I remember a while ago there was a lot of 1 ratings being thrown around this site. It was never very specific but I think the mods implied there was one particular member trying to lower the average rating so their squads got into the top picks. Having lucked into having a top squad way back when I first got on this site, I can understand how cool it felt to see my 66 Strafers squad over on the left-hand margin, and I'm a grown man with a job and a life. If I was a kid it'd probably have been much cooler. Still, that lowball rating stuff is sleazier than selling $2 wine in a $12 bottle.

Anyways. I've been working 60 or 80 hours a week and tired all the time for months now. As a cheap, easy pastime I've been making a lot of squads and posting them, hoping for feedback so that when I finally get more time to play I'm not as terrible as I have been during the occasional games I've done vs my friends. I've been noticing that an awful lot of these squads get only one rating, and that rating is a 5. It really peaked a few weeks ago, though that might have just been me spending more time making squads.

I won't be all that surprised if my squads are actually just not very good, but I have to wonder if there's more going on than that.
