Whats up with the rating system?
    #19096647 - 11/06/13 05:43 PM (10 years, 2 months ago)

I'm down a mushroom and don't seem to have any negative feed back. I realized this about a month ago and asked a mod, who told me to make a thread. Anyone have any ideas?

Cheers for the help  :seriousthumbsup:

It's because the users who rated you give out nothing but +5s, therefore their positive ratings are valued less in the name of equality. The reverse is true of people who give out nothing but 0s. It's an attempt to find balance in an easily and often abused system that probably shouldn't exist anyway. Content yourself with the fact that four "shrooms" is still a good rating.

See this post for an explanation of the weighted rating system.

I have to agree, i have 8 perfect ratings and 4/5 shrooms. doesn't make any sense since the users who rated me aren't noobs and have lots of different ratings.  something is broken it seems.

thanks for the responses everyone, makes sense now, sorta :wink:

Very broken, yet Ythan has his head stuck so far up his ass about it that it won't change.  Stop counting ratings based on the ratings they give out, and start counting them on the ratings they get.  If a 1/5 gives you a 5/5, that should count less than someone who is 5/5 with 300 ratings.

You should probably just opt out now because you take ratings way too seriously.

Cause the rating system here is pure stoopid.  Unless you're in junior high.  :prettyflyforawhiteguy:

I think its great. the whole how many shroom thing is stupid but if you cant see past that then its not the stupid part of the equation. Reading what people write and seeing patterns in what people say to certain people paints a great picture. Is a wonderful read at times. Reading only good ratings blow, but reading the ratings given to a person that melts is fun to read.
They start like hes cool I guess and by page 3 its just people laughing at how the one melting is a sally bitch.


Or opt out so that doesnt happen

or so no one can see that, that did happen

Thanks for the replies everyone. Anyone here thinking that I minded losing a mushroom was misled. I posed he question out of curiosity, and surprisingly (with some help) ended up with a completely different answer than any of the suggestions here.


Turns out a user down voted me, and then opted out of the rating system, which caused his negative comment to vanish making it look like i'm missing a mushroom because the rating still applied.

Anyway, thanks again to those who took the energy to try to help figure it out.

ratings are just for giving people props are letting people know that you find their posting detestable. it's a platform for that, as far as i'm concerned. i don't care about "the rank". that's essentially un-needed, IMO.
