Quality Standards? Options

[digitalfragrance]

Alright. I have nothing personal against these designs, or their designers. In fact, some of these designers have other great layouts. However, I think that the ones on this list are EITHER...

A. Too simple for a DIV layout (not much content either)
B. Too simple for a Standard layout (no banners or contact tables...)
C. Low image quality
D. Inadequate designing

Granted, some are better or worse than others.

Are we adhering to what was discussed ealier about slightly raising quality standards as we go? I know that was a topic that all of us agreed on before I stepped down. Whether or not the mods are, it seems as if the quality of some layouts accepted is below the standards that we had.

Take it or leave it, but that's what I think. Does the community feels the same way I do?

*NOTE: I paid no attention to who accepted these.

I agree,

The first one for one, the whole default profile isn't hidden.
2. The second one is a big eyesore >_>
3. I see no problem with, its just a regular skinny, I don't think its to simple or anything, and I can see a lot of people using it.
4. Its fine, its a little awkward that they used a stripe background, because it doesn't match, but I guess someone would use it.
5. Its fine.
6. good too, except the background. Victorian style backgrounds are overused, and I believe that we made a agreement to stop accepting layouts with such backgrounds.
7. Simple yes, but its fine.


Yea, we hired new staff. But of course we told them to read the mod guide and stuff. I mean it will take time essentially. And I think the head staff/admins can go behind in the queue and reject anything that seems questionable that was already accepted. I do remember Trish doing that a while back, like when Dani was promoted and what not.
