No problem

I agree with you Stockholm. Thankx for the comment, I'm glad you like the icons and my desktop.
No. I didnt edit the Fauxs Icons. Those are the original FauxS X Amber version. You can get them here >> https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?library=2&SkinID=821

I peaked in and none of the ratings were <5. I am not sur ehow it could have been a 2.

I think Jafo removed the 1st rating which was a '2'

ratings don't bother me too bad, it's the downloads that count yeah, but if it's less than a 4 (I think) then the majority of users never see it TO download it, thats when it does bug the hell outta me.

Doh! Thanks for the link.

For those that can see or rate, it depends on what they have their ratings filter set at. For those that are visitors, they can see 7 and above.

Hmm...I thought I WAS a WinCustomize Subscriber...? Maybe I'm confusing it with a StarDoock subscription.

AP67....I know who rated them a 2......Now let me try remember their nick.......something like 'gold wing'.....no, or was it 'bronze flyer......no, it will come to me in a minute.....yes thats it - it was Silver Bird.....do you know this person? Have you done something wrong to upset this person for them to be so cruel and rate your fine work so poorly

@ Leo. Man, I gotta learn to put the toilet seat up >

1st rating is given by the admin who accept the upload ... Am i wrong ??

There was one rating of 1. I deleted it.

Apocalypse_67: Even if you see your work rated by people, you still think you deserve more?

I know is hard to do icons, I have tried it and I'm still learning. But if I release an icon and the users at this site rate it low, I think that's the last word. Live with that.

BTW: I rated it 3. I don't like them and I'm not one of those envious and jealouse people with nothing better to do.

Learn to live with low ratings and improve your work.

I think a 2 was way too low.  I think that was Ap's point. That regardless of the issues involved, if 5 is "average" there is no way a reasonable person could say that that was a 2.

ut oh!

1st rating is given by the admin who accept the upload ... Am i wrong ??

Since my uploads bypasses moderation admins dont rate my work. They start out with a default '6' rating until someone else rates it. Then that 1st rating takes the place of the default rating.

That is not the issue here nor is the point I was trying to get across.

I see you have some inner issues. But the feeling is mutual. I dont like many of your work, thats why I never comment or rate them.

Now this would've been funnier if you would've been wearing a clown suite at the time.

BTW. Why do you keep adding me to your MSN Messenger. If I havent added you is because I'm not interested in having you on my list.

I knew this was coming!
Well said baby

*makes popcorn*

Stockholm, put extra butter on it and pass the bucket

OK....let's not all get comfy with the popcorn, and remain civilised...

Unfortunately for those who bypass moderation they end up exposed to the vagaries of public critique without the advantage of at least one 'competent' Admin rating to balance things reasonably.

However, having that automatic 'default' 6 remain as legitimate is equally unreasonable [the work may be of a far different standard/value in either direction].

The first rating placed was quite at odds with the work's true worth and was 'adjusted'....however sine public exposure of the issue it can attract further undesirable response/s.

The only proper solution to such incidents as which prompted this thread is to contact an admin privately and have the issue resolved [if found necessary/warranted], and consequently the popcorn vendors will miss a few sales....

 

Well said Jafo.
I think the default rating works good since it's only temporary until a 'true' rating is assigned. Sadly some people will assign a rating based on personal issues rather than a true criteria of the work. And Im not talking about my work, but about a lot of the work in the site.
This post was mainly to create awareness about how ratings can be mishandled.
I'll be more prudent in the future.

Oh damm, there goes my popcorn vending franchise >

Sheesh tough crowd tonight!

Sorry my bad.

I just said I didn't like the icon pack not all of your work, I like your wallpapers and I used your HalloweenHades wallpaper for my work computer. All the people in the office asked where did I get that wallpaper, and I sent them the link to your wincustomize library of wallpapers. . And my work is not like yours, I just take the files that people like you do and put them in a nice way(KkMenu), that's all. I mean: what I do is not a big deal. Make a Windowblinds skin is a big deal.

Now this would've been funnier if you would've been wearing a clown suite at the time

That was not meant to be funny. And I'm sorry if you felt offended. That was not my intention.

BTW. Why do you keep adding me to your MSN Messenger. If I havent added you is because I'm not interested in having you on my list.

Sorry about that, Maybe I was going to ask you permission to port one of your great WindowBlinds skins to the kkmenu.

Sorry if I upset you.

Bye, friends again? (Just kidding, no hard feelings)
