Every Ride Deserves A Rate Initiative

I think this is a bit unfair to people who can't give advice because the ride they're downloading far exceeds the realness of anything they'd ever produce. It leaves the person who'd love to download the ride unable to download because after they ride the ride, they're expected to leave rating comments in different categories, categories they just do not do very well.

Personally I think you can still rate those rides with numbers. Even though you'd might never reach the quality of that certain track. Just as long you'd give a good explanation why you like certain parts. Perhaps a bit more difficult than mentioning every flaw in a track, but positive feedback is still feedback.

Even a daily visit are recognizable in the system for the point bonus. Check the logs in the point store.

Yea Meta, every 24 hours if you are active on one page of the site, you get 5 points.

My hand coaster need a rate or two.

I really don't get how you guys can download 4 rides and not have something to say about it. I mean really there is usually room for improvement somewhere you can comment on. I try to rate 3/4 of what I download (sometimes it takes a couple days), but really it's not hard.

Oh I have plenty to say for everthing I download, I just don't have the energy to form my thoughts into words with a keyboard

You all need to rate more.

My latest jet coaster and the one before that still needs a rate.

Only because i am quite proud of my work with my latest project, i would really like to see a rate, or at least some kind of feedback on it. I spent quite some time working on it and i was hoping at least a few people enjoyed it.

^ Sorry I can't rate yours, though I have RCT3, because my hard drive is now broken. That's why I can't load your file...

Don??t know if this is the right place for it but I??ve spend a few hours on writing down a suitable rating system for realisitc NoLimits 2 rides lately.
Maybe it helps a few people to easier drop adequate numbers in the ratings.

What do you think about the table and it??s distribution of points?
If it??s good enough we should open a small topic where those tables are collected for all uploadable file types to have a good rating guideline.
This could help on making the rates a bit more objective.

I think this system will motivate a lot of NL beginners, because they can get an average score by paying attention to E-Stop, Tunnel Test, and Forces. These important skills lead to other categories! Safety or Technical goes with Realism and Rider Value, when Adrenaline is tied to Uniqueness.

Yeah I use a similar spreadsheet that I can add comments to for my ratings too!

[TTD03]

I think these are great additions to help new raters!

10 rides need a rate for the next weekly awards! Help us out and drop a rate!

I rated "Fire Wood" by Kevin S! Worth downloading because the layout was way too awesome for his first upload! It also sent me to click "Like it!" button.

Update for Next Week's weekly awards!
