THE RATING SYSTEM IS SO STUPID ON WC!!!

..or everywhere

Wednesday, August 22, 2012 by ZubaZ | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I saw this and couldn't help but think of all the rating fights we've had on WC over the years.  

 

I got lost and wandered into the world's creepiest cemetery, where the headstones just had names and star ratings. Freaked me out. When I got home I tried to leave the cemetery a bad review on Yelp, but as my hand hovered over the 'one star' button I felt this distant chill ...

 

It's never worth worrying about in any case.

How can a skin get when it has just been uploaded and there's 0 download yet ?

1) It's a Master skin.

2) A 'friendly-rating'. Someone rates it based on who the uploader is. (See quite a lot of those)

3) 'Drive-by' ratings. Some users find it cool to be high on the raters scoreboard, if this still exists, and just go through the galleries and rate everything as high as possible.

I say we make the ratings go all the way to 11.

I say we make the ratings go away....

I second that notion (and all statistics too since most of them don't work)!

If I'm not mistaken, I believe some of the search filters use ratings as one of the search perameters.

I say we do away with star ratings and go with a Pizza rating system... People are much more frivolous with stars than they would be just tossing pizzas around all willy nilly..

At least change the stars to pizzas!  And don't make it public...to much chance for people to cheat even more.

HG just wants the pizzas. Put them up there and watch him break out a box of crayons.

You'd love that, wouldn't you?

Not a one would touch the ground.
