[09-Jun-2008] Ratings & Medals

[JBoy]

this is all so stupid, being graded for attendance, feel like i'm in kindergarten, i just had a power outage for 36 hours, missed a bunch of turns in games, guess my attendance is poor, stupid, and teamwork, i only play singles , so what f-ck-ng team am i on ? hey i got an idea , make everybody a conqueror or a general so all the moronic crybabies can quit crying about their rank and maybe concentrate on learning how to play, you're going to have people crying soon because somebody has more medals than they got and how come ? boo-hoo...

Is there a way to see how I'm progressing on medals without having to go the game finder and add everything up.

Future updates to medals will hopefuly have an easier way to track.

Teamwork only applies if you have played a team game with someone, or they have with you. Anyways, if you'd like to attempt any flaming, you can do so in the Flame Wars forum.

seems like your the crybaby about the new system. you still can see your old feedback for a bit. its not all lost.

[dalliance]

I prefer to know why someone is a bad/ not fun player instead of some star rating. i think a loooot of people are going to have all 5 or close to it. the feedback helps you know exactly what previous players thought

[jiminski]

it'll all be ok in the morning!

[Limey Lyons]

Lame.

Leaving feedback was great. Reading feedback was amusing. Now there's no detail and it's impossible to know how bad each other really are. So, no thanks to this dumbed down fisher price feedback system - it sucks.
by the way, all your other improvements have been great but this one really is terrible. if you don't want to moderate feedback, then don't.

next you'll be issuing fair play medals - go get bought out by hasbro and be done with it.

[KARKAJU]

i am soo pleased with the new system - great job people!!

[Limey Lyons]

oh yeah, and where's the exceptional foul mouth medal.

[dalliance]

i agree with limey lyons

[MaQmlgh]

I like the idea of the stars and medals for people.

Andy-

the mods screwed up by making this change. you know it...I know it...and most of the people posting in this forum and saying it.

this is eerily similar to the blanket changes made to Classic Map

I appreciate the effort made by the Mods in creating the change but change just for change-sake is not productive.

[dalliance]

another thing about positive feedback is that it is much harder to obtain than a star rating because most people do not bother to leave it. it is already like a medal in itself.

[Limey Lyons]

in addition - now there really is no incentive to not be a complete fucking wanker when you feel like it....please don't give me 1 star...what a load of bollocks.

[joesdad]

Just admit you screwed up and go back to feedback. Quit being so dammed politicaly correct. The feedbacks gave us a much more entertaining and infomative read. And if your to lazy to moderate feedback like the Limey said dont do it.

[rocky mountain]

to all the complainers of the system: maybe for next time you can find out what potential updates there are by looking in general discussion and posting in the discussion thread of that topic. there was a "new feedback preview" thread and you could've posted your thoughts there instead of complaining about it now. for future reference...

[dalliance]

seriously. some peoples' negative feedback is good enough to sit and read for fun

[dalliance]

i don't have that kind of time...

[rocky mountain]

you certainly seem to have a lot of time now...

[azezzo]

oh yeah, and where's the exceptional foul mouth medal.

exactly!

so when i play someone like codeblue who shoots his mouth off ALL THE TIME, i'm supposed to only give him 1 stare for attitude?

this is chicken shit!

and no, i do not want to have to look at the "wall"

[dalliance]

psh, it's been like ten minutes

[dalliance]

and i might start reading the forums more

very well said.

[rocky mountain]

there you go. now you can know what will be done to the site. it doesn't take very long to read through the suggestions and post something

[DiM]

2 things:
1. i didn't get the map maker medal and the tourney organizer medal. why?
2. under what conditions is the Special Contribution medal awarded? i mean map makers and tourney organizers have a medal so it's not for them. perhaps it is for the moderators? or for the script developers (bob, cm, etc)??
