I'm slightly confused... Didn't I get second for the week behind TMV8888's ride, and shouldn't third be Ajax Coasters' ride?

the system is flawed, we learn to accept it
What are these for?

But that doesn't seem flawed, it seems wrong. That second place ride isn't even on the top coasters for the week section, it was posted last week. Plus getting first when there was a coaster with a higher rate up is wrong, I didn't actually deserve first, lol.

TMV's only got 1 rate, I believe you require 2 rates to qualify. The system is also flawed also because people submitting later in the week get significantly less time to be rated.

Personally I'd like to see a week delay on the awards, with rides that haven't got 2 rates that week given a bit of forum publicity in the second week maybe.

ALSO not sure why cold steel wasn't included... 2 rates and uploaded same date :S Bot is broken I think.

Yeah, my ride only got one rate also, lol. I remember the two rate rule back in the day, but I'd understand that being changed due to less traffic. It's no big deal, just thought I'd check into why my ride got first, TMV's didn't place(both our rides at one rate each), and Cold Steel with two rates didn't place? Haha. But again, no biggie! (:

I could care less about the points. Just think credit should be given to those who earned it.

I think cold steel didn't count because I 'rated' my ride by adding a comment. I'm pretty sure if you what a chance in weekly awards you can't rate...

We need to overhaul the entire site. Unfortunately there's no funds in the budget for that. There's no funds for anything XD That aside, we should just stop doing awards altogether until we can get a reliable method for them.

Well, without overhauling the whole site, can't someone just look at the top three tracks for the week and reward them?? Lol.
