His pack, his rules. I have no quarrel with how he runs this pack, however I feel that keeping the high standards to match his ideals is taking a step backward in time.
The only issue is the target demographic—is he sculpting files to match his ideal or sculpting files to match the community. You all already know that I'm obviously for the latter because I want to leave as much personal bias out of files as possible. My only issue with what he's doing is the fact that he's rejecting or diminishing files for reasons such as "it's too long" or "it's too easy" which is completely and wholeheartedly subjective—there will always be people who actually like these kind of files, which really questions who exactly is the demographic he's aiming for. Is he trying to appeal to the tiny abysmal community here or would he rather prefer to broaden the spectrum of players to the majority in which are casuals? I already had discussions with GLoVE about this whole deal so essentially I'm cool with how this pack is run so long as we aren't taking a step back to elitist era here. People will ultimately be influenced by the mentality in which this pack will run, which may spiral the community back to the past viewpoints of "you should do this in a file otherwise it's bad or unacceptable" kind of thing. Essentially, everything we've done up until now to become much more open minded and encourage players and simfile authors to try will have been a lost cause and for absolutely nothing should we ever go back to how we were in the past—this is my only concern.
