vikingen76 Rating Abuse [warned]

Post by btown80 »

Accused:

vikingen76




The accused are suspected of:

Other: Rating Abuse



Game number(s):

Most of his games.


Comments:He has left a total of 70 ratings, 50 of them have 1 star. He often tags things like Poor Strategy, clueless and sore loser when the other player wins the game. Makes no sense and is a mockery of the rating system.

Maybe he's just one of those guys, who only bothers to rate, when he feels pissed off? Besides: There are 5 star ratings there also. I honestly fail to see, why this guy should be reported.

Wow, so tagging people with "sore loser" and "clueless" when they win is ok huh? yeah definitely don't see any reason why it should be reported (sarcasm)

Wow... Looking through the ratings he left, I've never seen so much white stars!

Definite ratings abuse.

You're having a laugh, surely? If there's ever been blatant ratings abuse, this has to be it. If this isn't dealt with, the CC staff won't do anything to keep the system from dying completely.

I AM having a laugh... at the peeps who spend much time actively searching for people to report. (I'm still snickering over the douche bag report you made earlier - that was classic). But really, I think people should be allowed to only rate when they come across people they don't appreciate. He rated a very low percentage of those possiple. He didn't rate everybody badly. And I have rated winners as sore losers. People can express problems with losing before a game flips and that guy wins. I think this borders on report abuse, but I'm biased by afore mentioned douche bag report (*snicker*), so what do I know :P

Besides mate; He rated you a sore loser, and I suspect that's your real beef. He's played two games with you, and you won one and he won one. And in the chat of the one he won (man that's a lot of rhymes), he argues, that you are a poor loser - so he rated you accordingly. Why report this? Just foe the man, if you have a prop with 'im.

The "douchebag" report was just for kicks and my own personal amusement. As for this report, I didn't really mind that he rated me a sore loser, even though i was a good sport about it (please notice how he accuses the site of cheating freemium players) This report is in reaction to me looking at all of his ratings he has left, which 80% of them are unjust and unwarranted. That is why this was made, and that is why he should be warned. If not, then the rating system will turn into something that means nothing, and if it already means nothing, then why have it?

Well your missing my point: I don't disagree that he's a few marples short, but I don't see that he abuses the rating system; He openly says, that he thinks you are a bad loser. I read the chat. I don't agree that you came off that way, but he felt that. So he rated that. We can't say that he abuses the system by having a screwed up opinion. He is allowed to rate according to his personal views. So I say: Foe him with a smile and leave it be...

I didn't see the "bad loser" comment, I foe'd him before he must have written it. But because I might have been a bad loser in a previous game with someone else, does not give him the right to say I'm a bad loser in this game. I said absolutely nothing about losing. Every comment I make is referenced to his "conspiracy theory".

It might have been classic if cub_bear hadn't already done the same thing a week ago.

The ratings system is far from perfect, but I agree with btown that vikingen78 is abusing it.

I wasn't aware, that a rating should be game specific... I mean if I play three speed games against the same guy right after each other, I only get to place one rating, so that would seem odd to me.
I believe it's ratings abuse, when someone deliberately gives a rating, that doesn't match that someone's honest opinion of the ratee. Am I wrong on that? If so, I withdraw with respect. If not, I really don't see a problem with this guy. (Well he's screwed up for thinking that preemies get better dice, but you get my drift...)

If I am wrong though, I see a big problem with the rating system; How can anyone then judge a case like this? It would be too subjective. And this is the reason, that I would be very surprised, if this earns him a warning.

Quite

I played vikingen78 once and it was enough, one of those players who thinks all his luck is skill and all everyone else's skill is luck and tells you so in chat again and again to the point of tedium... remind you of anyone btown80?
