i believe that your concluslion is soley based upon one thing, you like your skin and can't see why the moderators don't.  As in wallpapers or any skin submitted it has to pass what has been established as the acceptable standard.

I'm not a skinner so I don't have any idea what could be the problem.  Did you receive an email with any kind of explanation? 

ill just shutup.. thats what im supposed to do i guess ......I actually dont think that my stuff is greatly made myself but its definitely better than most other random stuff people put online

i know that my stuff isnt as good as the stuff that 500$ software can make... but its still stuff that alot of people still are learning in graphic design classes

The star system is confusing. Each star counts as 2 stars for a total of 10. Your logon is 5 stars out of 10, which shows as 2.5 out of 5 on the page.

One thing I don't understand is why is it not counting up downloads. It shows zero downloads and I know that's not right because I downloaded it and checked it out before I commented. Perhaps they don't count up while in your personal page gallery.

Also....don't give up. I know it's been said countless times but, skin for yourself and share what you like.

I think clean and overall usability score higher marks, so actually making something detailed and unique works against the star system.

As for "ill just shutup.. thats what im supposed to do i guess" -- don't ever do that.  You will learn nothing if you just shut up, and don't ask questions/voice your feelings.  I think there is a huge difference in voicing disappointment and confusion, which will lead to enlightenment and growth, and the posts by some people which are simply a bitch-and-ditch post meant to insult those they are in disagreement with.

It is a 2 star logon at best. The sooner you accept that and stop blaming others for your faults the better off you will be.

ahh its cool!no biggie!!... just sitting back about to drink some brewskies when my wifee gets home...... so im chilled out about it... it just strikes me wierd..(the tastes of the moderators that is) it seems that thier taste for uploads changes from time to time.......Or maybe,,,, it is that you think you know what might be accepted, come to findout that your perception is not right.......leading to discuragement <<(i dont think i spelled it correctly)

Thanks k10w3 for your helpful insight and carguy as well for clearing the star system up for me.. i remember having this talk in another post at least a year ago........i just didnt get the concept because i thought they only said that wall papers (when not appealing to a mod's judgement) get place on you personal site for your own personal viewing......

@Night Train:::::  Im not blaming the mods........ the only reason i made that silly remark is because a few weeks to a month ago, i posted an article about a new skin i had finished but needed help with it.  It had like about 4-5 comments and I remember posting 1 other about a a day after that one that also had like 5+ comments and they both didnt even exist after the end of that week.......I then figured i was being picked on silently, because I heard from someone on here awhile back that mods can delete whole threads if they decide for themself that they do not like the topic.......just makes me wonder, "how'dit happin"

anyways... its ok....

Im all smiles!!! sublime20<<<<smiling so much he looks like those Daffy*ss b*stards on the enzite commercials

I have learned in my few years here, that if people like your work, you will acquire a sort of "fanbase" for lack of a better term. If they really like your work, they will know where your personal site is and therefore they will find your Personal Page Elite work. If they don't like your work enough to find you at your personal page, then do better work, so they will.

Also, as was said before, skin for you, if they like it, they will use it, if not, let them use someone else's or make their own.

I wish this to be known of me:  

Most of you know what I have dealt with recently , site problems, nick problems, you name it. I don't care if I get my download counts back or not. My reason for skinning is not for download counts. I skin what I like, the way I like, and as I said, if they like it, cool. If not, I still do. I shared, it's up to the community from there.

Jafo touched on the personel pages.  Let me say this, before something can be sent to the personel page, 3 moderators must agree thats where it belongs.  Its not up to any one mod.

I takes 0% talent to make a Vista logon...find a wallpaper and do it..tons of people are making their claim to fame with them. Yours looks pretty bad and not worth the download....sorry...

True. As someone who has been skinning for the last ten years, I do know a little bit, and my opinion is that this logon is not worth more than 1½ stars.

Well, K10w3..i think you made the smartest remark about voicing your opinion..............however i just am overpowered by people like VSTYLER and whatnot!   so ill just conform and shut up.......you cant get nowhere.....FACE IT>> IM NOT WELCOME ON THE WINCUSTOMIZE SCENE

thanks for your help K10w3! it actually seemed like there were decent people here because of you.. and i respect you!!!

im just noooo good>>>> im a star and a half.. bahhahhahahaha

I thank everyone for clarifying the questions and misconceptions i have........

so in good forum edicate i hereby state that i have been presented enough answers to consider my  thread concluded!

Thanks to all for your insight!

TELL YOUR SELF WHAT TO DO......I AM NOT RELATED TO YOU DUDE
