I did.... and it was rejected again.

holy shit, how did this get to 3 pages?

they use to not send rejection PMs at all. deal with it

im just pointin this out but 59 posts doesnt command too much respect with ppl in the thousands

^I think so too, especially the 2nd one. But when first I sent mine, they're aren't 500x500 though...

^
That would be interesting !

lol. so basically, i should "respect" people who have more posts than me? honey, just because i don't post as much as everyone else doesn't mean anything. i have refered a lot of people to this site when they were looking for quality skins (which apparently i'm incapable of making now) and i've been around for a long time. i'm not going to respect someone simply because they have more posts than me. what an idiotic suggestion. i respect someone for what they say or believe in, or what they do. not because of how many posts they've accumulated. and this further proves my point that a lot of people are so stuck up now. having more posts does not make you better. it also shouldn't earn you more respect like you suggest. respect needs to be based on other qualities. more important qualities. and, everyone's, and i mean EVERYONE'S, opinion matters. just because people have more posts doesn't mean their opinion matters more. and just because i'm a full-time college student and work 35 hours a week and don't have time to get on here everyday and post random comments, do not insult me. we're all the same and how many posts we have doesn't measure how much we should be respected.

thanks for the suggestion. i appreciate it.

i don't think he meant it that way. the member tried to state his opinion as a fact that others will respect you if you have a lot of posts, which is false. erm, he's not saying that you should respect those who have more posts than you.

lbjshaq2345, everyone was a newbie with few posts to account for. it's how you present yourself that commands respect.

thank you. you actually said something i agree with.

your skins are fine.. actually i quite like them.. especially the plainer ones.. im a big fan of less cluttery ones.

Hmm....
Although I don't see anything exactly "wrong" with your layouts, I am no expert, and i am not on the staff that accepts or declines them

So even though your layouts weren't accepted for the database, you still need to be respectful of the people who look over them and be respectful of the staff's judgement. Because they probably have alot more experience in that area of work then you do. You said in one of your posts, "i respect someone for what they say or believe in, or what they do." ok, if that is true, Then Respect the staff for doing their job.

when you make up a topic calling the staff member and administrators "Stuck up" it doesn't come off good, and it makes you look worse. Also, it doesn't matter WHEN you join createblog. Or how many posts you have. That doesn't show the degree of talent you have or your maturity level. As you can see.

If you don't learn how to take rejection (rejection that isn't even personal!) how will you succeed? "i'm a full time college student and work 35 hours a week" you said. Ok, so do you do this to your professors everytime they don't like your paper, or do you treat the people you work with like this because they don't agree with you? Wherever you go in life, whatever you do, at one point or another someone is going to reject your work. It happens. Yes. And you should know that by now.

Createblog has many layouts that aren't anime by the way. SInce you've been here since "April 2004" you should know that by now.

yes, i think ur skins up there are very nice. But they weren't accepted, i'm sorry. Hold your head up high, and keep trying. Keep learning and improving your talent. Don't sulk in a corner and call everyone "stuck up". Learn from this.

sorry for the late reply. on the next rewrite of cb, ill include a custom rejection letter. also planning to make the accept/reject process more team oriented, where skins need 3 votes to be accepted or rejected. this way we "even out" personal biases.

thanks for all the great feedback! since i think the topic served its purpose, im going to close it.
