Default 6 Ratings
Tuesday, February 18, 2003 by citats | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I have read in the past that if a skin is not actually rated. It receives a 6 rating...
Is this so?
and if so, is it possible to just leave the skin as unrated instead of the default 6. Or would that mess with the way downloads are controlled? I know that unregistered users can only download an 8 or higher.
Although some users don't care about the ratings and say they are over rated...
Many users, use these ratings to help them find skins that are perceived as a notch above. 
what do you think?

Delicious, after reading this whole thread, I felt like you still didn't understand what was being said. I am going to take the first 5 examples of the ratings of your skins that was posted earlier:
5 10 2 5 1
8 8 6 10 9 5 10
7 10 8 4
6 8 10
5 7 10
On those 5 skins, only *one* received an admin rating of a "6", even though you claim they all do. You received a: 5,8,7,6,5 on the five respective skins. The rest were peer ratings. When you average them for each skin, you get (rounded, since we do that): 5, 8, 7, 8, 7
I do not understand where you claim that everything is always rated a 6. The other point I would like to make, is that the "average" ended up the same as the admin rating 3/5 of the time. The admins don't auto-rate anything. We rate it on how it compares to the other submissions. I also agree with how Jafo took your "brown nosing" comment. It appeared to be directly aimed at the admins. We don't favor anyone during moderation.
