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.

When I submitted my skins today, I got them rejected.... and I"m not complaing about them being rejected, but the manner in which they were. Here they are: (click on the image to visit the sites if you want)




No offense, but I think these are pretty good.... I spent a lot of time... A LOT. I'm not new to submitting, and I'm not asking for special treatment -- I do have a few layouts in the xanga layout section.

When it was rejected, I realized that I hadn't submitted the required 500 x500 screenshots, so I PMed the person and told him that. I explained I had resubmitted it with the required information and more detailed instructions, and that I knew that resubmission was against the rules. I just thought that if I supplied the correct information it could get accepted. I also asked what else could have been wrong so as to do better in the future on other layouts I might submit.

I got this reply: Resubmission is against the rules. period.

Geez.... I didn't mean anything bad. I wish moderators would give a litle more feedback in their PM's, even if it is harsh. I'd learn from that.
