Why all the two word ratings lately?

People say like "cool coaster" "this track is cool" and rate all one number across the board.

^I've noticed these too. They're everywhere lately, people giving straight ratings and just saying 2 words. I've reported some to TTD03, but I think something needs to be done to the rating system. It's the same people doing it too...

Because people download too many rides and rate a track in order to be able to download again.
Yet these people don't know you can also leave a rate without dropping a number on a track.

Two word ratings... plus I saw two 10/10's today. They were not judged properly.

^Just 2? the entire all time best is full of tracks that have been given 10/10 by Great Richard

Use the report function by clicking the little hazard button next to the rate. It means any moderator can see it and sort out the rate. We have a system in place to warn people and hand out temporary bans if people continue to abuse the rating system - these repeat bad raters will slowly be removed from the site.

Currently we can't search for all the rates by a certain member so people reporting rates helps us moderators greatly.

^That's great! I'll be sure to use it if I see anything.

Wish I could use that button properly, but need some courage.
