vast different peoples tastes are. Don't forget to use the search filters. They help out a lot. Searching by date uploaded/ascending does show off a higher standard of walls ... although ... a smaller variety.

They are moved to the "comments" section where you can rate them. Dunno why they remove them from the list view.

Reply to Discouraged. Is our community as we know it coming to an end? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I think the first step should be to simply increase the incentive to subscribe. I mean to be honest, the current incentives don't have a strong enough appeal for most people. Incentive #1: Helps the site and community ... which only appeals to the people that feel a strong need to show appreciation. It may be sad, but this is an extrememly small percentage of our population today. Incentive #2: Higher status ... I'm sure this is a stronger pull for the average user. Promotion o

Thats it!!!... PROZAC... the Hulks Kryptonite! Now even a geek like myself could smack down the Hulk. Just slip it in his drink at the local pub. "hey Hulk, I think that lil hotty over there digs ya"... *PLOP* ...Give it a half hour or so then smack him around just for kicks.

I'm sure someone could find a way to kill the Hulk without making him mad. Like sniping him with a high powered rifle while he's still only slightly irritated.

Reply to Why Superman ? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Ok, lets say some how, some way, another super hero gets the upper hand in a fight with Superman (which I find hard to believe), all Superman has to do is fly up into the upper atmosphere, spin around the earth a few hundred times at crazy speed (like in the movie) and turn back time. Then, he replans his strategy and fights again. I often wonder why he doesn't do this more often. Sometimes I think maybe I watch too many movies, and that was just a typical Hollywood over-the-top exagger

Reply to Why Superman ? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Superman is the ultimate Superhero hands down. He can do almost everything any other hero can do and then some. I would even go so far as to say that "Superman could whoop on every other superhero combined at the same time" Kryptonite? Thats stuff is like super rare. I think most of the time these baddies come up with some so called kryptonite....its actually a fake.... and Superman just suffers from a placebo effect. But, I think we all can agree that anyone who picks "Wolver

Ratings needed in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

My last 2 walls that have been added to the library have no rating. Could someone with the ability to rate skins please rate them? I noticed a few other walls that have been added in the last few days also have no rating. I'm sure they too would appreciate being rated also. Thanks in advance.

Reply to Upload help in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I'm Having the same problem with the last 2 wallpapers i uploaded. After uploading them it said, because of my status they would be automatically added to the library and should be visible within a day. Both are visible through my name but not through the wallpaper library and both have a '0' rating. I was just curious if they weren't approved, or if it was a problem related to the sites hardware problems.
