I've yet to purchase this one but don't you think it was rather rude of you to do this to Z71 instead of contacting him first?

Your problems may be unique and confined to your system. You need to assume they are until you have heard otherwise as now you've accomplished nothing but give Z bad publicity without confirmation of it being warranted.

what he said ...

but in the other hand., you are free to express your thoughts.,, its your money and at the end., this is a discussion forum ment to look for answares

Ive reloaded the skin several times..if one knows anything about skinning their obvious bugs

Way to make someone with apparent legitimate concerns look like an asshole Fuzzy. Class act mate I can't wait until you spell something incorrectly.

Since when are folks required to contact artists privately with bug reports? I know mine have been pointed out many a time with no one casting aspersions at those OP's.

Receiving public critique comes with the territory.

As far as OP goes.. as far as I can see the bugs look legitimate to me, It's especially disturbing to see a Master use images from another skin, and if their not.. they are pretty damn close. Shouldn't we hold skinners with Master status more accountable or should we ridicule folks that point out their shortcomings?

It has been pointed out many times that moderation issues should be dealt with by pm. If there are issues with this skin which may, or may not be genuine, then there is no need to publically vilify the skinner involved.

What about this message is not getting across?

As far as I know skin bugs don't have to dealt with privately.. do they?? Regarding ripped images.. if they are displayed publicly they should be dealt with publicly. Perhaps it'll add some incentive... not to.. for potential future offenders.

I don't suppose they have rules for EX-mods making perfectly good community members feels like assholes eh Fuzzy?

but thats ok.. as you obviously dont give a crap.. just run off at the mouth won't ya .. just petty my man.

I'm not opposed to this being moved to the skin thread but I find the sweep it underneath the rug attitude objectionable. People should be taken to task for wrong doing.... and not privately. Perhaps it might actually do the community some good.

Wow..  i really planned to have a nice evening.

The reason this is NOT to be done publicly is that the person may be wrong.......I'm sure you wouldn't appreciate someone publicly calling a portion of one of your skins a rip and then having 20 or 30 people jump on board while you're innocent of what you've been accused of.

Ive looked at the images.. imo he's not wrong.. too close for comfort for my liking.. and I should know.. I made the originals.

I have never nor would I ever use someone elses work.  perhaps thats the difference.

I'm only hostile who those who ridicule people for no reason then finish by acting as though it's funny to them.

Not really.. just petty.

I am dissapointed as well.

This is the third thread I have seen recently where matters best left to the mods or the responsible artist(s) is dredged out in the forums. One thread had to come 'after' the fact.

When I think of 'community', I think of 'helpful, supportive, freindly' (unl;ess of course, skinhit is involoved, but I digest). Bashing, accusing, and going right over the heads of those that can properly adress these matters is not what I think of when I think of 'community'.

Since I am NOT a mod (there would be such a cry from Australia were I made one, I am sure you would hear it in Guelph, Ontario. *jk)  I can only sit back and watch and hope enough people (including those who feed the negativity) get tired of seeing them.

To say something 'appears to be a copy' is not only inflamatory but reckless. If you have proof it is, go to the artist or a mod. Why would you even consider bashing and defaming the artist in an open forum on something you would say 'appears' to ba a copy. How would you feel if someone went through your gallery and said 'This and that appear to be copies" in the open forums? Wether they were or not, whether you could prove it or not, I am sure it would be disheartening to you.

sigh. pffft. I apologize for the short rant. Anyone who knows me though, know I could go on and on and on...  

I'm just to frustrated to put any more words together.
