Most of my ratings are between 5-10. I have given a 2 I think twice. One was one a wall that the author said took 5 min. to make and it looked like it, but he asked for comments so a I gave him one with the rating. Can't remember the other one. If I commented, you got rated. I sometimes rate without commenting.

hello all, i'm not here 2 start a war, but, i did give adni a 1 rating on his wall 'seeds' because it looks very bad to me, i did not rate it low to be mean, its what i thought. also i was surprized because most of his work is good. i know i'm goin to hung for saying what i feel here, but life will go on, and another thing i also gave him a rating of 10 on his othe wall rt under seeds. after reading the post here in this thread, i must say i've lost respect for adni crying about gettin a bad rating, he dosnt have to have his work ok'ed before its put up for everyone to see, hum, thats nice. i cant tell you how many walls i have had rejected before they ok'ed one of mine, and now i prob wont get any ok'ed, o well. again i say the rating i gave him was not to be mean or to get even in some way, ppl will prob think that anyway, but thats ok. i jus heard about this thread a little bit ago, thats why i'm posting this now. you dont have to go looking for some evil person thats giving ppl bad ratings, i agree with what someone else said, make the ratings so they are connected to the comment, i hope everything works out and ppl dont have to be all upset over their ratings.

Denny, there will be nothing done to you because you expressed your opinion. The moderators are fair.

Hey Denny03, I guess you don't know English well, but I wasn't cry at all for my ratings, you better try to read again what I have wrote.
Any explaination about the rate 1 you have give me? Just curius to know how people like you are thinking.
By the way, I don't need any respect from no one, I am not that foul, I just respect my self and I don't want to say more about it.

Case is over for me.

Denny03: No problems with your [1] rate. Looking and your post here and to your overall rates, It seems to be reasonable to me, since you allready gave good rates to the same author stuff and this rate in question looks to us that you just didn't like this particular file, wich is your right to do.

Lady Akasha, you're not going to get punished for saying what you think and being honest. However, I am starting to wonder if maybe adni's English is a large part of the problem here. I know in the past his comments have been misunderstood as a result of bad wording, and I've had pretty heated arguments with him as a result.

Let's just take his word for it that this was simply a misunderstanding and leave it at that. I'm sure the ratings debate will continue apace anyway...

adni, i wrote what i did because ppl where wondering who gave you such a bad rating. i wanted to let you know it was me. like i said before, i rated low because i was shocked to see something like that from you, your other work is so much better. i'm not going to say anything else about this matter, i'm not hear to have bad words going back and forth.

You have missunderstand me Lady Akasha, that's all. No problem

Hippy,

You've forgotten Afuss/Babya already?

I feel very sorry Hippy, for not being so clever as you are!
That's life, I guess..... we can't have them all!

Love for sale...hot, nekkid---oops. Wrong forum!

Boxxi thats the main reason i mainly don't rate, as i make Walls i know what goes into them, if i don't like it i will say but i wont rate low for that reason.

For anyone that cares...here's my two cents on the rating system.

First off, as a very stubborn person and being known as "The Critic" to all my friends, I've come to judge and criticize almost everything. My friend just bought himself a $9,000 sound-system for his car, I told him it sounded like crap, you gotta adjust the tweeters, the pre-amp levels are off, you need to fine tune that EQ, set the color on your screens, and get rid of that stupid X-Box! How this relates is although I'm a critic, I'm very fair. I don't rate a lot of skins, but so far, the only thing I have given a 10 is mormegil's FauxS-Toon WB theme, everything else got a 9 or under. The way I see it, people shouldn't care about a rating, this isn't the olympics and not everyone is gonna judge you like the french. You guys are not out to get gold medals and worldwide publicity, you are here to express your views on desktop customization (which I'm grateful for). To even get a little bit upset in the slightest way is unnecessary. There is one thing my mother always said to me, that was "never give a sh*t about what people think of you!", I think any and all artists should feel the same way! Why would a bad rating get you upset? You spent the hours making it, and that alone should satisfy you! If it doesn't, you need to take a look at why you are doing it in the first place. So to all publishers of art, graphics and whatnot...do it only because you want too, don't do it for praise or fame. Every memorable artist, whether it be a painter or a skinner, did it because it's what they liked to do...not because they wanted to be famous!
