For everyone that agreed with the points I made here, meander on over to my first post to start spotlighting undervalued users http://www.planetminecraft.com/blog/in-the-wastelands-of-pmc-the-great-talent-hunt-1/

I <3 you JK

Man, this is the best blog I've ever seen so far :D

I totally agree with u, I'm really tired of people not giving diamonds if they really like the project and have the nerve to download it.

Another thing that bothers me is when people download but don't leave a diamond. If you take the time to download it then surely you can press 1 more button right? But no, I have some things that have 20 downloads but no diamonds at all. If you like it enough to download it, you should be kind enough to diamond it too, right? I diamond everything that I download.

Wow! I got on this afternoon and see this on the blog pop-reel. That's actually pretty good because it spreads the message around.
@AslanGrants: I couldn't agree more. So often I look at recent skins or builds and see something that obviously took allot of time and effort that receives hardly any attention let alone Diamonds. Take this guy for example

These are quality skins but he's still a level-one.

Click on my nick and follow these instructions people! XD

I'm starting to think that diamonds are more about popularity now. I notice that people who are higher levels generally receive more diamonds for work that is of the same quality, and some times, lesser than someone who has very few levels. But I assume that's mostly from the amount of subscribers. Which is understandable, but people who aren't subscribed will generally not leave a diamond to a specific user, and it's often times odd. But the fact when someone who isn't very popular releases something original and nice, it flies under the radar almost completely. But when someone who has a large number of subscribers or who has a larger level than someone else releases something that a) isn't original, or b) has been done too many times already is almost instantly flooded with diamonds. And it makes earning diamonds and support for players of a lesser level much harder to get and much more time consuming. Like this, for example. A new account for someone who obviously has skills in shading comes off of SkinDex or some other skin posting site and posts something good and original to PMC, it barely gets noticed, let alone diamonded, whereas a level thirty or so skinner puts out something that took maybe ten minutes gets at least twelve and pop-reel within an hour. But, maybe that's just how I think about it. But either way, here's a diamond, mate. In show of support. ^-^
