As many of you know, there is over 1300 pix in the potd system, and we need to get rid of some. Obviously, some will be corrupted or duplicates or just plain bad. But I suspect the majority will be atleast "decent". I'm thinking of removing all pix more than 6 months old for starters, regardless of quality, and see where the number drops to. Question is, how...
Firstly, we are still sometimes getting POTD's submitted by email. Please note that I automaticly delete these, whether they are BMP or JPG. They need to be submitted to the POTD queue on the site, not emailed like a file, unless you are sending a pack of them you'd like posted in the wallpapers, in which case they need to be zipped with a readme, even if th...
Recently we have received a number of edited images, or images that weren't taken in bridge commander at all: As most of you probably know it is against site rules to submit a POTD which does not come straight out of Bridge Commander. The only bending of this rule comes for resizing of large images. However submitting CGI renders, or adding a torpedo here...
Nebula here asking all BCfiles members to please not send in any more POTDS for at least the next 2 weeks. I just deleted about 100 to 200 pics that were for no reason going to make it and just were waisting space. Anyway we have enough pics in the archive to last us at least half a year lol... This clean out has uncovered many MANY possible POTDs th...
As you may remeber, I said there was going to be a queue cleanup after newyears. There are Currently no images older than Dec 1st to be posted. All were deleted after being first downloaded. This bunch will be sorted for anything that is total waste, the posted. Aanything exceptional may be reuploaded by staff and posted over the next week or so. This reduce...
Well, the POTD list is getting large again, well over 100 pix. The vast majority seem to get dissed anyways, so begining January 1st, or shortly there after, I intend to flush the queue. All pictures submitted earlier than Dec 1st will be removed for certain. Whats left will likely be closely examined, and poor quality items similar to what seems to be ge...
Well, you aint seen nothin yet. Feast your eyes on this garbage. Everything from bad lighting and non-exsistant AA, to totaly pointless ship arganment and crappy graphics. I must warn you, these pictures may cause vomiting and temporary blindness. These wont even make it to the POTD packs...
I've just cleaned POTD. Of the 227+ pictures submitted, I have found 39 that are actualy worth posting. I deleted atleast 20 POTD featuring stock ships. Another 20 or so were blatant photoship edits, another 10-12 containing someones idea of hilarious text (must of which was retarded) and several more where people added their own borders, backgrounds, ect, a...
A lot of BCFiles users have been abusing every single PotD that is posted, and the people who post them. Since we cannot find and ban the troublemakers, the PotD comments have been disabled until further notice. The staff are getting tired of editing people's abusive posts and having to focus most of their energy into moderating the PotD comments. If certain...
Meant to validate it for today and deleted it instead. Was titled " a matter of internal secutiry within the empire" Plz resend the pic.
No more Starwars POTD. POTD for stargate and other genre's will be deleted. Well, except for the nsea protector and the megamaid from spaceballs...but otherwise, startrek only. I am sick of the constant whinning. From the ratings, nobody appreciates them anyways.
These are the new posted size limits: Minimum picture resolution is 800x600 pixels. Anything under this will result in an error and thus won't be added to the moderating queue. Maximum picture resolution is 1280x1024 pixels. Anything bigger will be proportionatly downsized automatically. Also, only pictures made with bridge commander will be accep...
Profiler has asked me not to delete the potd archive. So the archive will stay the way it is. I have, however, deleted all comments for all POTD from the beginning to current, giving us a fresh start. Comments for the space shuttle columbia were not deleted, and none of the ratings were reset. You are welcome to go back and still comment or vote on any past...
