QUOTE(salcha4u @ Nov 11 2006, 2:10 AM)  Tell them to suck it up. Or, YOU could suck it up, and stop whining about the fact that you dont like some of the graphics. see how constructive that was? This whole thing is stupid... there will always be some graphics which some people do not like, and it will NEVER be possible to create a set of guidelines which makes it possible to easily qualify a submission as either acceptable or unacceptable; the scope for graphic design is to broad. I also object to the idea that things should be rejected just because they are too simple. Yes, createblog wants to deliver a high quality product, but it also wants to deliver things that people actually WANT. if people WANT a wide selection of striped graphics (which, can i just point out, have a wider range of potential for use, and are therefore perhaps the least 'useless') then cb ought to be providing them. The current system is fine. The occasional blips lie with the mods occasionally being too lenient when approving the graphics. The majority of the time, it works well. If we introudcued a more complicated approval system, the bitching would be about how slow the system was. If the guidelines were made more stringent, the bitching woud come from members who had too many of their submissions rejected. There is no one, single, clear pervading FLAW with the current system. As such, it does not need ammending. Yes, perhps a new housecleaning would be helpful. But last time, several layouts which were actually on my favourites list were removed. Clearly they werent 'useless', and i was actually really annoyed by one which was rejected. So i would just like to question the criteria which would be used, because i see two possible scenarios. 1) The housecleaning is carried out with much tighter guidleines, as a result of which we lose several graphics which may not be pure genius, but which people like. 2) The housecleaning is carried out under the existing guidelines, which means that the vast majority of existing graphics would be acceptable anyway, only a few would be rejected which genuinely need to be, but the mods would reject some which perhaps meet the criteria in and of themselves, bu which they dislike, and thus feel more inclined to reject as part of said housecleaning. Again, we lose graphics which people like, and based soelly on subjectivity. I suggest we stick to the status quo, and sit donw and watch High School Musical a lot until we are all feeling more cheerful. |
