I just realised something... the best sites in the world don't even use real ratings/points anymore. Even if they do, they're meaningless, like Worth 1000's ( www.worth1000.com ) post rating system.
Why? Because they bring nothing but trouble. C'mon, there's been complaints about people who are 'misjudged' because of their ratings. And what about those crappy games with absolutely nothing in them? They're probably just there so that the guy who put them there would get a higher rating.
What do we get from abolishing ratings?
1. Less member interaction (though not all member interaction is good, anyway)
2. No more feudal-era status levels (which isn't really a bad thing either)
3. Less to reward in competitions (which brings in more sincerity, less quality, and less competitors)
But then again, do you all still want to deal with those crappy games that nobody in their right mind would play? I'm sure some of you admins (especially Circy ) have gotten pissed off by them all too often in the past.

That'll lead to even more discrimination. At least with the usual DC points, even the legends are considered 'newbie'. If the points were actually accurate, well... you can guess the elitism that'll bring.
We need a DC that gives justice to all, without any discrimination or oppression!

dc points are not a judge of skill level. argh, i'm getting tired saying this: it's a judge of your participation at the site. i think they could be reworded; e.g. "Newbie" -> "New on DC", normal member could stay the same, "expert member" maybe to "high participant", just to stop all the confusion. but if we didn't have them we wouldn't know our Smebys from our... well, our normal people
Shut your pie hole Pyry you stupid newbie... go back to Newtopia!
