Wallpaper Gallery
Published on April 2, 2008 By Fairyy~ In WinCustomize Talk

Out of the first 12 walls in wallpaper gallery 7 of them are rated either 2 stars , 1 1/2 stars and 1 star.

Raven2043 has 3 walls in first 2 rows.
one with 3 1/2 stars the others are rated 1 star.
Here was a post he made awhile back a post that says DELETE MY ACCOUNT:

So I gather that if you make a lot of noise in forum you get your walls to be visible ..but if you ask discretely ( in email ) about a rejected wall like I did last week I get told that this is not a Union...long time members do not get special treatment...and its pretty much none of your business cause its not your wall. I asked because the wall was rejected and the rejection mail sent and the walls had no downloads at all. (Named InCOGnito appropriately) So I thought maybe it was a glitch , an accident , a mistake...because it didnt appear the walls had even been looked at...

Ok , so I was asking about a wall that was technically not ' mine' it was BuzzH58's, but seeing that BuzzH58 and I usually work on everything together and I have blanket permission to use any of his walls, themes, widgets and graphics at any time I felt I could inquire why a wall I felt was an ' ok ' wall was rejected and sent to that " personal site oblivion ' that no one ever sees.

That wall was to be part of a Theme we were working on but once it was rejected, I deleted anything I was working on. I figured ...why bother ? The moderators think the wall is crap so anything I make will be crap too .

I invested in Photoshop weeks ago...I open it, I close it. I dont even want to learn the program. It just seems like a waste of time.

So I guess I'll go download the free version of Apophosis and just upload fractals.

I have a few Personal Page Only walls. No prob. But I happen to use inCognito a lot. It is one of my favorite walls. How in the world did it get such a low rating?
on Jun 16, 2008
This stuff happens from time to time. Some times one or two at a time, sometimes with entire blocks of walls.
And sometimes, the low ratings are the result of user ratings post-moderation. Those don't get moved to PP.



the actual rating system is needed? do we need to rate with stars? why(if your answare is yes)?

i'm tired of seen threads from people saying that why they get low ratings.., we are not children.., we are not on school just wating a star from our teacher...

the rating system shouldn't go., it SHOULD change... we can use favs+!

tell me how many sites were other people post their work use stars..? how many are out there? how many are still using or in fact.., how many have used any kind of star rating...?

...this is useless.., no comment, no thread.., no one out there will change this.., no matter how many skinners say "damn! i'm out of this site".., it wont matter........

DAMN STAR RATING SYSTEM!

The ratings issue has been brought up over and over again in many threads by many different people over the years.  If someone had a real, workable replacement to the star system that would still provide USERS with a meaningful score to browse skins by, I'm all ears.

Star ratings will go away if and only if a real, viable, and easy to understand method can be developed.  It has to be something that is immediately understandable to anyone who comes to the site seeking skins.

I just wonder if there is a fix in the works for these bugs(that allow walls under 2 1/2 stars into the gallery)?
on Jun 17, 2008
Moderation bugs as outlined in the original post are on the to-do list.

It's a long list...

To elaborate on what Zoomba said in reply 22:
The ratings are not for the artists.  The ratings are for the users/consumers so that they can quickly see the best of the best here at WC.  Until another way is devised to assist these users cull trough the huge amount of content available the rating (as they are) are the best solution devised.
