Well your idea is right, but a poll for each separate skin and stuff really exhausts things. Our userbase right now is small as it is, so polls would be a very insufficient way to resolve this.

well logokas, you're right, that can of course happen, so what? It's the same unlucky behaviour as if this 12 years old makes a skin within 1 hour and says "ey, cool, looks like metal (or wahtever), I'll upload it to the Xion site" , although it's crap and nobody really likes it afterwards. For that we have the feedback area, where everybody can tell what he likes or doesn't like, and can also tell the author if he chose the wrong category.

SLoB Wrote:yea thats why i posted ALAS i put altdefault in there by just changing its category to clone and noticed it not showing up, look up a couple of posts
SLoB Wrote:clone category not working Cliff, skin remains unchanged apart from adding it to that category
SLoB Wrote:also in manage skins page, can a current category be shown too? even if its not been assigned a category, atm there is no real way to tell apart from looking at all the categories
SLoB Wrote:also the rule you mentioned about putting skins in lots of categories, is there a maximum?
I've not checked if there is any logic stopping that in the category selection, I was tempted to put Abducted in both retro and futuristic but forgot about the rule you mentioned until reading it after this post
