Hey there guys, OliverFrenchie here with another blog post. This time I'm going to be talking about the lack of originality and quality on PlanetMinecraft and what we can do to change it. Be warned, there will be ranting in this blog post. (Custom Made Render for Thumbnail)
The past few days (possibly weeks) have been challenging to deal with. The recent commencement of the Skin Contest means that our feeds are being flooded with skins, some original but many, unoriginal and lacking quality.
Another brilliant blog post by Site Moderator the_soup focuses on the impulse of Slenderman skins following the release of the game Slender. Another great blog by Niko shows his frustration for the lack in quality and the unfairness of the popular reel. I'm going to talk to you about a combination of unoriginality and lack in quality. A quick search shows that there are over 400 Slenderman skins out at the moment.
If you have a skin you'd like to post or a map you'd like to share then do so. However, if your skin is a copy of someone else, is another 'teenager','hunter' or any other of the clichéd skins then please, don't post them. You will be recognised for making an original skin. The same applies for maps and the influx of 'Escape' maps. The effort that has gone into making a lot of them is minimal. They've looked at the original 'Escape' maps and merely copied them with a different design and story. That's not acceptable.
If you spend time and put effort into your projects then you shall be rewarded.
So hey, lets say I've just made this fantastic skin thats got shading, detail and everything in it. I've posted it but why isn't it popular or being featured? Well, sadly there is a dark side to PlanetMinecraft.
The intake of unoriginal skins because of the contest means that amazingly good skins are flooded underneath them and are buried never to be seen.
So please, if you are considering posting a skin or a project, make it original and put effort into it. If we all start doing this, then the really good skins will get more attention and more recognition. If we don't act soon then PlanetMinecraft will become a hub for unshaded skins, pathetic builds and boring posts.
