Moderator Performance, V.2, Suggestions/Complaints/Compliments Options

[Simba]

I still believe, however, that that verbal warning still has credibility and should still stand as so. The post that James made after being verbally warned in the thread would've received a verbal warning. Then the same thing would've happened, with just one post over.

I can see what you're saying, but in all technicalities and according to the Official createBlog By-Laws, you never gave James a verbal warning.

That changes things A LOT. I was under the impression that a PM was sent for the verbal warning. It was the content (or lack thereof) that was questioned.

If that's the case, then his warning level really needs to be lowered to that of just a verbal warning.

Well I hope you all are happy we didn't just "drop it." Point and case, I hope a lesson was learned here.

IN YOUR FACE!

YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT ASSUMPTIONS, WHEN YOU ASSUME YOU MAKE AN ASS OF U.

[*Podomaht*]

Throw some D's on that bitch.

[*I Viddy Horrorshow*]

Of course, given that his PM box has been full ever since I last tried to give him a verbal warning, I'm not entirely sure how much that can be held against Kaycee. But OK.

Ah the graphic quality has really declined. This isn't meant towards anyone in particular, but more the design staff as a whole.

Why are things like one, two, three, four, five and six being accepted? Wasn't it the general point of the cleanup and graphic submission rules to prevent the lower quality images from being accepted?

[*Duchess of Dork*]

^ Thanks for bringing that up Jackie. :) (Did I mention that you're already missed on Staff :( )

I accepted those, 'cept for the 5th one.
When going through graphics I accept ones I think can be used for other things, Like if someone wants to make an avatar or signature with them.
I don't really see anything wrong with them, especially the Digital paintings..

[Gypsy Eyes]

Even if they can be used for things (never said they couldn't be) they are still poor quality graphics. Keep in mind the some of the basic principles of graphic/photographic art.

For example, number four is nice and all but it's not crisp. Sorry if this comes out harsh but it looks like the pastel drawings people did in 6th grade. In number three, the lines are way too sharp and the outline makes it look cheesy. Besides, there is also a HUGE tag across the bottom corner. In number two it's a nice idea, but poor execution. The image has almost no contrast, and horrible composition.

Yes the mods obviously need to keep commercial value in mind when going through queue but Artistic merit (wrong word?) and quality should play a bigger role.

thank you for your personal opinion, but since you stepped down, you have no say what gets accepted right now. people are using their own judgment just as you did.

[Gypsy Eyes]

Excuse me? This is a place for suggestions and critique, I'm giving mine.

[*StanleyThePanda*]

I rejected the ones I had accepted and you had given criticism for.
I will try to be more... harsh(?) when going through queue.
I think I tend to be somewhat nice when going through it, so uh.. yeah. Sorry.

[Gypsy Eyes]

Oh it wasn't meant to be a personal thing at all, those were just on the first couple of pages.

[*StanleyThePanda*]

I know it wasnt personal, but those (most of those) were my fault. haha
We may need a house cleaning soon...

[Gypsy Eyes]

Before a house cleaning is done (if there is one) a definite set of rules should be written up and agreed on by all design-related mods to prevent the need for it again.

[*mzkandi*]

That's the thing, though. It's something that has been stated before, mods having differing standards. We do have guidelines in place but even with that, a mods opinion on what should be accepted or not accepted is going to vary from mod to mod when comes to individual submissions. I'm been pushing for very selective acceptance standards for a while now. Only the very best. I'll admit though, I way picky on what I accept. Maybe too picky?

[stay infinite]

I don't think you guys can get to picky. There are a lot of things that just shouldn't be accepted and like you have said Kiera, everyone has different standards and some peoples are just to low or their just to nice it almost seems.

No matter what though, there isn't really anything you can do from some stuff getting accepted that just shouldn't. That's why in most rejection letters people should at least copy something from the requirements/rules/ or even the moderators guide to show people what they can fix or why it was rejected and possibly what they could do to make it better so it can possibly be accepted the next go around.

[*WHIMSICAL 0NE*]

^ Making suggestions and letting people know why something they've submitted was rejected is optional. I think it really depends on the person. I try to include a reason why something was rejected and try to make suggestions. People aren't always open to suggestions from strangers about their work, so sometimes it can get discouraging.

I somewhat agree to the setting up rules and having all design-related staff agree to them. I agree a house cleaning should happen sometime in the near future.

The inevitable is that every mod is different as far as personal taste is concerned. We have guildlines and where the guildlines end our personal taste takes over. This doesn't mean that horrible things will be accepted or that their personal taste is too harsh and they just reject everything. They were chosen for design-related staff because they had an eye for well designed things.

[*relaxdontrelapse*]

Excuse me? This is a place for suggestions and critique, I'm giving mine.

you're excused. show my some things you accepted and i'll pick you apart for it. i understand this is for feedback, but there are different opinions on what should and shouldn't be allowed. obviously she used her best judgment and accepted what she thought was fair.

[*StanleyThePanda*]

^ Spenc, its okay. She said what she said, I accepted it and now its over with.
Plus, it wasnt really directed towards me.

btw, I've always adored you, and idk why. sorry if that sounds weird, but its true... *runs away*.

[*relaxdontrelapse*]

adored me?

[stay infinite]

Making suggestions and letting people know why something they've submitted was rejected is optional.

It is more preferred that you leave a suggestion or a explanation that the person's graphic/layout/or anything was rejected. If not you will more than likely have a PM box full of complaints and questions rather than thank you for your time's for leave a suggestion or an explanation.


well already the few know that a new house cleaning needs to come up soon. There is just a lot of stuff that shouldn't be here. But of course there really was some negative sides to the last house cleaning by some stuff shouldn't have been rejected or also it kind of discourages people from even submitting stuff again after they submitted it once, got it accepted, and now its being rejected.

[HakunaMatata]

My ability to post was revoked for three days because Arjuna_Capulong figured I was member bashing, instead of debating.

If you think that was member bashing, you have one diluted sense of argument and bashing.

Maybe that's why CB is so shitty. Mods suck.

Pussy. ( No, it's not bashing yet. )

How is the following not bashing?

It's people like you that make me ashamed to be Korean.
Do yourself a favor and kill yourself.

It's probably people like you that he wanted to kill. Why couldn't you have been in there?

Nice job, retard. You probably go around youtube commenting on pro-Korean videos and hating on other nations when some dude insults Koreans.

Thanks for being an embarassment, a-hole.

Every single one is extremely rude, offensive, unnecessary and ridiculous. Telling someone to kill themself is and will always be bashing. Arjuna was completely in the right to warn you for member bashing.

HAY MUDZ

Dudes don't take any of this personally, that's why my criticisms go against the mod team in generally (unless I'm talking about a specific action/s). I call em as I sees em.

So before you talk shit about me or podo backstage, remember that you guys are the ones making it personal, not me.

This is called a mod double standard.
