I know, you've heard the same thing a million times before, if you're sick of it, leave now. I merely wish to voice my opinion.

PMC Users,
I'm sure you've noticed the festering welt growing on our skin section.
More and more people are uploading mob skins, scribbles, mobs in suits, girl/teen skins, and it needs to stop.

These skins are simply taking up data space and page space and are making our (mostly) respectable community look lazy, talentless, and incompetent.
Just open a tab and go to the skin section right now, tell me honestly that you can't find a skin that is simply a copy, a recolouring, a scribble or a blob or colours hastily thrown onto a model. I mean, do people not have the patience to sit down for longer then 2 minutes and actually put some love and effort into something that represents our community? Surely, our society hasn't degraded that drastically in the short space of time it has existed.. has it?

The amount of skins that are simply a copied skin tweaked to look like new, a copy straight from the game files, or a blank canvas haphazardly strewn with pixels in a vain, misguided attempt to earn experience, which ultimately does nothing at all, is disappointing.

I expected people with more grace, more dignity, more of an attention span than some of the imbecilic drivel that inhabits the darkest corners of our domain, just waiting to tarnish our amazing libraries of data with their content, if it can be referred to as such.

Thank you for your time, I hope you enjoyed my little rant.
Have a nice day!

i HALF agree with the part about teen/girl skins. Like, teen skins are YES, overused, but when you said GIRL SKINS need to stop, well, why? Some girl skins are actually quite original. I'm just sorta bothered when you said that girl skins need to stop...

Another person that Agrees! :D the skins i make take me a few minutes and sometimes i just mess around with the skin to see what i want to make and after i make it find some time to make it better.What I think it is is that somepeople just want more XP and Levels.

i totally agree with you , but it looks like theres nothing to do to the fact that planetminecraft lets you upload nearly everything.
What do you plan? a filter or someone who sits there and looks at every upload to decide if its good enough? come on we have to live with these guys even if a lot of people here won't

Yeah, and it's a shame that the only thing we can really do is flag, and there aren't a lot of practical solutions aside from that.
Well if people remember to flag, we won't have this problem getting too big, will we?
