Wallpaper section = Purgatory of art.
Okay, I just read a reply on a Naruto wallpaper. The wallpaper was an obvious artbook scan, all the person did was use a gradiant over it.

Now, thats not the point of this post. The point is...The person who replied. Tassium just complained about someone who used a scan...Okay, thats good. However, She herself has 790 wallpapers, MOST of which are in fact...you guessed it! Manga scans and artbook scans!

Hypocritical yes?

I swear...If I WAS a wallpaper mod, I would purge EVERY single wallpaper, including my own, and force everyone to start over fresh. Why go so drastic? Well it's simple.
By purging the entire section, you have to check EVERY wallpaper. Devote one day to it. If you see a pattern in peoples work...AKA no effort, disable their ability to submit for X amount of time.
Why purge EVERYONE?
Because...
-Purging the crap and filtering out the good is too much effort.
-Deleting certain peoples "Wallpapers" and not other peoples is an excuse for people to complain "The wallpaper mod is playing favorites =("or "The wallpaper mod iz a racist ='("
Then again...I treat everyone the same, I've told some of my best friends that they suck at photoshop and they should try harder.(in those words)
I think simply purging the entire thing and starting fresh while keeping a better handle on things would be much more beneficial to the site. Buuuttt thats just me.
