"Games Needing Rating" Tab in My Games

by **PepperJack** on Fri Aug 22, 2008 5:46 pm

Concise description:

Add a 4th tab to My Games page specifically devoted to games in which you have player(s) that you have not previously rated.

Specifics:

If a game has at least 1 player that you have not rated it will show up in this tab.
Both Recently Finished games and Eliminated games would have to be displayed here.

This will improve the following aspects of the site:

While the Recently Finished tab does a fair job of ordering games based on when they ended, sometimes a game will end and not be anywhere near the top. This is particularly noticeable when playing a bunch of speed games in one sitting. By having the Games Needing Rating tab players are encouraged to rate players b/c they no longer will have to hunt for the games they are in.

1. There are currently 4 tabs on the my games page
2. Why should the players be seperated , when they are marked differently
3. Would a game be displayed in both, or only the new tab?
4. What is the point of rating someone after you have given out over 500 of them (gold ratings medal)?

1. Whoops, numbers are hard. Should be 5th tab.

2. Sometimes games which have a player that you haven't rated get buried in the Recently Finished game. Even with the different star types, it can be hard to pick out those 2 random guys when you have 80 some odd games in the Recently Finished tab.

3. I'd be amenable to either, whatever is easier to implement. Though it is more "Web 2.0" to have items show up in multiple labels rather than have a staunch hierarchy to adhere to.

4. Don't understand this question's pertinence. Ratings aren't there to get a medal (though that's how I used them originally). They're there to give information about players (assuming the tags are eventually used in a constructive fashion).

I could add this to the Waiting Games script as that's just a games filter also.

So on the recently finished page you could click on a button and it only shows you games where you have or have not rated people.

I agree this needs to be made easier.

Done. You can now filter your recently finished games page by games you have not given any ratings in.

The script has been renamed to Games Filter:

viewtopic.php?f=59&t=59119&view=unread#unread

It also filters the join game and game finder results btw.
