Who's Dropping all my Ratings ?
Wednesday, January 7, 2004 by fivesballs | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I know this has nothing to do with the recent problems that have occured with the site but... someone went through my library and dropped all my ratings within the past couple of hours 
!!! Why would someone do this to me ? not only have i lost over 3,000 dls/Many comments and some ratings because of the recent problems but now this... I mean it's hard for me to buy a dl/Rating or comment ..I understand thier are no answers but i just don't understand why someone would do this?(Someone make me understand the motive) I try to ignore ratings but 10's are 5's/ 7's are 4's Very discouraging to say the least 
And i guess i just wanted to say i'm well aware of it and not to happy At All

Not all of your ratings were dropped, I looked over it and rated a few myself noticing that some had NO ratings at all and remained on 6's. That leads me to believe no one went through and "dropped all your ratings" but the rating system isn't there just for people to put high ratings up. It's completely opinion based and you can't expect everybody to like everything.

yes,most were 7 and 8,not to bad really.Some skins lost their previous ratings in the crash.Check to see if you have any showing 0 rates of a 6.T-man explained that they cant be recovered.(it actually helped the rating on 1 of mine because the next rate I got was higher than the initial rating.)If someone is maliciously rating,they can be found out.

Well Thanks again for your time .And in regaurds to #2 I do not expect everyone to like everything and certainly don't care about the ratings really but when i notice ratings abuse i got to Question the responsibility of the person givin this right Including myself....Just because i got 20 bucks does this make me a responsible person ? I think not ... I just wonder who else this is happening to and should things change in regaueds to this situation ?Anyways again Thanks Koasati one minute ratings were low next minute they were back to normal...Thought i was losin my mind

This happens. If you keep an eye out you will see this type of post on the MSGBD from time to time. About a year ago someone went down the top authors list and proceded to hand out 1's. That time adni brought it to light. But theres been others affected by the lone low ball rater.

What would help is if more people rated skins. I know there are a lot of people with the ability too, but go and look and see how many votes most skins have. on my skins I would guess about 1 percent of the people who have downloaded it have rated it. And if more people started voting then you could not count the lowest and highest rating(If there are more than one then just one is exluded) and that would keep the nogood-doers from doing nogooddery

actually a good suggestion,kind of like the olympics,throw out the highest and lowest rate.Might be a prob with the coding...dont know how hard that would be.

the more ratings a skin receives the less impact the do-nogooder can make

I.R., I think that might not be easy. All ratings would have to be saved in case a higher or lower rating was recieved that was higher or lower than the ones thrown out. I think that if more people rated, that would solve a bogus 1 rating.
