having a wall you made getting deleted really hurts, but be positive about it,
take it as a challenge and try to improve. i post here and in another site, my
walls are far from gorgeous so i take every bit of advice they give me, and try
to improve my skills.
it's not about how long you take to finish a wall. extracting a character from a
scan can eat a lot of time, and fiters just a few minutes, paste it in a nice
bg, and wham, you think you have a quality wall, it doesn't work that way. are
you sure it blends well? i mean does your bg and image works well together or is
it just plain crap? plus do you have abit of personal touch in your work. i
think this are what the mods are looking for. not the length of time you spent
on it. you can make a wall in such a short time but still looks awesome, i doubt
mods will erase that.
again i reiterate, having a wall deleted should not be taken destructively, take
it constructively. look for tutorials and learn your craft. don't whine and
rant.it won't f*cking help
although i guess it'll be better that if mods delete walls, i hope you guys make
it a point of telling the author why it was deleted. a bit of advice too will
help.
i don't know really well what is your problem ... but i think you speak about a
wallpaper you had in 2 versions.
there was a post lately : http://forum.minitokyo.net/showthread/19939/
(read it)
to summarize they don't allow two versions of the same wall.
you said they deleted the poorest ; so it's ok, no ? the better one is still
online.
well excuse me i haven't understood your problem correctly. I just tried to help
you.
sorry... I mean, I am just getting started with making walls, and it takes hours
and hours to make them... even if they don't look amaziing. But yea, I'm sorry
for complaining. I do submit alot of scans of my work, and they take a long
time too. I hope those don't deleted, because they obviously take some skill,
time and years of practice.
I can possibly pinpoint the thing that gets people riled up more then anything
else. It's just the Bot's automated message. It doesn't pinpoint exactly what
catagory caused the Wallpaper/scan to be deleted, so naturally given a list,
it's going to erk people to no end. Oo Hell, it did me. To the point I went and
made a rant post (Which reminds me, any mods out there - can you please lock it
down now? The title is "okies. what gives." ty!).
Mind you, it wasn't the best route to do it, but after being told to read
tutorials and the policy areas (which I have read most of it, I haven't hit the
ones in the forums yet.) it tends to get rather annoying. And it took that
little ranting post to findout exactly -what- I had to work on to make the
wallpaper better. Personally, hey. If the wallpaper/scan I posted isn't good
enough. By all means, nuke the SOB from the site. Just give me a specific
reason.
Because in all seriousness, which would people prefer? A bot giving you a -list-
of things that may of caused you wallpaper/scan to be deleted or a bot (as hard
as it may be to do) giving you one or two of the exact reasons it was deleted?
"Poor extraction. To blurry." That's all.
Again, it's not having a wallpaper deleted, because as stated before, even the
Mods and Admins walls/scans are being deleted as well, it's the deletion message
that gets that annoyed meter rising with the simple question of "Which
friggin reason is it!?" Then again, I could be completely wrong. Who knows.
But I know it's how I felt when my walls were deleted and i'm just starting to
try and figure out Photoshop (And yes, thanks for the tutorial sites.)
Now before anyone says it, possibly for the upteenth time. I know that Botchii
is needed. It keeps the leechers and clutter down to a very very low minimum. As
well as frees up time for the Mods and Admins to further better the site. All
i'm wondering is, isn't there someway to program the Bot to give a specific
reason? I'm pretty sure if someones told the reason (or close to it) why their
work or scan was deleted, it'd really cut down on the complaint posts and
wouldn't discourage to many people with an entire list of "Maybe this is
why your wall was deleted.." ect ect...just a thought...><..Don't
hurt me! *hides*
Hi! Can any of you help me? Err, one of my wallpaper got deleted. Can I like
remake the whole wallpaper again so that it's better and resubmit it? Is this
action allowed or is it illegal? I don't wanna make the whole wallpaper again if
this is illega. So, please help. Yoroshku ne?
I like how wallpapers of better quality than most in a certain section are
deleted. Like, say, one that a person made a background for and played with for
hours as opposed to just plain large scans.

