I have had it

nobody rates a ride on what it is. oh out of a billion supports you used some prefabs. look you used prefab elements NO I DIDNT. you assume to much. RATE THE RIDE FOR WHAT IT IS NOT FOR YOUR PRECONCIEVED BULs@@@@ NOTIONS. GOOD LUCK IF I TAKE PART HERE ANYMORE.

Hey you stole my line! [;)]. Its true, better known designers will get rates earlier than others, but if you want a file to be rated:

-Post something you actually put effort into.
-Post a screenie so we know if it looks interesting enough to download, and make it nice looking, not like a pic of the restraint. Presentation is everything.
-Dont ask for rates, in most cases members get annoyed and then dont rate in the future.
-Be patient and wait for rates, sometimes it may take a day or two.
-Post an "advertisement" in the Track Advertisement section.

Try doing these things first, I garuntee that you will get some rates pretty early on. If you post a link to the ride I may give it a spin in the editor, but my simulator aint working ATM, so I really cant rate it for ya.

What he said, you just have to stick with it and ignore the arseholes that are around...as long as your happy with the track thats all that should matter

I totally agree I don't post tracks much these days, I just think people get to caught up in the technical side of things!. How many coasters have you been on that are perfect!.(yes B&M have made boring coasters and some rough coasters!)

Also, if you want more ratings, post a shout out as well. (obviously linking to the track) And don't upload 10 coasters a day. (limit it to 1 or 2 per month, that's how long it should take anyways)

^ shout outs don't work for me. I don't think I've downloaded very many from the shout out box link.
