Remove the ratings of people you add to Foe list [Rejected]

Concise description:

When you add someone to your Foe list the ratings they left you should be removed as well.

Specifics/Details:

I have gotten some randomly bad ratings and its very frustrating. I have gotten bad ratings for fair play on games where I never talked to anyone in the game, I did my turns on time, and tried my best to win. I don't understand how I deserved a bad rating for fair play. I think if you add someone to your foe list because they low balled you on the ratings and gave you ratings you don't feel you deserved then the ratings they left you should be removed.

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:

It is discouraging to get bad ratings when you don't understand why you got them or to be the target of someone's frustration and bad attitude because THEY lost. I have gotten this a few times and as fun as the game is I'm tired of getting undeserved bad feedback. I think being able to take away ratings you feel are undeserved would add to the overall satisfaction of the game. Plus once I see the ratings left for me it is too late to leave them a bad rating in return so there is no recourse once you feel you've been cheated in the ratings. I have to say this has been very discouraging for me and has taken away from the fun of the game. I would say that at this time I am considering quitting the site. If anyone would like to check up on what I am saying then message me with a game, let's play and you can tell me honestly if I didn't play fair or had a bad attitude and win or lose I will always try my best.

You'll always have to deal with immature idiots in public games leaving crap ratings.....unfortuately. Look for a clan or group to join if you like the site but are frustrated with the public sector.

While your idea is sound, it would be abused by people trying to tweak their ratings up, IMO.

It would be extremely easy for everyone to have perfect (5.0) ratings if they could simply foe anyone that rated them below maximum.

To stop abuse you could say that if you remove them from your foe list their ratings will come back. So people who abuse it and foe a lot of people will eventually have a hard time finding a game to play because they will have "foed" too many people.

There are 500,865 users; you'll have to foe a ton of people before you start running out of people to play against.

I'm sorry, but this won't be happening.

This would go against he policy of "You are allowed to foe whoever you like". And since this would easily be abused to get a 5.0 I will be moving this to Rejected
