oh god... here's the rating review bulls*** again...
- Ok, you must admit that was the most creative cussing this site have ever seen -
Not even that alspal, just give the stars and leave a comment if you want. The whole point of the system is you do not have to say why. The ratings says it all.
Either remove the 0 Stars or have message when hovering over each star(If we don't have that already) and have the lowest possible rating say something fair such as "Needs a just a little more work"
Maybe copy Deviantart and the Projects section?
No numerical ratings but a +fave rating. Which can then be seen from a persons profile and tallies up the number of faves as a kind of rating.
Maybe (but a big maybe, since people download and don't comment often) work out a percentage of how good a game is by the downloads against the +faves? No that's a bad idea.
Because we're a creative forum and not a big mofo games site we do need a different way of rating a game.
Obviously keep reviews since so few games actually have them, and they don't alter the games position on the download page.
I don't know what I'm saying now. But if you don't do this I'll get really really mad
How about this, leave the rating system how it is. Allow people to give a thumbs up or down to a rating. If the thumbs are in the negative then the creator has the option of removing the rating.
For example let's say the negative limit is 10. Once that rating gets to -10 then the creator can remove it.
Or, keep the reviews as they are, and change the rating function to the thumbs-up system, like in the project faves, and no thumbs-down at all! Actually, exactly what Shab said!
I can't remember there ever being a thumbs-up only system, but I've been here on and off since the start, so it could've been during an off-period of mine.

The more complex the system, the more people can abuse it.
