Moderators do your job...

Published on July 21, 2005 By -OZZY- In WinCustomize Site Issues

i think it's strange to see that a skin submitted a couple days later then another getting moderated sooner...
there prolly r different moderators for different sections, but to be honest, i don't care...it's not an excuse...
skins should be moderated by date, no matter the section...ok, that's it...thx

Hey -OZZY-,

Thanks for posting your concerns.

We appreciate having the opportunity to grow and improve our services for our paying customers, such as your self. And we truly thank you for supporting the community and our site. As you might have imagined, we are in the process of enhancing features and improve reliability of the site. At the moment, we are focusing more of our immediate resources on solving the recent server issues. Sorry in advance for any trouble you've experienced.

As far as moderating, this is limited to human intervention and deliberation. There isn't a whole lot that can be done in this area, as this is based on many factors that are beyond the control of any one person. KarmaGirl mentioned some of those factors earlier and I'll spare everyone from beating a dead horse.

As a full time employee of Stardock, I know how much work & money is put into WinCustomize. Believe me when I say that quite a lot of time and money is poured into WinCustomize. Unfortunately, I'm just one of only a few people that work on all of Stardock's websites and there are dozens of sites to contend with! We're kept quite busy. LOL If I were to look at WinCustomize from a business point of view, I would think Stardock to be crazy for dumping so many resources in to a website that doesn't come even close to turning a profit. Yet I see the passion and commitment that Stardock has to the community and it astounds me.

I do see where you're coming from in regard to getting more help and volunteers. One of the things that we strive to do here is make this site one that can be operated more so by volunteers. As it stands, some critical systems are not quite in place yet to support more community assistance, but they will be. They just take time to develop.

With that said, thank you for posting your concerns. It's to be commended that you're willing to assist us and the community as well with your time. You never know, we might be contacting you for a volunteer position.

Keep up the great work as well!

the fact of the matter, ozzy, is that if you have been around here long enough (and not just on the the wc site) and talked to the people who actually run and administer the site, you would have a far better understanding of what goes on 'behind the scenes'. threads such as this one, and others within the same vein, really are not needed and do nothing but cause angst among and between menbers. us older folks, both in age and membership, have seen so many threads like this that each and every one seems senseless. and it's like i tell my kinds on occasion, i wish i could know as much now as i thought i did when i was 15 - 25. that's not meant as an insult. it's just the truth.

there's probably a good reason for threads like this to keep appearing then eh...!?
guess i wasn't to far off...seems they do need more volunteers

anyway, dark-star...finally someone with a positive look at "criticism" ...if u can call it that...much like the skinners around here like to get comments on their work positive or negative, it helps them...this isn't any different...
i believe stardock is putting a lot of money in WC but in return they get advertisement and customers...so they prolly get some of it back...maybe u should work together even more...
i got a phonecall, and completely forgot where i was going, let's just leave it at this then...
