Ah, okay.
I think they should do that now with the current staff. Obviously, the graphics aren't up to par.. |

Holly that's a really good idea, thought ten might be a better number. Have some that are good graphics, but break the rules.
edit: Wow this is the worst quality I've seen in awhile http://www.createblog.com/graphics/download.php?id=29993 Please please please view full size before accepting! |

^Oh man, that is really bad!
I think that really needs to be pointed out that when accepting/rejecting graphics always view the full view. Doing that with the staff now would be fine too. Need to be resized and perhaps be resubmitted: users: http://www.createblog.com/graphics/index.p...uthor_id=413203 - both of their submissions http://www.createblog.com/graphics/index.p...uthor_id=489763 - I think its possibly all their submissions http://www.createblog.com/graphics/index.p...uthor_id=513729 Single submissions: http://www.createblog.com/graphics/download.php?id=30069 http://www.createblog.com/graphics/index.p...uthor_id=480407 - first three http://www.createblog.com/graphics/download.php?id=29898 http://www.createblog.com/graphics/download.php?id=29770 - possibly rejected completely the quality is really bad. http://www.createblog.com/graphics/download.php?id=29752 Isn't the quality kind of low on this? - http://www.createblog.com/graphics/download.php?id=29293 - or possibly on quite of few of her submissions? Layout wise, Is it just me or is the image quality on this layout horrible? http://www.createblog.com/layouts/preview.php?id=17622 |

QUOTE(Spirited Away @ May 12 2007, 10:25 AM) No punishment needed. How about a panel of judges. Maybe an automated system of anonymous staff "yay's/nay's" of a graphic. If two out of three says it's bad, then it's bad and should be rejected. Maybe we could have a graphics/layout staff that would be in charge of accepting/rejecting things? Not that any of the other staff members aren't capable of doing it, but that way they could stick to modding the forums. |

Layout wise, Is it just me or is the image quality on this layout horrible? http://www.createblog.com/layouts/preview.php?id=17622 Because they were already accepting I'm don't really think we should reject them for being too big. (Plus they are still usable) I know we have rules and obviously they were not followed, but since they are not actually horrible (not all) I don't think the size issue is a good enough reason for them to be removed. Even if the rule was violated. The images that are low quality though , I will go through as soon as I can. The icon - Those cartoon type-images are usually kind of low but I think the texture helps give it that "misty" look but I'd say it looks fine.

Just doing some type of punishment would work out better. Having a whole other group just to do the accepting/rejecting seems "out there" just a little bit. Plus part of being on the job anyway is accepting and rejecting graphics not just moderating the forums. So yea. Thats just my opinion I don't think a whole nother group of staff is needed. |

^ That's true, but the group of staff could be picked by the talent they've showed in the graphics they've submitted. Ehhh idk.

But as Toya said, its just going way to far with it all. |

A committee would be pretty senseless. Sorry, I just got a chance to read the whole thread. There would be a longer wait to see if your graphic passed in the queue, and the longer wait means more build up. Plus, not everyone is on at the time, and its hard trying to get everyone together. Whoever is a part of this committee would have to be someone who isn't busy. And, well, chances of finding that is, well, slim.
We need to make a limit on who can submit graphics. Yes, the whole "You-need-X-posts-to-submit-graphics". I think by doing this you will knock out some of the stupid jockers who steal from DevArt and various other places, and sort of make people work for the right to submit their graphics. I seriously think this will eliminate A LOT of the, well, horrible graphics that are in plentiful in the queue. Also, uh, I really feel weird stating this, but as I have realized from work, if you don't say anything at all, then nothing can be improved. Honestly, I think too many people have access to the queue with, like, minimal design experience and don't quite understand the ideas behind the standards. Now, I'm definately not going to name names because a) I dont want to sound like a bitch and b) my head would go rolling out the window. I think that ANYONE who has access to the queue should have a better understanding behind these rules/guidelines before they can accept/reject shtuff. Whew. That was fun. |

I don't think anyone has brought this up, but when is the design staff going to remove the bad graphics that were posted in here?

They have been removed. You can still view them though. They're just not viewable through the graphics tab thingie up top. The graphics stay in the system, for, like, ever.

Just because you are active and know what you're talking about with help and such doesn't mean you can judge a good graphic. |

I hate to say this and get in the middle of everything but I agree with this:
QUOTE Not so much that, they might be qualified as far as giving help and such but with accepting graphics. Its really true, there are just some people out there that are completely qualified to give out help and perhaps be on staff but to go in the queue and help accept or reject things just isn't for them. Of course they want to help but perhaps its better if they don't. =X |

^I don't think their going to bother deleting stuff once its been accepted now.
 I don't think they really want to go through a new house cleaning because it almost puts a bad name on the staff in that their incapable to accepted/rejecting the right graphics the first time around that they have to do a massive new house cleaning again.  I hate to say that.

Eh, whatever. It's just going to lead to a giant house cleaning anyway. Wouldn't it make sense to just do it in smaller sections?

I hate to say that.Actually we do. Its been spoken about but whether or not it will be done for sure hasn't been decided yet. Its pretty noticeable that it needs to be done, so personally I would say we leave the ones Jackie mentioned till we do it. (If its going to be a while , then I'll go through them now) At least that way its part of the process. I'm going to bring it up again to see if we can start the process soon. |

I think as much as it would reflect poorly on the design staff, another house cleaning is needed. But after this, house cleaning should be banned, and bad graphics should be COMPLETELY removed from the database.
