Createblog.com, has changed Options

yeah, i'm just wondering when createblog.com became stuck-up. or rather, controlled and administrated by such stuck-up people.

Hi,
I'm sorry, but your skin submission has been rejected. By all means, this does not mean we hate you, or you're not welcome here, we just feel that the skin doesn't meet our minimum quality standards at this time. Don't be discouraged by this - everyone has to start somewhere. Keep on creating and submitting new skins - all the while refining your skills - and one day, with perseverance, I'm sure we'll see your skins in the database soon enough! 

excuse me but i've been a member since april 2004. and, i don't need to be treated like a child being given "advice" about "one day, with perserverance... [my] skins [will be] in the database." i already have 5 skins in the database. and, the two i submitted were damn good. what? is createblog.com simply an anime skin site now?? you know, some people don't like anime. you would think since the forums are now overflowing with anime layouts, you'd mix it up a bit so other people would have different choices.



okay, granted, this one is a bit plain but, some people like that!! instead of all the cluttered things on some skins, some people just like it simple. you would think that createblog.com would be trying to appeal to EVERYONE not just anime fans.



and this one, maybe it wasn't accepted because it is about gay people and maybe you're a little prejudice towards gay people but, straight, gay, lesbian and bisexual people like queer as folk. it's not necessarily geared towards gay people. it's a really good show with a very big fanbase and again, it should've been approved to try and appeal to everyone's interests.

and that last one is anything but plain. so please do not insult my skins. and do not treat people like children. i used to love this site because everyone was welcome and accepted but, now it's changed. everyone used to be able to submit a skin. if ppl didn't like it... then they didn't have to use it. it's not that difficult of a complex to understand. i strongly suggest that you broaden the horizon of the types of skins you accept. because a skin that you might hate, someone else might absolutely love.

Ok, well,
1. They didn't personally write that letter for you. They probably just copy and paste it.
2. They're not all Anime. Seriously. Go look.
3. Just because you've been a member since last April doesn't mean you get special treatment.

to b0st0ngrl, i wasn't suggesting that since i've been here since last april that i get special treatment. i think mipadi interpreted that right: i was saying that because that's how long i've been making skins. and i'm not saying they're all anime. but a majority of all the skins sumbitted "lately" are anime. it gets boring after a while. but, that's my "personal" opinion. and i think i'd rather have a personal email or rejection rather than the one i got because he made it sound like i'm a new designer and i'm not. and, it also suggested that i've never had a skin submitted and i have. so, it probably bothered me more that it wasn't personal. and for the fact that everyone keeps talking of improvement but how are you supposed to improve if you're not told what needs improvement?? and yes mipadi, you are probably right. that's probably the same rejection letter that they send to everybody. i'm aware of that. i just think it's stupid to sit there and insult the "quality" of your skins but then not tell you why...








thanks for the replies. even if they are to insult me. feedback is feedback.

I didn't mean to insult you, but that's how I interperated what I read. I can't hear the tone of your voice, but when I read it, it sounded different to me than what you were proabably trying to say.

lol. that's okay. i know sometimes it comes across differently when you read it then how it was intended. i was just clearing it up on what i really meant.

Maybe you should have waited to recieve a reply before posting this.

i also wanted to get other people's feedback. not just the feedback of the person who rejected the skin. thanks for the suggestion though.
