i get why the link can only be accessed by mods and admins now. deleting ratings to manipulate your weight is pretty shady. then again, i still disagree with rating notifications and the fact that ratings get regularly deleted because people get butthurt. it's all fucking retarded; the entire general rate system is retarded. rate people accordingly if you're going to rate someone, period. this popularity contest crap is a little ridiculous.
i feel bad for whomever you rate a 0 next, vinsue, and all because you are just sort of being an ass. it was sort of a bitch move.

So how shady does it make me for giving random people I found on the user list a couple months ago 5's to try and make my zeros more devastating?
Is that even legal? 
I like causing drama with ratings, I've already had one member banned from leaving ratings because he kept leaving me inappropriate ratings. I checked his ratings the other day and he responded to a rating left by someone saying something to the effect of "I'd return the 5 shrooms but that bitch Everlong got me banned from leaving ratings." 
Yeah I'm a loser, I know.

I was Hanky's last rating.
http://www.shroomery.org/forums/viewratings.php?usernum=116398&by=116398&sort=7
... and for Grizz. And what's the point of keeping ratings of banned members? I've rated members(and their )sometimes 3, 4, 6 times...

I have a question. This thread makes it really clear that your weighted rating system sucks ass.
Why do you persist in using it?
One members rates should be equal in value to all members rates. I don't recall ever seeing what my rates are worth and frankly I don't care, but all should be equal.

I'm sure you do disagree but a 5 should be a 5 and a 0 should be a 0.
The rate one gives should be the rate one intends .
Should your vote not go to who you intend it to?
Should your bank put $50 into your account when you deposited $60?
Should your debtors credit you $100 when you gave them a check for $125?
Should your waiter bring you liver when you wanted steak?
No. "Sucks ass" was an overly polite way to describe it.

Those are false analogies. They're one-on-one transactions. Standardized scores are used when you need to normalize values from a group of people. For example, the judges' scores in the Olympics are normalized to account for subjective differences. You may not agree with it on some fundamental level, but it's a commonly used statistical technique for just this kind of situation, and I've been pleased with the results. Based on the decreased number of complaints, I think our members have been too. If you don't like the rating system, just opt out. That's why it's an option.

It has nothing to do with not liking the rating system or dropping out.
It has everything to do with the rate you give should be the rate received.

Well, you could have a reasonable expectation that a 5 would be a 5 and a 0 should be a 0... but that'd be crazy talk.
Instead you have a system where a 5 (or a 0) from one individual isn't worth the same as a 5 (0r a 0) from another individual.
You know... a system that people can and do "game".
A system where everyone is equal... except for those that are more equal. Or less equal.

sweet. you got me back to a comfortable 4 shrooms. i missed my albino. in reality, you only took me down just enough to make the difference between 4 and 5, so instead of rounding up it's being rounded down, but i'm still at a 4.6 so it is super negligible.
honestly, my plan seems to have worked perfectly, and you did me a favor, so thanks.

What about those of us affected by the ALL-READY Butt-Hurt mebers and thier heavily weighted ratings whenn 96% sows its all +5 but there -5 can be the ultimate downfall of most ratings
I see the reason behind trust of name and thie knowledge but some things should/shall be set a bit fairer than the rest should. Yes!?

The average rating for all users should be 2.5 if the system is truly going to be a fair representation. You have 4.5. You should be happy to be above average. If everyone is exceptional then no one is.
