no silver and bronze for nl or sm? we need more raters!

150 downloads and no ratings, come on, what has happened to this site?

Congrats on the winners this week!

I hope you're not talking about your track. Uploaders are always concerned with their downloads and rate ratio but never have anything to say when it comes to their own lack of rating other uploaders' rides... 150 downloads is not a lot A113. Nothing ''happened'' to this site, no need to blame and point fingers when your 150-times-downloaded track doesn't have a rating. You can't congratulate winners of awards but you can complain about the flawed rating system that won them their awards. Rude rude rude.

I've been trying to get back into rating tracks on a more regular basis but life gets in the way a lot these days :/

And this is nothing you need to explain to us. You are fine.

G - taking the offensive against someone who submitted a track and got no rating is NOT rude. He didn't call anyone out by name personally and his rant is as valid as they come. I don't even know what your unedited post was but your edited post is pretty forward IMO.

I'd have had the EXACT same response. It is pretty crappy that only 1 ride got enough rates to get a medal. REALLY crappy.

[mkingy]

Rant isn't valid. He doesn't rate anyone else's coasters so why should he expect the same in return? I checked through a good month's worth before his upload and didn't spot one rate from him!

It's pretty crappy that people complain about not getting rates when they don't even bother to either.

The only person that springs to mind that could complain is tmv8888 who rates his arse off and gets barely any in return. (Although he does upload self admitted "mediocre" coasters)

I have an answer! More people like you came along? Like those who don't rate much at all. Here's your stats:
You have downloaded 407, rated 53
Which means you've only rated 13% of what you have downloaded.

Not flaming you, just presenting the problem.

We could also look over to mkingy and his stats are:
You have downloaded 994, rated 46
Which means he has rated uhmm 5% of what he has downloaded.

So, yup, that's the problem. We have been talking about a forced rating system here lately and getting close to something, so if I were you guys, I would back and rate what you've downloaded. At least try to catch up.

scream machines gets more ratings than no limits...

You could look at my stats since I came back which is 10 rated of 27 downloaded and 5 of the last 10 I downloaded (probably 6 of 10 by tonight). At least I'm trying to improve things and actually rate rather than not rate and complain that nobody else does?

Not a chance I'm spending my time giving rates to rides nobody is even going to read. Rather spend my time as I'm doing now rating current coasters for members that are still actually active on the site and actually encourage people to stay within the community.
