I wondered if that could be done, because I had a screen get a pretty good rating from the mods when it was posted in the gallery and two days later I noticed it was half a star less. I thought I'd gone nuts and imagined that extra half!

I agree, but still this shouldnt be happening though.

 Yes Po, I do agree but it really is hard to feel much love when you are maligned without even being told why. I just look at the downloads and let them eat cake!

While I agree and I have been there and probably will be there again it's not worth the energy to get worked up about it. I'm looking at 4 proven, recognized, and accomplished skinners whose work speaks for itself.And it just keeps getting better.

Though it stings at the time I firmly believe that what goes around comes around and negativity has a way of coming around threefold.

Aren't we all reduced to being three years old and hoping this one is good enough to make the refrigerator door? We struggled with getting approval from the moderators when we start. And when we are rejected we try harder. Because you want it in the gallery. You want it to be seen by everyone. And then you wait and watch to see how many more people accept what you've put out there. Then, when you get that acceptance and good feedback you rush to create more. Because it feels good and because you love to create.

Don't let one or two ruin it for you. You're forgetting the 'thousands'----tens of thousands----hundreds of thousands---who have already embraced what you put out there from your heart.

Have Fun!!............................................................ That's all I have to say...... as usual.

gotta agree with this, go by the count if you want a good idea how the blind is being accepted. I had a dust up with the "in crowd" and had a blind drop two stars over night, surprise. If I hit 5K downloads I'm happy but I would guess that most of yours are in the tens of thousands downloaded, looks good from here.

"let them eat cake?" only if made from pig entrails and cow dung.

LOL.. I feel dirty just having read that!!

I skun, therefore I am.

I've been through it all a thousand times karen, I know how it feels, believe me.

But, through the years I have learnt.........

A: You aren't going to change anything

B: Have Fun!

Possibly, but then folks could not truely vote on a skin without fear of reprisal, ( XX vote's one of yy's skins a 6 because of some technical merit, so xx thought it deserved a 6,  unpon seeng XX's rating on their skin yy gets mad because they felt the skin deserved a 9, yy then goes over to xx's latest skin and votes out of anger, now the fight is on. Now XX fears voting his conscience and rating on its actual merits but instead votes high to keep from getting slammed in return or so his skins will get high ratings in return.) So why not just give everyone 10's and be done with it?

Any concerns about a skins recent rating's can be brought to the attention of the WC staff, it will be looked in to and if foul play is at hand it will dealt with accordingly..

... ok for the anonymity but what about to have the total count of how many persons voted and even better the specific number of who voted 5 stars \ 4 stars \ 3 stars etc.

it will be just few lines more respect the usual 1 line of the average count !

easy to say but I don't know if it's also easy to realize for a good site developer !

There have been plenty of people that think they were being screwed over and asked a mod to look into it.  Most were right and got it corrected.  Those that were wrong didn't have to wear a sign saying there were a whiner.  Usually the only way the masses know of something is when the person tells them or backs a mod/admin into a corner with false accusations and they voice it.  Think about that.  (they post,  mod told me....... or post part of an email/pm and puts the mod/admin on the spot, so the truth is posted).  Its happened.  mods see tons of skins in all the different catagories.  All being equal, which stands out?  Which deserves a higher rating?  Does the mod open the skin up to see all the coding?  No.  They apply it, check it out, if it works it gets passed(approved) and the mod gives it a rating.  How many are perfect?  A 10 rating.  Damn few.
