I dunno, but those are a liiiiiiiiiiittle pricey lol
âŚwhich indeed we did see with Darioâs.
I think you misunderstand what I mean by garbage. See my example of BA above. Itâs a classic example. The charts are for NEW watch faces. This is absolutely against the SPIRIT of playing the charts. Its like when you go to a store and find that all the parking spaces close to the store have been taken by employees. Sure, nothing technically wrong with it, but its not a good deal for customers, and its not a good look for the employees.
No, itâs pretty good for partners. Not so much for the rest of us. Partners get a lot of visibility that the rest of us donât get.
I have never seen anyone say theyâre upset by being pushed down the list by partners. I donât think anyone minds sharing the charts with them either. Thatâs not the problem. Itâs about the spirit of the charts themselves.
Iâve long given up on the idea of being a Facer Creator Partner, and I feel a lot better for it. I donât even look at the charts these days. I donât care about popularity, chart position or statistics. I create watch faces that I want to make for me. But I do care about fairness, and I think partners should LEAD the way in good moral practices that give everyone a great chance on this platform.

I think you expressed perfectly our amateurs feeling.
As you say âitâs about the spirit of the chartâ beccause itâs the only way to get a bit of visibility,dont care about position but just to be present for sometime since no more free faces are featured,at list one per month, and in the new faces section lately there are ppl that upload bounch of seamless faces in same time without any control

Where does it say this, exactly?
We release watchfaces and people sync them. How do we control this? You make it sound like weâre evil and have some master plan to destroy everyone who is not a partner. This is not the case.
We all started out in the same place as everyone else here. You want visibility? Make watchfaces that generate syncs. You get noticed, and you become partner. Alternatively, waste your time and energy complaining about how unfair it is.
What would you suggest? We donât make free faces, because thatâs immoral?

Hmmm, so that means, that after becoming a facer partner we shouldnât release free faces anymore?? I always thought people like free gifts⌠And i didnât assume it would lead to troubles doing so.
I canât speak for eyeryone here, others may have other intentions but i simply love to create watch faces, premium or free ones. Itâs a passion and i love that i can canalize my creativity and share it with others. This passion doesnât end when you become a partner.
Just my two centsâŚ

Exactly. I give my watches for free after they have generated some money, for those who cannot afford it. I donât do it for any other reason.

Well thats the thing isnât it. Facer is so veiled in mystery, no one knows what the fricking rules are. Whenever my faces have charted, they mysteriously disappear after 30 days. I thought that was the case for everyone, but maybe its another, âoh doesnât happen to meâ.
Read the whole thread. Iâm not rehashing it again.
I did everything that Facer said you should do. I had social media accounts where I constantly pushed Facer, I had a 15k monthly syncs,
I posted to this forum more than all the partners put together, I wasnât bitter and jaded (like I am now 
), I had collections created using their guidelines for quality, and it didnât get me anything.

It looks glitched to me, same face, no changes. Unless he published it, forgot something, then published it again, then went back in and fixed something and published it again, etc. But I doubt thatâs the case.
Correction, the charts are for newly released faces. Plus, the customer isnât prevented from purchasing things at the store, they just might have to walk a little further to buy em. Additionally, if your faces are good, theyâll be parked out front instead of partner faces.
What I meant was that Facer is a good platform and lets people make faces easily for themselves and others with an attainable path to monetization. Of course partners get more visibility, Facer doesnât make money from free faces.
Ok. But the spirit hasnât changed since Iâve been around. We all had to function within these parameters. I had to fight my way into the top of the charts before I was a partner too.
Oops, looks like a bunch of people replied while I was writing this lol, sorry for any repetition.

Personally, I have no issue with Partners doing free watch faces and getting on the top 100 list. There is some satisfaction that comes when you notice that your watch face is ranked higher than a partnerâs face. (Not belittling the partners watch face in any way.) I do my faces for my enjoyment first, secondly the syncs and top 100 are nice perks, but what I get the most thrill from is the comments from the end users. I get the comments that they love my faces, or I should do them for sale because they would pay for them. We just have to keep reminding ourselves that the bottom line is, we are doing the faces for our fans. Without our watch face fans, we would not have top 100 faces, large sync counts or even the Facer platform to be able to use. We owe it to the watch fans that keep Facer alive and us as designers busy working on that next possible number one watch face, be it paid or free.

We will all get ourselves a square watch and get BradC on to that one if he has not done it already . Although at this stage I must say I like a Nice Pair of Hands .

This discussion began with a post about a bunch of very similar free faces taking up the Recent page so that it took a lot of scrolling to find other designs. When that happens itâs inconsiderate, but perhaps the members who do that do not realize thatâs happening until their designs show up in multiple rows on Recents.
Somehow the comments above went off topic and ended up with criticism of Partners and Facer. There are many topics in the community about the charts and about becoming a Partner.
We really donât need another one.

So I would like to say I am sorry. I apologise on behalf of some of the others. You are one of the few partners that contribute here out of what I Belive are 250 odd . I think you obviously realise people are not having a go at the Partners. A few of these guys have fabulous and individual work but have been passed over by Facer to become partners as they are Enough Already. So naturally they feel a little frustrated. The rules for Amater and Professional Football are the Same. May be some of the Partners that do not contribute at the level you do, should be Sacked.
Thanks for the vote of confidence @russellcresser . Actually a couple of years ago when I was a newbie here I did make something inspired by that. But looking back (Itâs still there), it looks amateur now. Maybe I should redo it???

The. Spamming new face are similar to the spamming partner notification,i think itâs on topic or we should do another?
Other topic about charts and partners are different from that,here we are showing how the amateurs are kicked far from visibility,from spamming pubblications to timing partners pubblications,i dont see nothing so offensive vs partners to make they came out from their zone here with certain comments.
After all a guidline if Iâm not wrong Is
" You must be an active and constructive member of the Facer community, including its forums, comment threads, etc."
I dont see any of those parameter respected ,only comments to defend their status, thats why is going off topic
