I agree. The sooner they get nuked the better.

It takes A LOT to get me riled and they've done an adequate job of it. I'm starting to get nasty now. Makes me want to dump all my CC. To hell with it. Well, I'd have to weed out the non-TSR things of course.

Hmmm... that is rather amusing. She's being a real good TSR Ambassador there.  :lol:

Well... if memory serves, on the submission page, at the bottom, in a box, there is a disclaimer (and, uh, DISCLAIMER is spelled wrong too, like discaimer or something retardo) and in there it basically says TSR owns your shit and they can distribute it any way they so please.

I'd like to remove my shit from there as I'm working on my own site now. The recent changes have pushed me over the edge. I agree with netseeker. I'm surprised she's still on there and not dead by the T Mafia. Oh well, I don't have that much up there and I can put better stuff on my site. I still have a sub, but I think I'll be contacting PayPal about that soon enough.

Ok, I looked. Here's the shit at the bottom when you submit something:

Disclaimers & Important Information

You should also be sure not to use other creator's bases for your own work without gaining their permission first, and properly crediting them. Any submitters sending work that is not rightfully their own may have all of their work removed from TSR and be banned from submitting in future.

By submitting files to us you are giving us (The Sims Resource) permission to host those files permanently and to be distributed via any media (electronic or physical). Files sent in a different format may not be used on the site due to the amount of work involved building previews and correcting errors. If you want your work featured here, please take the time to submit it properly.

 I have read and agree to the dislaimer

Even better, it's misspelled as DISLAIMER, like dis is laimer dan anyting.

Surelyfunke - LOVE the huge post.

I've been back on TSR this morning checking on "the thread". God, it's going crazy and the admin and FAs are still spreading warm, fuzzy bullshit and belittling the "little" people. If they got knocked off their FA highhorse because of the new system they'd be pissed too, but it doesn't effect them. Bah, stating we all start from zero and they lost their gold cups too, whatever. They're FAs, they'll have it all back in a day. I don't have any sympathy for those skanks. Their shit doesn't stink over at TSR and they get whatever they want. It's obvious now that it was all the FAs bitching about the downraters and wanted a new system put in. What? Can't take the heat of someone not liking your shit creations? Perhaps they really are shit, ever think of that?

Yeah, TSR Ambassadors. I think we already know who those will be. Jesus.

Aw jeez, you think Tom will buy out Carla? Ew. That would just add another heap of shit to the site.

Ya know, it's not a bonfire unless you can see if from space! I think TSR going splodey would qualify as that.  :wink:

Hey, here's another goody from that thread:

by AmberDiceless

Would it be possible to keep track of how many total thanks and/or recommendations we've received somewhere so we can see it at a glance?

Also, I have to ask, is rating by number of downloads really going to be that much more accurate than the five-star system? Granted, it won't be possible to downrate someone maliciously, but won't creators who take artful screenshots or who have many friends they can recruit to download their items now have an unfair advantage?

And isn't there anything you can do to compensate creators who have just lost their award status because of the changes? An honorable mention, something? I won't say it's devastating to have it taken away, but it's certainly discouraging. Seems like every new change that's come along recently has taken something else away from the non-FA's or added questionable value to the site at best, and cumulatively it's becoming kind of a bummer.

I echo that bummer Amber. I really do.

Hey, that's good! Yes. Yes it is.  :lol:

I hear you on the timebomb thing. I'm sure I'll be there when it happens. I wouldn't want to miss it for the world. You can just feel the angst growing.

I'm having a hard time keeping my mouth shut in that thread. I'll get killed if I say what I really think and then I won't be able to go on and piss certain people off anymore.  

I see the abuse of thank yous coming. Like a hurricane. God, I remember so many "comments" I've gotten on my stuff that were lame, lame, lame. I almost replied back just to say "you just want kudos you little fucker". BUT I didn't.

Let people do stuff out of the goodness of their own heart. Then they'll mean it. Expect nothing in return. But, Thomas isn't honest so how can he expect his members to be honest?

I bet it's nuked already.  :lol:  I read it though. Thomas has already threatened that poster a couple times. I imagine sooner or later they'll disappear.

I have to admit though, from a creator standpoint. I've lost my interest as well. This may have just been the straw that broke the llama's back.

Oooohhh, you noticed that too. Yeah, I'm ready to puke reading it now. It's going nuts but it really is that. Kiss the asses of TSR admin and the FAs and you'll live. Tell Thomas what you really think of his grand plan and you get nuked. Mmmm... sort of reminds you of communism.

Thomas is a time bomb waiting to go off. He's already gone off. Windkeeper has gone off. And now this "news" thing and new thread for the bullshit is causing more FAs to go off, and some SAs.

Odd though, I was a silver award holder prior to this and now I've been wiped from the face of the map. I'm not anywhere to be found on any of the creator lists. Although, I can't say I really want to be on any of Thomas's lists. But still, a silver to nothing?

Actually, you can tell PMBD is making an impact because at least one of the comments in the batch that was deleted went something like... "as long as we're copying MTS2 why don't you make everything free". I'm assuming that poster is no longer alive.

I know. He can't take criticism. He must have low self-esteem.  :lol:

Yeah, the comments from the news article got nuked and he didn't bother including any of them in the new thread, as certain posters pointed out. And they pointed out it was improper of him and then he returned fire with a threat and deleted posts. Jerk.

Yeah, complain and we'll delete your post. Oh, but if our FAs bitch about something we'll listen and change the site accordingly, even if only one person bitches. If they're high enough, he'll jump.

I was "lucky" enough to be part of the initial attack when the new article came out so I got to read all the good stuff. Valid concerns. The changes aren't fair nor do I think they will even the playing field as the FAs decided to pipe in and state. Yeah, you guessed it, Windkeeper had to say her piece.

EXACTLY! It wasn't broke! Don't touch it guys! Jeepers.

I've given Thomas my 2 cents on every change. I'm usually not in favor of any of them. I can't see how they make TSR better. It wasn't bad to begin with and just because some people whined doesn't justify a change for the many.

And yeah... that ONE of MANY gets me. How much more are they going to screw up the site and piss more people off? And he's bitching subscriptions are going down? Not only do the standards for CC need to go up and all that crap weeded out but he needs to stop messing with things.

:lol:  I figured you all knew. Somebody has to keep an eye on that site, as much as you don't like it. It really is going downhill fast.

You guys most likely don't frequent TSR but I check in every day just to see what nonsense is up. Another new FA added to the heap. Forwardmotion now.

And, there's a news article up today that they gutted the ratings system and just went to a thank you thing. I lost my silver status and the kudos to go with it and now all my items I downloaded are gone as well. Guess it's not needed since we can't rate any more. I sort of used it to keep track of what I hadn't tested in my game though. Or compare a Photoshopped image on TSR to the piece of crap that got put into my game.

I always got fair ratings and was once at gold status, but eventually went silver. I was still happy. I like silver better than gold anyway.    But... I also get thanked a million times over in my guestbook so I never felt I wasn't appreciated. But then again, I really don't give a shit what other people think of my stuff. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I choose whether or not to accept it.

I dunno, I think it was another stupid move for TSR. At least, as a creator I feel that way. Just makes me want to get my own site up faster. Don't worry, it will all be free. Well, unless I need to upgrade my computer or need a kidney transplant. Then I'll have to make it donation.  :lol:

 :lol:  Perhaps that's why he killed it. It wasn't the stomp, it was the explosion.

Aren't those the kind of dogs you hear about people sitting on by "accident"?  :lol:
