"Wall moderation is a fickle beast. For example, many, many fractal walls go straight to personal pages or rejected because while they may be fine enough, they take very little skill or time to create, and after a while . . . all look the same. Maybe WC isn't the place to upload those, eh?

The walls moderation is probably the most personal of the galleries. It's not like a wallpaper can not work like a WB or DX widget."

I really take issue with this in regards to Apo flame fractals. You need a lot of skill and patience to tweak a flame into a usable image. I spend hours on each image I make and each one is unique. They do not all look alike.

If anyone thinks this is the case, I challenge you to try Apo and see if it is as simple as "point and click". Flame fractals are a different animal.

So, fellow Apoists, what say ye to this statement?

Please do not take offense to this but felt I had to state my case.

I wish I hadn't started this. It wasn't meant to go this way.  :NOTSURE: 

I think it's still a good discussion.  Thanks for removing the images.  Makes it easier. 

Frankief, again, the fractals example was *just* an example.  There are always exceptions.  

I just checked your personal gallery Frankief. I am shocked to see that most of the walls at page 1st only show in your personal gallery even though they deserve a lot. Its naturally a bit disapponting but you should keep them coming because there are many people who will check your gallery and praise your work cause it deserves it.

Gaaaaaaads!

  I was stuck in Natomas for 2 years!  

Ouch, its all about my wall. I just saw your comment on my page and i was surprised. It was shock for it came from you, buddy. you might not be having wrong intentions but all I know is that... this discussion hurts. Maybe at some point of my life I will learn to say "Its OK, no problem" even after all this but rightnow I am sorry I cant say this.

Hap I think jim was simply hoping to get a more clear idea of what is wanted in a wall to be accepted in to the main gallery, not an attempt at pointing the finger at any one in perticular.

I believe his Idea was to use a simular wall to get a better understanding of the critical points to which wallpapers are moderated. I do not believe he had any ill intentions.

I did not and I am deeply sorry for my poor judgement in this matter. I sincerely apologize, Haptork. As a gesture of goodwill, I have sent you a few items , one of which you expressed an interest in on my site tonight. Please accept my deepest apologies.  (:( 

It actually never was about your wall, or mine. It was about my opinion on the way walls are moderated. Yours is good, so is mine. Yours was approved, mine wasn't. Seemed to me to be inconsistency in moderation. I was wrong, I went about it wrong, and I cannot undo it. I never said anything bad about your wall. I like your work alot and have a lot of respect for you. Again, please accept my sincere apologies.

Hap......... Jim truly didnt mean any harm...... hes an awsome fella.... and so are you.....
please forgive him darlin.......... xxx cause we all love you both.

I was a bit impulsive to say that. Sorry Jim, I took you the wrong way. You have always been a nice guy and I know that. I even dont mind if someone says that he has done a better wallpaper than me cause I know I am not at all good at walls but I dont know why I felt dissapointed with this. Anyway, now everything is OK. Everything is cool between us. Thanks everyone. Now we should continue the nice discussion.

+ 2 Thank you, Hap. I am Happy now.   

well ..... after investigation ... the FBI clears ...

the idea of Jim wasnt to heart someone ..... thats for sure

but the point i think was right ..... to make better wallpaper selection system ....

anyways ... i know HapTork personally .... he is a bit agressive .... but has a mighty heart ..... a really goood guy .....
he didnt meant to say something bad to someone .....

****Good to see all in PEACE   

It's too bad there isn't something like an "artists directory" ,a page that has all skinning members listed with links to their personal page.
Also it should list what is on the pp(icons,wp,wb,whatever you all are putting there that isn't in the gallery).Just an icon would do this.Date of last addition would be nice as well.
I,or anyone else could go to the directory,see a skinner has WP's for instance on his or her page and go take a look.
Far easier than visiting every personal page,imo.
Keep y'all from visiting mine by mistake,looking for talent! ;p

There's a "Personal Page Index" link in the footer (forums is missing the footer for some reason):

http://sites.wincustomize.com/

Well bust my buttons! 303 pages of them. Who'da thunk?
Thank you,Bebi.I've bookmarked it.

On a general basis the mods do more or less agree when reviewing wallpapers.
So to change the 'evaluation', the mods have to be changed
