How much longer do I have to put up with this?

Ratings Abuse? NO. I must be mistaken...

What is the person, rating this wallpaper with 1 1/2 star, qualified for? Absolutely nothing. My rating to his job: Moronic - no star.

I agree FilkoSE.

It seems very strange to give it a bad rating since it's
neither a bad design nor a bad execution.

What gives?

Looks like a moderator rated you, so I'd guess he/she is qualified.

I have to say, that is a pretty low rating for that skin. I've seen crappy walls with better ratings than that. Something ain't right there.

perhaps they rated it on whether they like it or not, instead of how well its made

Indeed. I don't like walls with centered round images very much, but I just gave it a 10 because it's a very good looking work, very well done. Perfectly designed.

Well at least a 5 has been given to it.
Now what would you say abot the following:
Fall Forest (1024 x 768)?
- only zero rated.

I think it's nice. I'm not sure about the rating, but could it have to do with the opacity of the center section as it passes over the cable/conduit thing on the left? Looks like something is amis there, but maybe you wanted it that way. It's hard to know. Great design!!

I think the walls with the centered round images are overdone. (Even though I have done soem myself)...but this wall should have more stars.

And I agree with this, though I wouldn't say 'crappy'. (Mostly cause I am sure some of mine fall in this category.

)

This wall started out as a 1 star rating, and in a few days worked it's way up to 4 on its own. No postings about the rating, comments, or emails to the admins claiming foul play. (Excluding this one of course

) Even though it was a bit of a letdown at first, it does good to remember low ratings don't mean abuse anymore than high ratings can; demanding a high rating means you believe everyone MUST like your wallpaper, if they don't like it they are lying. That's kind of backwards as to how ratings are supposed to work.

Everyone feels the sting of the truth from peoples opinions at some point in time, you would have to know why someone rated the way they did before you could say it is abuse.

Now what would you say abot the following:

I would say that is BS. I gave you 5 stars!!!

Got a 0 star I suspect because it's just a wallpaper turned into a logon. There's no effort involved in that. It's a great wallppaer but a pretty unremarkable logon screen.

I like the wall but yeah it must be that there has been quite a few already done so the orginality is gone...

0 ratings are always a glitch I thought.

0 ratings are always a glitch I thought

If they are, then I have had the same glitch on one of my walls for several months now.

Unless the '0' ratings are a glitch, I would guess that only the mods can give them. There's no way I can see to give no stars.
The worst rating that can be given by a normal user that can rate would be a '1' star, meaning "I hate it".

... always thought that one was a bit strange ... hate directed at an object. What did it ever do to you? Sorry, I'm rambling ...
