I think the same thing happened to me, but I can't understand it either.

They have not been moderated yet, moderation can take up to 5 days.

From taking a look at the walls on your site, from Upload Guidelines (specific for walls)

"Wallpapers of the same design with slight variations must be bundled into a .zip file."

The only reason there are similar uploads on my site I kept trying to get them to show up hopefully I can get some psoted so others can see my begining work as I try to design Walls

They also need to have a rating of at least 2 1/2 stars to get into the gallery. Otherwise......PPE.

Not saying yours don't meet the rating Old Msgt. Just info.

Well if others cannot see them how do they get rated

OldMsgt ... I checked your wallpaper submissions and will have to agree with their being placed in your personal gallery rather than the general one.

Not all images make good/appropriate desktop backgrounds as many can be too busy/distracting or cause confusion with desktop icon placement/finding, etc.

Image creation/experimentation is typically more appropriate on an artists' site such as Deviantart.com where any/all created images are accepted.

Wincustomize.com's wallpaper gallery is intended specifically for [suitable] wallpapers...

Wallpapers are voted on by the moderators and then a Stardock employee will either post them to the public gallery, your Personal Page or exile them.

The following is an excerpt from the Upload Guidlines found HERE

Wallpaper Moderation

WinCustomize has a moderated wallpaper gallery.  That means all submissions, with the exception of Journeyman and above, are placed in moderation and selected submissions will be made available in the public gallery.  If a wallpaper is not accepted into the public gallery, it will be placed on your personal site on WinCustomize.  Rejections will only occur if the piece violates any of the said rules such as ripping, copyrights, etc.

Our guidelines for judging wallpapers on aesthetic grounds are difficult to be specific about. The prime directive for wallpapers is that they must WORK as a wallpaper, in other words the design should be an effective desktop background, which includes: The background is not too busy and icons are easy to see against it, Colors are not too bright to be distracting, and colors work well together. There are many subjective design related preferences we all have and some objective qualifications as well, such as the quality of the rendering and the resolution size offered. And then there is the composition, the subject matter, the overall balance of the design, etc.

Probably the best way to decide what we like to see in a wallpaper would be to browse through the section and look at what has been accepted. We recommend to everyone submitting wallpapers to try to only send a piece after living with it on their own desktop for a while first. Put as much work and critical evaluation into the piece as you can before sending it to us.

A few examples of what will never get through moderation:

• Britney Spears or other celebrity wallpapers (see note about copyright above)
• Bryce art, unless the result is so astonishing that one could never tell it was done in Bryce.
• Dolphins, palm trees, metal spheres or other over-used elements
• XP-related walls, unless really innovative/original.
• Copyrighted photos/images
• Confused composition...e.g....3D artwork with conflicting light-sources belying the form.
• A ground-swell of negativity from a significant number of admins.

"Probably the best way to decide what we like to see in a wallpaper would be to browse through the section and look at what has been accepted."

keep in mind we do not moderate Journeyman or above and some of the walls posted after reaching that status would not likely have made it through moderation into the public gallery.

Now how do I remove all my work on walls from my site. I will only download as the person who told me my work is as good as any posted is one of your top 10 Skinners of walls. I value their opinion instead of the arbitrary opinion you and canned response with the rules you posted. I am now going to be much more critical of the work I see posted 5 stars are going to be a rarity unless work is truly beyond outstanding

The top skinners lists are by downloads only, nothing to do with quality, someone with thousands of walls in that list would have a low average download per wall.

As for the 4000, I think that you are overstating but remember Quality wins over Quantity all the time.

Where are you getting these numbers or have you added an extra zero for effect. There is only one person in the top 20 for walls that has submitted over 1000 walls.

Everyone how has submitted walls here has most likely had some sent to their personal gallery only, I have.

With respect, get over it and move on.

That is download count for the last 30 days not number of walls posted.

Personally I would leave them there or bundle them up. I have many walls that did not make it to the public pages and yet people still manage to find them and download them. people have varied tastes and you never know. If the wall gains more stars maybe you can ask to have it moved to the public pages. The main thing is you made them for you. If you like them then take it as a lesson. I do commend you for breaking the ice though. Sorry it wasn't the experience you expected. When one of my walls doesn't make it to the public pages I ask myself why and strive to produce better art. The artists here will help you but a pound of sugar can go a long way here. As 7th wallpaper skinner don't you think that I and all above and below me hasn't gone through the same. That's life in the big leagues my friend.

Just for the sake of accuracy here. These are total downloads not total submissions. Also some of these folks are no longer active here.
