I think moderators can see who rates and how much. If not, they should!


No we can't ,
squad ratings are hidden from all, except maybe Shinja

Ok, Thanks Jak,
Maybe this should be fixed. Could be helpful.

That's not up to me.
I'm sure Shinja has a good reason for doing it this way.

who really cares what squads are rated anyways. people who aren't well known don't get their squads rated anyways. I've posted a few of my own and I stay relativley quiet around here and noone ever even rates or comments anyways cuz I'm not on here posting everyday. I just want ideas on what to do to make them better, maybe I missed something or something wont work because I read the card wrong and most the times people don't even know how to rate because maybe I would use squad A better than someone else so they look at it and think it sucks so they give it a two and vice versa. People who are on here posting all the time post a squad and within ia day they have like thirty or more votes maybe 3 or 4 comments and they say they only post squads to get feedback but then are on here pissing and moaning cuz everyone didn't give 9s or 10s. there shouldnt be top rated squads because the whole point should be to make them better and the people who actually look for the help never get it

Letting us see who gave the squads what rating would be a bad idea, in my opinion. For example: if you know that a particular member thinks your squad is only a 4, won't you take it personally against that person? I just think it's opening up a can of worms that doesn't need to be opened. We just have to accept that some people are going to be annoying, posting 1s to squads they know are better than that. It's the nature of internet anonymity: some people will be jerks.

But I don't think that's even the issue. The issue is that this "Top 10 List" is being thought too highly of. If you think your squad is worth a 9 or a 10, run it at Tournaments and *show* people how hard it is to beat. Then people will start talking on the forums about your squad, and you'll get your notoriety.

DP, this isn't as big a deal as you're making it out to be. Opinions change, and should be allowed to.

The whole 1-rating issues stemmed from an inability to roll with the punches.

Your squad exists as your own, it is posted on this site. it shouldn't matter if it's on a particular page.

Take it in stride, and accept that nothing is eternal.

YES, YES, OH THE HUMANITY, YES.

Please rmember people THIS IS NOT ABOUT AVERAGE SQUAD RATINGS.
THIS POLL IS FOR SQUADS WHO REACHED THE TOP 10 OF ALL TIME.

THE QUESTION IS: SHOULD SQUADS ON THAT LIST STILL BE ABLE TO GET RATED EVEN THOUGH THEY ALREADY REACHED THE TOP 10.

As for my idea's with 1 bandits & regular squad ratings. Make it manditory to leave a comment when you rate. This way if the 1 bandit still has the nerve to give you a 1 , then atleast he will have to leave a comment & you'll see the users name, then you can ban them for it.

I know what question you were asking, and my argument was based on that question.

Yes. If the top ten squads can't be voted on, then the top nine become unchanging.

If you don't like how the Squad rating system works, then by all means, STOP ABUSING IT....

this could be considered baiting

I think recent events have proven without a doubt that public ratings is a bad, bad idea. People go on vendatta's when they THINK they know who rated them. The mods have enough trouble with the current system without trying to police peoples opinions of squads. Seriously, we aren't mind readers, we can't know a person's thought process.

Honestly, just look up the other threads on this issue to get a better arguement from me.
