Boys and Girls, it's conspiracy time! break out your tinfoil hats

I am placing the cut-off for personal-page only items at 5/10 points or 2.5/5 stars.  This is an even split down the middle.

oh and one more question...if and when a wall gets a higher rating from user votes, will it then come off the personal page and enter the gallery?

The ratings issues are being worked on.

The ONLY thing I would like to see changed (I can live with what the mods rate my stuff, and all that...even the personal gallery thing) is that a person must comment in order to rate anything.

and as to post #34...what do they do if the rating goes back down...which I have seen on a few of my own things after they have been moderated.

still waiting for a reply to #33

My wife, who has never used art programs before, has been dabbling in making abstract type wallpapers and asked whether or not I'd upload a couple of them on her behalf (as she is not yet a subscriber) to WC - not for downloads or ratings but to seek advice & opinions to help her improve....

Thing is, I know they're unlikely to pass moderation, and being that neither of us has a personal site for them to go to (as yet), that sought after advice/critique isn't gonna happen and she may just give up on the idea entirely after becoming disheartened and/or discouraged through lack of input....

I've actually used a couple of them as backgrounds on my desktop and quite like them ....but that's just one - my opinion and she may think I'm just saying that so I don't have to get my own dinner.

So what's the deal here (given she isn't a subscriber yet) on us having a joint...er, let me rephrase that, shared personal page that I can upload to when logged in. ? Also, would it have to be named starkers@wincustomize dot com or could it be named mr & mrs starkers@wincustomize, being that she can log into Wincustomize but is not yet a subscriber?

We've decided to wait until after our Feb 07 move from Tasmania to Queensland to pay for her WC and ODNT subs....to save the few extra buck we know the removalists (movers, US) will overcharge us. Yup, the cost of moving has almost tripled since I was forced to retire from the profession about 10 years ago....not that personal income/wages have. Talk about inflation....must be related to their trucks having bigger tyres (tires US) and more of 'em than a car....maybe the cost of air went up in line with fuel price rises at the bowser.

****Oi, how about completely_starkers@wincustomize...which 'could' arouse curiosity in the personal site and folks actually seeing these walls? Errr....scrub that!!! Having just looked in the mirror, only the senile and a miniscule minority of desperates would dare to enter....the majority staying away in droves for fear the unimaginable, persistent nightmares and long term therapy/meds. *****

We've decided to wait until after our Feb 07 move from Tasmania to Queensland to pay for her WC and ODNT subs.

Money is tight here too starkers . . but I'd kick in a few dollars towards a WC sub for you and the missus. Let me know how, I'll let you know how much.

ratings

Kenwas leaving WC had little to do with how the wall section was being moderated and more with the ratings system in general.

Kenwas wouldn't of had a problem with moderation as a Journeyman his walls by-passed mod que. Quite often after he put up a wall that went up with an automatic 6 rating - they kept getting d/rated to a 5. He felt someone was doing it for unknown reasons.

The good part is he can always change his mind and return after a break from it all.

Here's a thought (yes, I get them once in awhile and they are often very lonely up there)...what if we also had the option to upload directly to our personal page without any rating? Maybe, just to avoid the gallery or ratings all together? Some people, who have a problem with the whole rating thing might like that.

Like I said, it's just a thought..oops...there it goes. Ahh, I can hear the ocean when it's empty.

There already is an option box to check if you want something to be personal-page only.
