wow! again?  the ratings aren't going to change. new guys will have to except it.  it is not to be taken seriously,as it has no real merit. it's just for fun.  when a 1 bomber  gets a reaction from the squad builder, it's just what they want, they are laughing  at your anger.  ignore them,  and they will stop, or at least move on the another "victim"

Which is all fine and dandy, until the fueds start, which happened even without public knowledge of who posted. And then there is the issue of difficulty of enforcing it? How many characters are they supposed to put in the comment? And what happens when you get "......." or worse, varients on "it sucks". Which will get those of you upset with 1s even more upset. And will require the mods to do even more moderation.
I've seen it before on other sites. Just acknowledge that the ratings are meaningless, and don't put too much emotion into them. It would've saved the mods a lot of trouble.

Playing devils advocaat here ;) As a mod I dont think you should be saying the votes are meaningless. Casting a 1 for a 1's sake, thats trolling right? The people who put effort into their customs cant wait to see if someone has taken the time to read through their post to leave some crit and and a vote. So to have it voted 1 for poop and giggles may mean nothing to you and old joe blogs, but how many 1's will the OP custom maker take before they say "GTF with SW minis, pokemon still rules anyway!" Where is the famous community spirit? We have a pretty good care system for trades, granted that can go opear shaped at times but we look after each other right? We have a voting system, it should be appreciated and cared for too! End of the Advocaat...blasted, nothing left to do but admit it then. All the 1's are me mwooohahaha

All the 1's are me mwooohahaha Personally, the ideal is just comments, no ratings. Ratings are a very, very limited form of feedback. Maybe reducing the rating down to a facebook-esque "like" function would be better. My big problem with public ratings, is what will happen when a troll who doesn't care goes off. There have been far too many incidents for me to say "if". And those are a pain. And have nearly caused me to quit the game.

I like this idea, actually. It'd be cool to have a section of most liked squads. Of course, people can make fake accounts and like their own squads 58 times, but it at least stops some abuse.

And have nearly caused me to quit the game. I was going to say something similar to this. Totally agree that just having comments are the ideal. A "Like" button would be fine, especially since there is no metric to determine what a single numeric rating represents.

I think that adding the proxy miniature to V-sets would be nice, so you can see which Yoda, Jabba, etc. the V-set used. It's not urgent or important, but it is just something that could add a bit more to the site.
