I don't mean the community is dying. I mean this was a nice site 2 weeks ago and now it's crybaby palace again. It's back to talentless jerks giving good games bad ratings and everybody being nasty at each other. I was just getting ready to share my games here again, put I don't see the point now.
I don't think TDC is so bad. I'm still enjoying peoples games, comments and ratings don't matter that much. It's easy to be happy, all you have to do is not care, lets all try it
No you're not, you're fairly peaceful, unlike me at the best of times. I think it would be worse if I never made games though, Id have little purpose here, like some of the people that go around TDC and release one game every 3 years.
even at the risk of being shouted at,
im gonna say no, this is a bad idea, and for sure it'll be abused in some way, somewhere along the line.
and it'll get people mad too, and cause a whole new war.
maybe allow people to change their ratings tho, incase they change their mind about what they think a game deserves
To be fair the admins are only removing ratings that are blatant attacks. I'm pretty sure if people rate a game 0 stars and have a good reason to (more than "I didn't like this game" or "I was in a bad mood") then there wouldn't be any need to delete a rating and we wouldn't be in the mess we are in now.
I think that this solution is really good!
Why is that you say?
Well, the most obvious point being that the people in a position to abuse the rating system now is admins, not users or fake accounts, but our admins.
Second point is that an admin is only allowed to change a vote "If the comments in the rating suggest this was only done to rate the game higher or lower without proper explanation to support the users rating. This also includes if no comments were given with a rating."
Third and final point, can anyone even imagine the gigantuar flaming that would ensue if an admin abused his/her power to remove ratings? That person wouldn't be an admin for long. I personally believe that our admins are wise enough to think twice if they -against all odds- felt an incontrollable urge to abuse power on TDC.
And about the cowmunity is teh evldie666 I would like to point out that it sure as biscuits is not. A few days ago it was [insert flame WWII here], but now the rain has stopped and the sun has come out. (Look at me! I'm getting a tan!)
So instead of us being grumpy and leaving we should appreciate the very quick and effective actions taken by our admins to satisfy as many of us nagging users as possible.
I thank Rikus and his squad of merry men for bothering to listen to all petty bickering for the 9000:nth time to begin with. Thank You!
I think we should all express some gratiude towards them.

And some people just think that 4/5 or 8/10 is 'average' when rating a game (see the article, "8/10? Why do you hate my game?")...
jrp is the only one i can think of that constantly votes every single peice of crap game a 5 because its "the coolest game ever goodjob!"
