Moderators do your job...

OZZY, theoretically, that is how it should work.  However, not all submission are passed by a single moderator.  There are *many* cases in which there are discussions over the submission prior to approval or rejection.  Some sections also take a lot longer to moderate due to the amount of submissions or the need to test/evaluate a skin or theme prior to approval.

Moderation is not cut and dry.  It's easy to say that something "should" be a certain way when you are not the one doing it

also..skins submitted by members with access Journeyman or above skip moderation.

i know, i know...but still, i think there is still room for some improvement...

I think the system works fine the way it is.

Take a second and read Jafo's thread "the tip of the iceberg" and you may want to rethink your position.

Youngins don't have any patience and/or understand how the system really works.

Hey WOM, haven't seen you for a while. That's your grand daughter? cool!

/me knows better than to high-jack a thread but figures it's done anyway.

WOM, this is not about patience...and i know how the system works, how else can i say i would like to see it changed/improved...it's to easy to say something about young people...so what if i'm just 25...this has nothing do with it, get on topic !!
or is it just that older people are like jealous of youth or something...is that why they always have something negative to say about younger people...<---- note : another empty/meaningless comment...to easy..and useless...

and to chef gerry, i don't feel like reading the tip of the iceberg, but i can guess what it's about...and i'm sorry, again i don't care that much...this site isn't somebody's hobby or something, it's a professional site with a lot of paying customers...if someone isn't capable of doing his job, well u know...if there's just to much work, hire more people...(paid or not)

OZZY... Read the thread... you should care, since it relates to exactly what you are talking about.

ozzy, grow up, dude. hire more people? wc is supposedly losing money as it is. stardock pays for the bandwidth from what has been told before. there are people who work on this site every day and are trying to get it 'right' as we speak. i agree, the down-times are moer often than i would like but i understand that not everything in the world is pefect. (insert personal insult here)

Guess I should have qualified that with a ...some youngins, as some like JD don't fit into your catagory. Us old people, like me, Chef and Snidley have been around long enough to understand and can stay calm. Hehe, I'am sure you have nothing for me to be jealous about.

Hi Chef, haven't seen you on MSN. Yes it is.

By the way, if you had read that other thread, then you might have understood and this thread might not have been posted.

grow up ? moi ? get lost ... what kind of lame comment is that...
if they're losing money, there's probably something they're doing wrong...
i heard plenty people complain...but everybody keeps saying they're all doing a wonderfull job...so why are they losing money then...anyway, this is not the topic...
personal insult?? why don't u just say it...instead of that way...u scared ??
and i need to grow up...
i don't even understand why u would wanna insult me, but u prolly have ur reasons...

WOM, better...
but still, it's not about patience, really...
nothing to be jealous about?? how about a 26 y.o. g/f !!!

Sorry OZZY, to old and set in my ways to teach and keep up with a girl that young.

lol...i have trouble keeping up as well....

if they're losing money, there's probably something they're doing wrong...

This site has never been about "making money" The only reason subscriptions came about was to help defray some of the expense of running a site that became very popular. The bandwidth costs are gi-normous. So, lighten up, and you'll stay young longer.......

scared of what? dude, the last person that scared me was my dad and he died in 1975. i fear nobody. at my age, there is no reason for me to feel fear.

ozzy, i'm not going to waste my time arguing with a kid who's younger than my kids. they tend to think they're right most times, too. the good part is, the older they get, the wiser they and i become.

this site isn't somebody's hobby or something, it's a professional site with a lot of paying customers

Not that I think it will matter but this site is not a 'professional site with a lot of paying customers'.  Stardock is, and they are good enough to go a long way toward funding this site.  Most of the people here and most of the content is indeed in the 'hobby' or volunteer category.

Snidely, what the hell r u talking about...ur way of topic again...u know nothing about me, so don't go around making assumptions about me....seems u didn't get a lot wiser as u got older....i feel sorry for you...would this topic make more sense if i was 50...?
i don't think so...IT'S NOT ABOUT MY AGE !!!! and everybody who thinks it does, needs to grow up themselves....
anyway,
Goodmorphing, if i remember correctly i paid for a WC subscription not a Stardock subscription....and i think there could be a lot of improvements still on this site which will no doubt bring more subscribers...they shouldn't be losing money, i don't even think it's necessary...WC is awesome...

You are right, the subscription is for WC.  But that only covers a small portion of the cost of running wc.  The bigger portion is covered by Stardock, the software co.  They don't have to do all that they do to keep this site running, this site didn't have to be at all.  But here we are.  If it were not for scads of people doing what they can and doing it for free I doubt you would have a place to upload to at all.  

Ozzy...you should look at the other thread.....then I suggest you get together with Boss019 and discuss haemorrhoid creams and laxatives....you need something to improve your demeanor to gain any respect around here.

Furthermore, paying for a WC subscription does not entitle one to be arrogant or rude...especially not to the admins and moderators who freely give their time to help run this site. Along with the skinners, they are the backbone of the site and you need to consider that they must juggle their tasks here into the demands of employment, family life and etc, etc. There's only so many hours in a day...and like the rest of us, only human and less than perfect.

O.K, so some skins are moderated sooner than earlier submissions, but if you can suggest something better than the current system, your better course of action is to help improve it....rather than keep complaining.

You also speak of site improvements to attract new subscribers....well that would require finances and resources not presently available, so perhaps you have some concrete ideas on how this can be achieved.

Hey, WOM, blue pills, man, blue pills

i don't need anything....
anyway, ideas...
get volunteers who do have enough time...
invest (takes money to make money), i'm sure the big cheeses of WC have plenty of good ideas but not the resources...get those recources !!
advertising helps, not just for stardock but for WC as well...
i think investing is the key...but that comes with risks and should be well concidered...
and maybe get more/better volunteers if possible to make things run smooth around here, that would help getting more subscribers.
I don't have all the answers !
And Plz leave any personal comments to yourself, it's getting irritating !!!

Well, they are in the midst of remaking WC.  They have done a lot.  But things take time.  Those things you mention will come in time, they are in the works.  Just they need a chance to finish building the place. 

It's been tough for all of us, but we get along by being as supportive of one another as we can.  It doesn't help the stress levels to have moral all drained away.
