These are just skins with no meaningful changes to the model, any optimization or good thought put into them.
The skins are messy and the wrap is very bad in some places too.
You might want to improve on that and actually put work into the resources.

I like new Satyr skin, it is much, much better now.
A harpy, though, is a strange thing. I'm not sure if her face matches her body well. Or is it a stone mask? I don't know.

LOVE THIS PROJECT SO MUCH.
I'm glad you are still working on it and adding more to it. Keep it up bro. Sideknote, I especially love the ent kinght and would love to see some more work on this one. Like being able to see the knight mounted like it is and then walking with no mount would be a cool treat.

Yeah, that does not seem right.
There is no moderation post or review and the models are just the standard ones.
Something is not right and this is not fair to other people.

I'm not claiming anything, ask the person who put it up this bundle.

Weird that you directly reacted to this so directly and already you deflecting a claim that I did not even make...
But I am not questioning you, just the moderation, which seems rather unfair and willfully obtuse and weird.

I highly doubt that and it is not the first time this happens.
Some admin and moderators used to do that 'out of the shadows'.
Just two years ago some bad and honestly unfitting and uneducated moderator approved some models that were still broken today.

I reacted directly because it was mentioned under my post. I have nothing to do with moderation and did not put this bundle up, and I just wanted to say that it doesn't matter to me whether there is a bundle or not.
To resolve your issue of "unfair moderation", you need to contact the moderators or the administration directly, and also provide them with a link to the same material. I am not the person who can give you an answer on the merits of their decisions.

Oh I already did report this thread and some others, don't you worry. Would not be the first time admins and mods do not know what they were doing.
It is good that you replied directly and I do believe you are innocent in this.
i hope you have taken no offense to this.
I am just against any unfair treatment of any people.

Also, I can't disagree with the fact that it somehow devalues the work of people. I made simple retextures and only added a mesh in some models. Of course, I can accept that someone likes this job, but it doesn't deserve such ratings.

It is impossible to moderate a resource without leaving a review or comment at least.

It is not Impossible. It even happened when I was a moderator here though I personally never did that because it is just dirty.
Admins and mods can do it, but the practice was heavily discouraged as it removes any transparency and Ralle was all about transparency back in the day. Seems like Ralle and Admins are no longer onto that, which is bad and just discredits their actions and makes them look bad.

It was mistakenly moderated by Archian. See the latest reacts on the resource, his reaction is the most recent one. Maybe he really liked the bundle.

Well then he should properly moderate it to Hive's standards.
He did nothing of that sort and forgone any procedure and overstepped other mods and reviewers. At best it is a honest mistake at worst this is shitty behavior and an abuse of moderation and site power and disregard of any standards that he wrote down himself with Ralle in the past. This is just shitty.

Holy cow, all this for a moderated pack...
I think you're getting a bit worked up about this Frank. Obviously this is a pressure-point for you, but let's not get out of hand. I'm sure your Report will get this taken care of, and it was likely just an honest mistake/someone trying to help out.

I made an observation, and a suggestion. That is all.
Yes, and the harshness is what I'm concerned about, especially when it devolves into accusations.
We all play a part in making this community a pleasant, meaningful place to spend our time. All I'm doing is pointing out a breach of that, as a fellow user (not a mod).

Not an accusation. I am stating facts from past experiences. I have seen it happen and you even spoke out about something similar in 2023.

Indeed but at the same time, the community must also follow rules and those rules should be applied equally to everyone. There are resources rated unfairly and others overrated out of the shadows like General Frank mentioned.
Anyway, it would be best not to continue this conversation, especially in the bundle of a resource. It should be discussed amongst the staff forum or somewhere else.

I agree with General Frank's viewpoint.
However, Quaver is right - we shouldn't discuss this too much in this place.

There is no other place to discuss that, else you know it will be swept under the rug as it always is.

I've put the bundle back to pending since I can't see any moderation/review comment. I'm not sure how this was moderated as High Quality, but Quaver is correct that you cannot moderate a bundle without leaving a comment, either replacing one you've already left as the review comment or posting a new one.
@General Frank you reported it, the further comments are unnecessary. I also don't appreciate your comments towards things being swept under the rug or your insults towards staff and also being rude towards Khyrbs when nothing he has said is problematic. I'd like to think that since my tenure all reports have been dealt with in a relatively timely and fair manner.
As for what's happened in this case I can't say, just because Archian has reacted doesn't mean he was the one that moderated it. But the situation is easily resolved without things devolving into... whatever this thread is. If a model thread is just going to devolve into drama and conspiracy then I will simply lock it, as it is neither appropriate nor helpful.
