^^ You can leave, we hate you... lol jk. :D

It's nothing against you, it's just your a prime example of what everyone is annoyed with, not that your the cause. You have some nice skins that deserve a WOW, but some even yourself said that they were crap, but barely a second after a skin member looks at it:
{WOW}

So don't take it personally on you, everyone has their good and bad skins, and some of the ones that even you yourself didn't like got WOWed instantly, just because it's you, and you have lots of WOWs.

Yeah... that's a valid reasoning. 'cept that a lot of staff posted in mine... said it was sweet. Didn't get a {WOW} until I asked James tho. ><

Like I said in another topic, even if the member doesn't like their own skin, I'm still going to wow it if I think it deserves credit. And I also said that I am on almost all day, which is why some wows come quickly.

The thing is too, they'll look at your skins right away, and WOW them instantly. Some of my really good ones sit their for hours/days till they get noticed. And I know the staff doesn't have to look at every skin, but when I think I have made a really nice skin, I really want it to get seen.

I think a stricter WOW now needs to be in order. Tons of skins are making WOWs, some deserve it, some not so much. Maybe recruit some review team (only 1 or 2), and make a rating system that can be used for skins that are considered good, based on:

Choice of Colors
Gradients
Cool Effects
Default Free
Flow of the Skin

well, like someone said in another post, there are way to many groups already...and i dont think the WOW! system needs different people doing it, just needs to be a bit more strict...maybe nothing is wrong?

Not anymore groups, but more members to the Reviews team is what I said. And lots of skins are getting WOWed, I think it's time to make it more strict, so that more members put more effort into skins, thus better skins and skinners will be produced.

OMG I just picked a random example of a member.
ITs like angel too. I saw angel post a skin and later it was wow'd. I did not think it should be wow'd because it was simple and unprofessional and sloplly put together but hey its the staff thats hating.
I saw an .af skin that looked lie my Cascade red. His was wow'd mine wasn't

Angel's skin was decent though, it didnt have defaults either.
You must consider that.

I think that typically the skin team looks at the skins of the members they know first, Adamo for example. If I see one of his skins I look at it right away because I know he is a good skinner. Then I look at the other skins on the page. It's just habit for me.

.AF it's not your fault you can skin well.

I talk alot in a lot of places, and my skins I've produced are good quality, and people like them, it's just for some reason, no one thinks of SyringeX when a good skinner topic comes up :S And I like to get recognition when I create something I like :huh:

But the thing is, James and goeyoshi, and I are trying to bring up is that people are only looking at people who are producing skins 24/7, and when someone who doesn't post as much skins comes and its awesome, no one really cares.

And then when a battle comes up, say I challenge Lightz or .AF or Adamo, tons of posts would come after saying "Oh you are s0 g0ing t0 b3 0wn3d and r0x0r3d by whoever" And it really does get annoying.

Another thing I hate is when people challenge a good skinner, and in a topic they say "Oh, I'm going to be so pwned by you :P " Every skinner can be beaten, AF has, Adamo has, Lightz has, and so on so on(No offense to you guys, if anything it's a compliment ;) )...

I think everyone just needs to start taking time to truly look at skins, and really look what other people have to offer, instead of supporting just one person, because there are lots more of us skinners here, I'm sure there's awesome skinners here that I don't know.
