Being limited in what I can create at this time I tried my hand at some female mass murderers. No matter what I did I could not get them posted. There was always some excuse (pictures not good enough, need shots of real and simmies for compairison etc.) I complied with the wishes of the forum mod until I got to the point of the face shots were not close up enough to show the details and a week later someone had a celebrity posted without a real person photo for compairison (something I had been turned down for on my 3rd try to get these posted!). I wasn't able to get back on for a week or so but figured that it just wasn't worth the effort anymore. At that point I decided to forget posting my stuff and just check in from time to time to see whats new.
I had to interject here and please don't take this in any rude way. I approve the sim uploads on the site. Yes you did work hard on your upload I'm sure. However your first submission you had no pictures of who they were modled after- If someone happens to upload an Angelina Jolie sim (god lord help me please make them stop uploading her)
and it doesnt have a picture, but the post is dont properly with links and photos- The general population does in fact know what she looks like. So a celeb photo is not always required there.
The sims that you made were based on very old historical characters that the general population does not know. If you had not titled your post no one looking at those sims would be able to identify them for who they were. Its not saying your work is bad but that is outr main criteria. If you submit a sim based on someone it has to look like them without guessing. Approving uploads is not a personal issue. We dont reject things becuase we feel like it, or we dont like you. If you worked hard on the sims and they didn't look enough like who they were based on you can always upload to the "other" category as many have done. Celebrity sims have stricter guidelines than other sim uploads.
As far as the thread closing issue I also have to defend this. We dont deliberately get heavy handed for fun either. But with such a massive number of posts piling up, the forum requires a good hard cleaning once in a while. there are outdated posts, and double posts, and silly BBSer posts, so sometimes it does look like were being bullies but if we continued to let the foum pile up with wasted postings then we'd get complaints on how hideously sloppy it is. Its a no win situation.
And for those of you who hate the layout- I myself am not even a fan of it, However its really easy to navigate if you use the site map- atleast for me it is. I only like certain areas of the forum and I can easily find them by just using the site map button. Instead of getting upset and ranting elsewhere, we are always open to constructive comments on how to better the site. Theres a thread just for site suggestions.
Not everyone can be happy all the time- and we only try to keep in mind that the site is perpetually growing. Even if you decide not to go back, hopefully there was something on there that you found useful.
