Slut in the screenshots... -Sigh-

Published on May 24, 2003 By EventHorizon In WinCustomize Talk

I hate to do this, but....

I have noticed lately, that there have been a lot of unsavory additions to the screenshots library. I emailed Jafo about this and he deleted a number of them, but of course, they still keep comin' in. B1uesummers in particular with some others coming SS Goku etc. I am wondering if maybe screenshots arent obliged to go through moderation...That could be a prob.

To see what im talkin about go to... https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?library=13&SkinID=1973 Ok fine, thats just one, but ive been watchin the screenshots for a while and I dont like what I see...One IS worth removing so that we dont have little kids paying visits to the screenshots and saying, "Mommy, mommy, look at that!..."

Now some of you may not agree with me...(People's moral standards being different and all)...but I dont think its right for a "family site" to be displaying this kind of crap. Basically what Im asking is, could someone please remove the ones you see fit and to make sure these people dont do it again.

B1uesummers...I, as a moderator of submissions am still wondering whether you are simply submitting screenshots or are perhaps attempting to see how far things can be pushed...just to be controversial.

On one hand we have blandly unimaginative screenshots of no intrinsic creativity and on the other we have the female figure in various degrees of 'undress'.

I personally am more 'bothered' by the inanity of the screenshots than their perception of 'raunchy' content.

Try being 'creative' and imaginative, rather than controversial....no-one really cares for 'Piss Christ', you know...

BTW...this also applies to your latest upload '2 Psychopaths'....clearly an attempt tp push the limits of 'good taste'....pretty pathetic when you consider the spelling is so off as well...

There you go...for the 'serially embarrassed'....an acceptable 'nude'...from an ink on paper drawing, done by me in 1981...[any excuse for 'auto-spam']...

I guess the issue is not really with the 'what' but perhaps the 'how'...

Why is the spelling off? How is that screenshot in bad taste? I think it looks rather cool.

Like I said with the other one, just get rid of it. I'm not putting up a fight with it. Personally I think there is a lack of "character" screenshots in that section. Too much morphing/plain looking walls all over the place. As for the wood one I thought it was a nice change of pace in the overall look of pics. Nobody seems to want to use wood and even I don't but that doesn't mean it's not refreshing to see. I got the wall purely for the wood background. If I could I'd delete the girl in the wood background because she's not even that good to look at. Either way It's up to you whether I'm pushing the limits because the moderators decide whether it gets uploaded, so maybe "you're" trying to push the limits. I like a pic, want to see if others like it so I post it. If it's too much then bye bye pic and no hard feelings.

'pyscopaths' is really great spelling...says a lot for the educational standard of the alleged 'artist' of the wall...and considering the importance and prominence of the text it's pretty banal... Spell checker It'll stay in moderation until there is a 'popular' opinion of its motivation, worth and relevance.

You do realise we at times get submissions that are very definitely in poor taste, be you Mother Superior or Marilyn Manson and are rejected outright.

Others just push the limits and may be 'borderline'.

The wall depicting some alien bug-like creature messily copulating with a naked woman on a beach was one of the 'rejects', as was the homage to 9/ll a collage of photos including the scene of people falling to their deaths. I guess Joe Public is blithely unaware of the crud that gets submitted in the name of God-knows-what, but it is the prime reason that moderation of submissions even exists...

I find it offensive that anyone would post a thread with the word "slut" in it.

I can't help it if the person who made the wall couldn't spell. I don't think it hinders anything because its not like I was creating a poem and every part meant something. Here's my desktop, like it? Hate it? Do you have an opinion or have you found a skin that could make it look better?

That's all I'm looking for when uploading a screenshot.

I "realize" people can make errors and not see them at times.

Not picking on any body in particular but I think its funny that people keep posting about how they are offended by the title of the thread and by doing so keep elevating it to the top of the message board

Actually, you can 'help it'....if it's such a great wall apart from a few problems, as you mentioned...why not try your hand at modding the wall..correcting errors and removing the text line that you don't like....doing that would at least show creativity....whereas some people submit 3 or 4 screenshots every single day for heaven-knows what motivation, except perhaps 'look how quickly I can change my undies'...
