not a huge thing but as the first person to give the rating i'd like to get the last word if my opponent responds. especially if they respond with lies.

First off, we have a form for you to use. Second, soon people are going to want that respond button to go on and on. Then it will only turn into more flames, then more than likely get removed.

I tend to agree. I definitely understand where you're coming from with this, Trevor, as there are times when I've thought the same thing. However, you do get "your say" (even though it's not in words) when you give the rating and tags, and it is fair that the other individual be allowed to respond to it.

I guess I'd say that it shouldn't be TOO much of a concern for you because if your ratings and tags are accurate, then you certainly won't be the only one to give those ratings and tags to that individual...so their response in defense of themselves becomes meaningless once people can see that they receive them consistently. If that makes sense.

Now granted, you have given very few ratings trevor, thus you may only rate the poor players you meet and never the good ones, but a look at your given ratings makes one think along the lines of rating abuse...

yeah fair point. the game that got me poasting this was a guy asking why only players who he knocked out gave him bad ratings, when in fact in our game the guy who won the game (neither of us) was the one who knocked both of us out.

Are you saying the current responses are flames? If so, I agree. I think the responses should be removed. It gived the "rated" an unfair opportunity to write "feedback," which is a system I thought the site ditched.
