Alstergren: Ratings Abuse [cleared]

[Tess Tickles]

Accused:

Alstergren




The accused are suspected of: Severe and blatant ratings abuse.






Game number(s): N/A




Comments: Pretty clear if you happen to take a look at the ratings Alstergren leaves for everyone. If you look at them the majority of them are all 5s. In some of these games there isn't even any dialogue between Alstergren and the opposing player. How can you justify giving someone 5 stars for attitude without actually speaking with them? I find this to be abusive to the ratings and would like this to be looked into. If anything, a ratings ban should be given for a short period of time.

hahahaha.... Umm. You may have a warning coming your way.

C & A isn't for frivolous, vindictive revenge complaints.

BTW. Attitude isn't only in re of chat. It can be the fact that players take turns speedily and don't miss turns. Don't have lousy avatars. Stuff like that.

[Tess Tickles]

So you CAN actually see it in the way they play their game? Just like I mentioned here? Which is what my ratings were based on.

I also happen to find your avatar lousy so you have a bad attitude.

[jefjef]

Thats B.S.

It was obvious what you were up to by looking at your contradicting tags.

It's also obvious what this complaint is really about.

Now I must go and see if my FOE button works. BYE.

[Tess Tickles]

So the problem was the tags not so much the ratings?

It also was obvious someone was just upset for getting a 1 star rating after being so use to being given 5 stars for no reason.

MODS. This is on rutherfoo wall. Isn't this a rules violation?

SUCK THE SHIT OUT OF MY BALLS AND SWALLOW THE CUM PLASTERED ASS JUICE. FAG!

Ran out of an argument?

[rutherfoo]

I just rechecked the rules and that isn't in violation of any rules.

Also, I rechecked the ratings explanation on the instructions page.

The number of stars given should be based on this scale: 1 = Bad, 2 = Below Average, 3 = Average, 4 = Above Average, 5 = Excellent.

If you look at alstergren's ratings, pretty much all of them are all 5's or all 1's. Are we really supposed to believe that he only has played against extremely excellent players or absolutely shitty ones? Shouldn't most ratings be "average" or at least below or above average? Not either excellent or bad only. Tess Tickles makes a very valid point, I think. Ratings abuse goes both ways, either overly negative or overly positive, but people only seem to get upset when it's overly negative.

Unfortunately its the product of a broken system. If we start punishing alstergen for giving out lots of 5's a witch hunt will begin with a high % of all cc players (myself included) Whether it is laziness or not people will generally rate with 5's or 1's.
This is cleared of ratings abuse

No, it's not flaming. It was MY wall, and it's clearly a joke.

and even if it was flaming, there's nothing in the rules against flaming on someone's wall.

Rule #1: No multiple accounts
Rule #2: No secret diplomacy
Unwritten Rules

Obviously any gross abuse of the game is forbidden. This includes but is not limited to: throwing games or deliberately benefiting from thrown games, intentional deadbeating, holding players hostage, serial teammate killing, hijacking accounts, systematically "farming" new recruits.

I think I wrote this before in some post, but yes - generally I choose between all 5s, no rating at all, or all 1s. Most people, including myself, are perfectly happy with rating all 5s. But I've played a lot of games and faced a lot of people several times, so one cannot simply look at the last game if looking into my ratings. I also have no problem with an all 5s rating if I generally think someone is a decent player due to their postings in the forum etc. (although I would never take into account any non-game related history when it comes to a rating that's not all 5s). With that said, I think people are way too quick to rate anyways. No need to rate every single player just because one has been in a game together, I'm perfectly happy not to leave any rating at all first time or two I play someone. Based on that, please feel free to report me for rating abuse.

Don't fall prey to the gimic lord voldemort...it is not a broken system:)
Ratings Abuse - The word "abuse", in this case as in most, is in reference to a negative connotation.
A rating of 5 is not a negative therefore could not be abuse.
It is and always will be a "good" or "positive" thing to do on CC.

Flames are posts or parts of posts which, directly or indirectly, insult, belittle, bully, name-call, or otherwise attack another user is not allowed.


hide: Flaming Specifics
In no circumstances is bigotry allowed.

Bigotry includes racism, sexism, ageism, homophobia, religion bashing, lack of religion bashing, or wishing violence on any minority group, etc.
Bigotry takes into account historic events, emotional baggage and generally accepted associations with a term, phrase or intent - posting "White Power" in a thread has a history and is bigoted, posting "Green Power" makes you an environmentalist.
It doesn't matter if another user rubs you the wrong way, that's not an excuse to flame or attack them.
Attacking a person instead of the user is NOT ok - it's all fun and games until it becomes personal.

Using a person's real information, picture, address, blog or anything else "personal" is NOT ok.
Yes, we are liberal on coarse language, but this does not mean cyber-bullying or abusive bigotry is acceptable anywhere. You will be removed from the community for cyber-bullying or abusive bigotry.


Flaming will get your post edited/deleted and will get you a warning from a mod. Cyber-bullying and abusive bigotry will be removed, and a mod will probably come down on you like a ton of bricks.


Flame baiting (or just baiting) is the intentional attempt to get someone else to flame.


hide: Baiting Specifics
Just because you didn't directly attack another user does not make your post a meaningful contribution. If your post's intent was to provoke another user into an emotional response, to get under their skin or to otherwise piss them off, you're baiting them. Hopefully the user doesn't take the bait, but you'll probably get a warning from a mod.

That post was made under the heading "Forum Guidelines"
I had seen that before. What was written was written on my wall, not in the forum.
I'm still right unless you can find something referring to wall postings.