Yes you can
if you can show you have reworked on it. It doesn't mean it won't be deleted
again but it's not at all illegal to repost your wall after having reworked on
it. good luck.
hi
knows that the matter of the Wallpapers is very, too discussed, the submitting
another Wallpaper, me sincerely it discourages me very much after reading all
this Thread. what I had Pur fact having been unloaded and added between the
favourites by many people was cancelled. to be sincere I have not understood
neither the reason
the what I find worse not hearing from the Mod which has cancelled the Wallpaper
is really this the reason the automatic message of the Bot does not mean not at
all, does not explain what the reason is in the specific case and it is this
that the members would like to know when a Wallpaper is cancelled ( since they
think us before they will submit one well and become by time and I work knowing
that Cancellato.se will certainly come they submit him of sure they think they
are in rule ) however maybe I will make another attempt even if the not knowing
whether it will be cancelled or not worries Eheh

Bulls eye... what exactly was wrong with my wallpaper? I don't know! Let me
spruce it up and repost it. It's kinda hard to get feedback if the wall is
deleted withing several hours that it is posted, along with whatever feedback
was on it. Thanks a lot, botchii!
Well my Wallpaper was just deleted, and hgonestly I feel really depressed about
it now...I thought it was one of my best, and other people thought so too...I
just don't get it, what did I do wrong? Can anyone here give me a "Person
to person" reason as to how my Wall paper is too poor? Am I even allowed to
fix it and resubmit? I was so happy today, because I had gotten to 10, and I had
made some pretty nice Wallpapers...then this happends. That PM was just too
vague for me...
If anyone would like to tell me whats wrong with the Wallpaper that got deleted,
send me a PM sop I can show you =/.
Quote by mechdanI stopped submitting
altogether when I posted some of my work which I put a lot of effort into and
felt was perfectly good and easily on par with other posts. I naturally asked
myself the question, "What did I do wrong, and how could I
improve?"
The only answer I could come up with was that the deletion WAS rather arbitrary.
Well, I'm not mad about it--there's just too much stuff out there in the world
which really matters and this web site isn't one of them. There's no point in
getting upset over this site.
Of course, I'm not submitting anything here again, but that's apparently no big
loss.
Quote by mr_freakybigThe problem I
see with a few people, is that
in order not to offend the moderators in any way,
is by agreeing to everything. Why wouldnt you be angry if you
have spent your entire week on one wallpaper/artwork, then you
get an automated message saying your wall was crap and you
didnt spend more than 30 min on it? Whats the friggin logic in that??? You people, wake up and smell the coffee!
If you dont complain, noone will ever get the advice they seek
because everybody in here, posting their walls wont stand a chance
because of deletion, and because they only allow UBER artists on this page.
If you feel you want to complain just DO IT! dont say stuff like,
ooo but you know, I actually dont mind.. blah blah.
IF YOU mind, JUST TELL EM! Dont comment how NICE their sweater is or
something,
orr oooo I dont mind go ahead.. and delete the stuff you findd.!
Because on deletion of the one thing you really liked,
you will think otherwise, but .. youve already agreed to it didnt
you
I agree... I'm seriously pissed about this! That frickin' mod bot just deleted
every single picture I posted.... and they were all perfectly fine!!!!
grr...........
Ok I'll try this again now that I seem to be in the correct message board. Can
someone please answer without an insult about growing up or not being a baby
etc.? I truly don't know what the problem is and I can't know unless someone
takes the time to tell me.
I submitted my third wall today and it got deleted. I can't see what I did
wrong, so how can I not do it again? People seemed to like it, it was only up a
very short time and got 14 DL and 5 favorites in less than a couple hours time.
I was really excited and happy. It's very discouraging to be a newcomer and try
your best and then have it taken away like that, we're not all professionals.
Can someone please look and tell me what I did wrong? Did I write something
wrong in my post or is there something wrong in the wallpaper itself? Someone
please help me understand what I did wrong. I tried really hard on that and I
think it turned out lovely and like I said, 5 people had already marked it as
favorites, so how can it be so bad tht it needs deleted? I feel so discouraged
now, at least if I have an explantion I would know what the problem is. Thank
you for your time.
First I took the garden image and made it have a more anime/cartoonish feel to
it so that it would fit together smoothly with the little girls. Next, I
extracted the little girls from their background. I cleaned up the little girls
scan picture and made the colors more vibrant so they would stand out. I added a
some bursts of lights coming from the opening in the trees to give the photo a
realistic touch to it. I added some sparkles in the grass where the morning
light would hit the leaves of the trees and shrubs. Finally I added the first
words I thought of when I saw this wallpaper, 'Tranquil Gardens' to the photo,
along with a fade to make it stand out more. This wallpaper was deliberately
