Rating trolls and retaliatory low ratings.
Tuesday, August 18, 2015 by gmc2 | Discussion: Skinning
It would seem that I have made the ire of someone or some cowardly individuals that find humor in downgrading ratings for the mere fun of it, yuk-yuk.
I've had two recent blinds find their rating dropping to a mere 4 stars. I would agree they are not 10's but they certainly are not 4's.
I mentioned the first to Jafo and he swore that he didn't consider this a drive by.
With the last I upped the ante and made the complaint to the big dog (ID) and am still waiting on his response.
I did comment on the last blind some comments on the low lives that do this type of thing and low and behold; several of my other recent blinds have all been rated lower.
Personally, If you're not going to get rid of the rating and comments, I think it would be a good idea if the person uploading was able to disable the ratings and comments altogether.

This current instance is identical in effect to the last.
Neither is a drive-by. Neither is a 'troll'.
Nothing is 'retaliatory'.
BOTH are caused by the same issue...low number of individual ratings so EACH NEW ONE WILL AFFECT THE AVERAGE.
It is always curious that no-one EVER complains when there is only one rating posted by an avid fan...that's an unconsidered '10'.....so the 'average' is '10'.
