YOUR STANDARDS Options

[*WHIMSICAL 0NE*]

This is something that was brought to the design staff's attention:
While the mods are the people who decide which layouts and graphics make it to the site, the members are ultimately the ones who use them and decide which ones are popular amongst users.

It would be greatly appreciated to take some time to fill this out. You can choose to fill out whichever sections you feel comfortable with. Feel free to use examples and express any concerns you have.

let us choose? how many layouts are submitted a day? a vote system sounds lovely but a whole new program would need to be created for that wouldn't it?

anyway on to my opinions

Layouts Submissions:
Myspace Layouts: Majority of the new layouts submitted in my opinion are ugly... and something you normally find in crap sites like ultimatemyspace, skem9, and other user submitted sites that aren't regulated. But then i under stand that the mods who accept the layouts here want to give people a chance, and not drive away users. But there are 1000000000 sites out there they can join. What they should do is study the layouts here, learn whats the style of the moment and make a big intro with their very first layout. Like The Markster

Xanga Layouts: I agree on mark for this one.... every layout i view isn't align and i use netscape. Graphic wise on the layouts posted are lovely and it seems more effort is put into Xanga layouts then the ones being posted in the myspace section.

Website Layouts: Nothing tooo bad is happening with the website layout section except for the view bland layouts, but its not too bad. Although the forum section is a bit dead at times, but enough of that.


Graphics Submissions:
Avatars: it annoys me to no end how people can't tell the difference between a photo and a 100x100, 150x150 and 50x50 icon. some people post regular photos into the avatars section . Its like posting a blogger layout into the Xanga section. a standard should be set for this section where what size images should be allowed.

Layouts and Graphics:
General Comments: People should start crediting the resources they use. I'm sure its happen more then once where users or the site in general are bashed for not crediting free work. Its sad how people don't take into account the time spent to make the layouts, brushes, images and other resources for them to use and they don't credit or end up claiming for them selves.