kept soft and simple without blasts of fireworks and a ton of bright colors
and/or special effects to keep the feeling of tranquility, I hope you like it.
Quote by MoonlightEternityWell,
i'm new, and i've had all my wallpapers (3 so far) deleted, but i'm beginner so
i'd just like to point this out. I'm with a lot of people when they say that
their walls shouldn't be judged. Its all true, but i guess the thing with the
mods deleting "bad-quality" walls is that they don't give a reason.
they should comment, or PM the person, and tell
them why they think its bad-quality I've seen Susan-chan's works and they
are very very good.
I agree with that, i'm still new and so far 3 of my wallie had been deleted. i
feel sad because i've done it from scratch and i didn't steal nyone's work. It's
mine.
But i think i too wish that when the wallie is deleted, PM us personally or give
appropriate reason.. don't just put the same kind of words (the one who receives
it more than one times like me probrably had memorised the words..) when telling
us about the deleted wallie.. I put a lot of effort to do it so please, i can
accept the heartless thing but please tell the exact thing..
I'll join the club ...
one of my wallpapers were deleted too, but it was one of the worst wallpaper I
ever made I'm glade they deleted it XP, now before I post any wallpaper
here I'll make sure its good enough to posted on this site
I'm a little late on this (like 20 weeks actually), and I have mixed feelings
about this.
On one hand, I think asking for more quality is a good thing. I don't really
like wallpapers with only a gradient effect and then a character plastered on
there submitted. That took no effort. All you did was drag your mouse across the
screen, got an effect you thought "looked cool" then copied and pasted
a character. On the flipside, I can clearly see effort made by wallers like
Sammo (one of my favorite wallers here), so there's obviously a big difference
in overall quality.
OTOH, I do think just deleting a wallpaper because it isn't -that- great is
pretty extreme. Beginners who work hard creating effects on their own and spend
hours doing so having it erased is cold. Especially if all you get is "Bad
quality" That's not even including the fact that every waller will have a
different idea of what quality is. There's so much on the line that isn't going
to be justified by BotChiis "Bad quality" reason.
Finally, I think complaining is only natural here. For all of the people who
disagree, I think you are being pretty gruff about it. I mean, if you really
worked hard on something and then have somebody spit in your face by saying it
wasn't quality enough, can you really say you weren't pissed off? I can
understand wanting to improve in the long run because of the stern rules, but
that doesn't mean they're not going to be angry. It's really only a reaction
that we'll get upset. I seriously doubt wallers think "Oh well, my
hardworked on wall got deleted. I'll just chalk if up to experience and walk
away, not having even discussed it." People who had their confidence shot
will want to complain. Please don't just give them the cold shoulder by telling
them not to complain.
Anyways, that's my two cents. I agree and disagree.
I have a suggestion regarding this topic though. Perhaps you could make a new
submission gallery titled something like "sketches/criticism" where
people can post pieces that they'd like some ideas with. For instance, if
someone is learning how to make walls, they can post what they currently have
then get feedback to help them learn. just my 2 cents.
I agree that the mods should state a reason for deleting a wallpaper. It will
just take a couple more seconds to do. If they don't have time to write
something like "the character is grainy" or "the edges around the
character are jagged" then perhaps they are too busy to be a mod and should
reevaluate the job they hold. Really, it doesn't take much time to give a
little advice and it will save the site from the kind of frusteration you see in
this thread.
my wall just got deleted http://img299.echo.cx/img299/1676/pictureframe1ii.jpg
because i used another wall in it ... but
"Usage of stock pictures such as found on Minitokyo may be featured on your
submission, but at least some parts must show your creative side."
i made everything else and just used someones wall inside the frame ... i did
everything else. i dont think i broke the rules ... because of that quote up
there. i gave credit to the person who made the wall. so ... uh ... is it me or
was the deletion wrong.
Hooo boy if only I could count the number of my wallpapers that got eradicated
from this site and the frustration I've felt at the mods at such a choice.
Also, guys, you've got haters out there that are buddies with some mods and will
think of some crappy excuse that sounds plausible and get a submission deleted.
Sounds conspiracy theory crazy, I know, but I swear it's true...
Aaanyway, don't worry about it, just relax and keep on trying. I know I do.
hey man..... my wallpaper "swirly sephiroth 2.0" got deleted, but the
original swirly sephiroth did not. also, i don't think its fair for the
moderators to judge quality, since 2 people added it to there favorites within
about 20 hours after posting it.
having a wall you made getting deleted really hurts, but be positive about it, take it as a challenge and try to improve. i post here and in another site, my walls are far from gorgeous so i take every bit of advice they give me, and try to improve my skills.

