[09-Jun-2008] Ratings & Medals

[Ray Rider]

Based on the ratings I'm seeing, the average seems to be around 4.6 or 4.7 and that's mostly because we have two camps, those that rate 5 unless you do something asinine and those that use 3 unless you deviate either good or bad.

Exactly; and the combination of those to systems has skewed the ratings. I was all in favor of this new feedback system when it was in the works, but now that we have it, I see that there are some fairly major problems with it.

you would just never be happy with whatever system!

[General Mayhem]

I also think the feedback should still be running along with it.

it's impractical Mayhem! it's easy to just say it and wish it were true.. but it takes to much of the sites resources!

thats fine! i aint that bothered! just leaving comments! was! liked!
ebay have it right though. star ratings anonymous then comments show who by.

it cant take that much resources just for comments to be on there. its text for godsake

hehehe, you are correct!

but i don't, with all honestly, think anyone cares enough to insist upon a change mate!

People will bitch and moan and say they are leaving, that no more subscriptions will be paid.... In reality it is all just hot gas from overloaded sphincters and talking for its own sake!

Many different colours ... a plethora of reds, oranges and purples in the evening and in the often a beautiful vermilion in the morning. Through the day: Grey or blue; skipping between a light pure watery topaz to a the blue of a deep ocean!


so .. now we have the colour of the sky out the way: what exactly are you doing except bitching, getting it off your chest and ultimately accepting the change in a couple of weeks!?

[suggs]

Prime, what worries me is that NOT ONCE did i see in your post a conciliatory remark directed at the consumers/the general public.
I'm afraid once you start charging money for anything, its a business relationship, and then you must act according to the unwritten rules of market success.
You may well be right in much of what you said -but you didn't say it in a very pleasant, customer friendly way, and in business, good presentation is key.
Please have more respect for the consumer. Or at least pretend to.

Signed up for the community-sponsored feedback idea, bounced other ideas off people without closed minds and attempted to persuade the condecending, arrogant boot-lickers such as yourself what a bad business move this is. And I will not re-up my membership.

So what have you done, other than toss off to the idea that you are the Admin's "special little pet"?

good lad ..
well in fact, if you notice, i started that thread but did not notice you in there!
At the moment the thread is more like a morgue than an idea factory which could go somewhere... just me arguing with the troll KLOBBER, so more concerted support would be good please people!

humour an old boot-licker please!

come vote here: Community Adjudicated Comment System
and

here: General Discussion Vote

[DukeToshiro]

I would love for more people to vote on Jiminski's poll thread, but wicked keeps deleting it or moving it to the most obscure place possible. This poll needs to be on the website front page, but at the VERY LEAST it should be in the general discussion forum. It ALSO needs to be in the suggestions forum. Quit trying to get rid of people's opinions simply because you don't like what they are saying. I was done with this thread, but it really ticks me off that the mods are attempting to get rid of the poll.

[azezzo]

just curious as to how many negative posts it will take for the powers that be to admit they screwed up and will fix this problem?
Its been over a week now, the ratings are meaningless.

[azezzo]

alright here is an Idea, I suggest that everyone who wants to leave feedback, in the mean time, untill further notice, after your game ends and before it gets archived go back into the game chat and leave your own feedback for your opponent. Both positive and negative, write it in the chat , and when C.C. sees the increase in the game chat logs they'll see that we want feedback back.
Perhaps this wont do any good, but at least you can still rip into that opponent who drives you crazy.

Medals


It's not all about score and rank now that we've got 9 game achievement medals for you to collect. Actually, each one is available in Bronze, Silver and Gold so make that 27 medals! Being awarded a medal will earn you the right to display it proudly on your profile and by your forum posts. Check out the medals page to see what you can win. Those of you who already qualify for any game achievement medals will get them after your next win.


Look out as well for our line of contributions medals to be awarded to those who've helped make this website a better place.

You can expect more medals to come out in future updates...

Excellent work Lakattack, most do not like change, but after many get used to it more, they will like it.


More medals to come, I agree, i also would consider platinum and diamond status for 5 with 9 categories, giving 45 total instead of 27, also, perhaps the leader in each category, also have a little conquer club symbol, saying they have the most in that area.

the current is bronze 20 wins, silver 100 wins, gold 400 wins and I would suggest keep all the same, tweak the gold a wince and add these, looks like this:

bronze 20 wins
silver 100 wins
gold 300 wins
platinum 500 wins
diamond 1000 wins


respects, blitzy

[adamfrost19]

and given your rank, you're not even good at CC either. maybe it's cuz you need a fucking brain to be able to plan some fucking strategy in the first play that is.

Lol, I am exactly the same rank as you, plus I have been a major, so I'm afraid you don't have bundles of credibility, in your 'f******' littered argument.

[lt.pie]

i love the medal idea but im friggin sick of pm"s from players who don"t like the ratings i left them

[NASATimp]

Day Whatever of this and I still don't like it at all--even though I have a 5.0 rating.

Bring back feedback!! If it's not done, in some form that allows comments at least, I will NOT be renewing my premium membership again.

[Trouserpants]

I don't post here much but needed to air this out
The new system is TERRIBLE, I hate it so.
I'd rather the mods just said 'we're not going to moderate feedbacks anymore' if it was such a hassle.
I used to like going into people's profiles before a game and read about WHY they had low approval, as opposed to just that they had low approval.
Likewise, I liked I had the ability to tell everyone exactly why a player was being unsportsmanlike.
I too will not be renewing my premium account unless they reenstate the old feedback system. It wasn't perfect but it was a hundred times better than this

[CryWolf]

lol I just got a 1-1-2-1 rating for missing ONE turn and posting "lol wow" at the end... So, that means I cheated, totally deadbeated, and was a complete ass. Yep, your rating system is GREAT!!! [/sarcasm]

Agreed... I will not renew either

That $100.00 worth of income lost in just the last two pages of feedback on this single thread. Can't believe this is not making itself felt in the bank account.

[CryWolf]

it won't happen overnight... people have to run their memberships out and not renew... that's when they will realized they screwed up.. but it will be too late

And to all you mods who support this and are telling us it's for our own good... WE'RE the ones who make this community run... what we want goes or this community fails.

Sounds like a poll is needed. If the admins will allow it to stand.

[Magiw]

Nice suggestion Blitz, should toss it in the suggestion section so it doesn't get lost in the mud.

[suggs]

Yes, but they are completely separate. Keep the medals/gimmicks, and ditch the ratings.
Isn't it a completely random, inexplicable co=incidence how there are all these server problems since the new system was put in place? Most unfortunate
