Check out ZD then Kazuma's rating on here:

Then Slawogames rating on here:

http://www.create-games.com/download.asp?id=7338

Is 0 stars really "fair" ? I mean, if someone has made even the tiniest effort, surely it's worth more than 0 stars? Also, there's hardly any reasoning as to why they gave it such a crap rating. It can't exactly be anything personally, really. Ricky Garces and Codemonkey are both perfectly friendly people in the community, so are these people rating 0 fake fake accounts or does the rating system need tweaking? I know this has been discussed recently, but Kazuma's rating and reasoning in Sewah Runs by Codemonkey is most unagreeable, and I'm disgusted if people are allowed to get away with that.

Maybe we should just get rid of the 0 stars.

Maybe these guys are still used to the thumbs system so they use the rating system the same way.

I've often disagreed with Adams views, but he has read my mind here and every word he has written is pure gold - Admins, please do something about these idiots ruining the scores of some damn fine games on this site! Me and -CodeMonkey- were just discussing the zero scores for Sewah Runs and i suggested a system where 1 or 2 low/zero scores that are miles away from (for example) 8 people's high scores, they should be displayed but not used to calculate the average score. This way the person will be named and shamed but their score will not ruin someones efforts.

People put alot of time, effort, talent and dedication into their games, put their necks on the line in terms of pride and reputation and i think the site owes them some protection from these morons. These great games make this site the hotbed of activity that it is, so please Admins, help us out and do us a favour; please resolve this issue!

That's a good idea.

The only reason there would be to rate 0 stars (if there ever was a reason) would be that they stole the game from someone else, or there was no game in the first place.

That stupid Smash Bros Brawl game from a while back got 0 stars from me, so i agree there are some out there. However, if everyone voted 4/5 stars for that game then fair enough, i'm in the minority and to be honest i wouldn't mind having my score discounted.

I think we should go away with every rating beneath 3 stars anyway. Because then no one could be upset cause they got a bad rating.

 
- Ok, you must admit that was the most creative cussing this site have ever seen -

No, seriously. You should remove the 0 at once, this is a community, so let the community decide. Start a poll at once!

I'm not sure zero scores are the problem, it's the idiots issuing them to games that everyone else thinks is great. Zeros are being abused!!

No I still believe the 0 rating is obsolete, what reason is there to rate a game 0? A 0 is not constructive in any way, the only reason to rate a game 0 is if you want the person to not make games at all. Cause if you just think it's a horrible, horrible game, then you still acknowledge it as a game, and every game wheter good or bad is something the author spent his/her time creating. And by exposing yourself to the creative process you will advance. So instead of just discouraging developers of bad games, encourage them to make good games by at least dignifying their game with a 1, or just don't rate at all.

And a more concrete reason for getting rid of the 0 rating is that the majority of game review magazines don't use them, why should we?

I think the 0 should stay. How else are you going to shame someone for purposely making crap?