I'm laughing...
The bot deleted one of my wallpapers but it's was the second version. The first wasn't
And I think you've understood .... thebetter was deleted
Ok, it's not the better wp of every time, but i think putting my wall in the category "baaad work" is a bit unfair. t_t
i don't want to cry but I don't think I'll upload the same once again because the "better" version is still online xp
i let you think about your "great idea" wich is in the mind of these last years (I think it's clear)
Juste a precision : I'm not upset, but this manner of making is so basic and unwise that
I can only express me.
edit : I changed, it's the better wich was deleted and the poorer is stil online (sorry ^^:)
@ Molokai :

You can see the wallpaper here:
http://findscan.com/GardenWally2.jpg
This was my post here on Minitokyo:
The little girls scan came from here:
http://www.animevisions.net/kimono.php?2
The original background photograph is here:

First I took the garden image and made it have a more anime/cartoonish feel to it so that it would fit together smoothly with the little girls.

just because people et done with their wallpapers fasted then others doesn't mean the quality is poor!

Really, it doesn't take much time to give a little advice and it will save the site from the kind of frusteration you see in this thread.
my wall just got deleted
http://img299.echo.cx/img299/1676/pictureframe1ii.jpg
because i used another wall in it ... but
"Usage of stock pictures such as found on Minitokyo may be featured on your submission, but at least some parts must show your creative side."
i made everything else and just used someones wall inside the frame ... i did everything else. i dont think i broke the rules ... because of that quote up there. i gave credit to the person who made the wall. so ... uh ... is it me or was the deletion wrong.
Hooo boy if only I could count the number of my wallpapers that got eradicated from this site and the frustration I've felt at the mods at such a choice.
Also, guys, you've got haters out there that are buddies with some mods and will think of some crappy excuse that sounds plausible and get a submission deleted. Sounds conspiracy theory crazy, I know, but I swear it's true...
Aaanyway, don't worry about it, just relax and keep on trying. I know I do.
hey man..... my wallpaper "swirly sephiroth 2.0" got deleted, but the original swirly sephiroth did not. also, i don't think its fair for the moderators to judge quality, since 2 people added it to there favorites within about 20 hours after posting it.
