First, thanks to all who made an effort to comment on my behalf, especially to dekurvajo. I really appreciate that someone is willing to give his effort and time for others.

Dzinc, I completely understand your part here and I fully accept your explanation on this. Eventhough some keywords were deleted, my point wasn’t lost, so that is okay. About the flagging… I do hope that any abuse of the system is in fact detected and sanctioned.

Regarding my previous posts, I admit, I wasn’t exactly thoughtful. Sometimes it’s just so hard to stay cool and speak on general. The thing is, the level of inconsistency and unfair treatment is lately so high, that one can simply get into an unpleasant mode. Quality issues and inconsistent prices are just two of so many issues here.

I know things are never just black or white. I can imagine that reviewing is not an easy task, so I wouldn’t solely blame reviewers here. Probably the reviewing system isn’t exactly as optimized as it should be. Also, I actually don’t mind if people submit simple stuff to this marketplace, but such items should be priced accordingly. On the other hand, this marketplace should never be a place for low quality items.

Just one more thought… Whenever we talk about old and new authors, we often like to equal old authors with quality and new authors with the opposite. I think that is not quite fair. There have always been some subpar items on GR, the difference now is only in the increased quantity of those.

Wow, I didn’t expect GR will ever go this way… You obviously don’t need to learn much or have much skills these days to get your work up here. Just saw [an item] for $5.

Oh well, this all came out completelly out of the context and awkward. I know the rules and try to obey them, and so I think the flag and the brackets weren’t necessary here. I actually didn’t indicate any name or give any link to any item. As far as I recall, I’ve only used a few keywords [removed], not an actual name of the item or anything like that.

Anyhow, my point here wasn’t to show disrespect. I was just rather surprised by some accepted items, which was made by use of the Photoshop [term] effect. I still remember how strict (but right) was once this marketplace regarding the use of such effects in items for sale. It was clearly stated that one can not just open a Photoshop, pick a couple of colors from a pallet, choose a given effect from drop down menu, and voila… “There you have it!”.

Apparently this and many other rules, are almost completely gone. This place was once full of talented, creative and skillful designers. Now, it’s turning into something completely different. And, yes, I have to agree with most of the comments in this thread.

I´m really able to understand the feelings of the “older” authors here which deny to design and upload new items due to the fact, that a majority of those new authors is copying, not creating! And this is really sad.

Whoever flagged my post as inappropriate… Bravo! Well done!

I come here after more than six months to express something that is solely an observation, I get censorship. A censorship for a sentence or two on an overpriced subpar items! If my post will remain hidden or even get removed, then I guess I know even more where I stand regarding GR.

Congrats Rafael! To the next 1000 sales!

Wish you all a happy, healthy and prosperous 2013!

Oh, never mind. I can see there’s so many other, more important things or issues to be solved first around here…

Too late for my items to be moved? Btw, there’s still a lot of UI elements in the Web Elements – Miscellaneous section. I guess many designers didn’t see this announcement.
