I'm very, very sick of the skins people post. Scrolling down the list....
-Steve skins
-"Teenager"/"Girl" skins
-Stolen skins
-More steve skins
-Unshaded blobs of color
-Garbage
-More steve skins
-More steve skins.

Now, I know I can report stolen skins (yay!) and even steve skins (alright! :D) but think about it. I can't do anything about the "teen"/"girl" skins nor the pathetic skins. They remain there, splotching up the list of skins for eternity.

Just look around. Scroll down the list. Go through 10 pages of the "recent" skins and then write down how many of those skins you would personally wear. Here's my number: zero. Occasionally there's a suitable skin on the list from a good skinner, but very rarely.

We've all seen this problem. We've all lived with it, or even ranted about it like I'm doing. But what can we do? Nothing. Nothing at all. Unless we go through and teach the hundreds of terrible skinners (who are incompetent fools most of the time) how to actually make a good skin, it will remain this way. We need a way to stop the terrible skins from pouring in.

Now if you look at my page, yeah, I'm not the best skinner. Especially when I first joined here, I made pathetic skins with noise. Since then I've improved and I still am improving. But those people who post teenager skins and steves in suits, I can legitimately say that no, they are not improving nor are they going to.

Thus brings my rant to a conclusion (or lack thereof). Until Cyprezz does something about it, which will almost certainly never happen, we're doomed to eternal suffering in the clutches of novice skins.

I agree fully with you. I've been there before, and I openly admit I've made one of the teen skins as a request. But now they're getting old especially with every other person making one. I also know I'm not the best skinner, but I'm improving everyday. But I don't like how we have some skinners out there that don't try to improve, they just keep making horrible skins that no one will use. Sorry if this offends anyone, but I agree with RipClaw fully, I wish something was done to filter out the horrible skins, and the generic ones as well, to make room for skins that deserve to be noticed.

Exactly. "Make". Yes, I 'made' a 'steve' skin. I didn't take it from the jar and scribble on it.
