With this system I get rudeness in chat and low rating. Before this I had 1 neg and over 100 positives.

Good point. This system seems to provide less of an incentive for good behavior. Under the feedback system most players liked to avoid negatives, but if it's all just stars they'll even out ...

I started a suggestion thread with a poll in the Suggestion and Bugs forum. I am not sure it will change anything, but I think coming up with positive suggestions is more helpful than just complaining.

Ratings - What's Really Wrong With Them.

After living with the new rating system for a bit it seems even more useless than first imagined. Among the many problems is a rather significant one, i.e. that we are taking all of the ratings and jamming them together, leaving us with numbers that mean nothing.

For instance, say Player A has ...

Well I liked it well enough but there are so many things wrong with the new rating system that I think the best course is to scrape it off our shoes and start again.

Re: [09-Jun-2008] Ratings & Medals

What I think is just hilarious is the mods thinking that some of the idiots on this site would rate objectively because they are using stars instead of feedback. We're seeing people getting 1 star ratings for attendance even if they didn't miss a turn, when the rater is just mad because they lost. I ...

Who will use the new rating system?

In a number of the threads about the new rating system (either complaining about it or lecturing others on how to rate) a number of people have indicated that they would just ignore the new system. I thought it would be interesting to find out how people are trending whether they like the new system ...

So zimmah, your standard for average attendance is not missing any turns? How do you get an outstanding, taking extra turns?

The problem is that some might rate average attendance as 1 miss in 20 rounds, with an average of 12 hours between turns. Someone else will give a 1 or 2 for that same ...

you're pretty much right, however not everyone leaves ratings for everyone. so you would get less ratings to average out that quickly, and people tend to leave bad feedback (for deadbeaters) or positive feedback (for really outstanding) players, faster then just plain normal ones. i mean you ...

seeing how this is going I'm probably just gonna stop rating folks and ignore it altogether. I mean, how do you fairly rate average attendance? If you never miss a turn is that average? Or do you get an average if you take less than 12 hours between turns? How long does the average player take? All ...

Seems to me the problem is that the transition was not well handled. We have moved from a binary system (positive or negative, since neutrals didn't show) to an arbitrary scale with no real guidance. (I know guidance has been added now, but really the cow is out of the barn already).

I assume that ...

Wow Zimmah, that was quite a post. Unfortunately I don't think most players have the attention span necessary to actually read your suggested criteria for each star rating, so I'm guessing that they're probably not going to put that much effort into the ratings either.

Pretty much I can see giving ...

Gotta say I'm not loving the new ranking when joining games. I'm flying blind, or else I have to link to each player, then follow that link to their feedback. Really slows the process or else it increases the risk that I'll join a game with some abusive loud-mouth jerk. ( I usually like to limit my ...

I guess I'll hold judgment for now...

But I really don't like not having comments directly attached to ratings. A lot of time I can judge from the feedback whether the person leaving the feedback had valid reasons or was just being a tool. So even if someone got negative ratings, I'd look to see ...

That way if someone leaves really useless feedback the user community can help indicate ...

Fair enough point on the clutter.

In regards to the skill required to take out one player, what about those players that mostly play one-on-one games? Don't those add to your win/loss ratio? In those games there is no worrying about other opponents taking you out after you press an attack, yet ...
