Attitude - Self explanatory.

You are abusing the system - Whatever you think of someones attitude should not reflect poorly in the other categories - just the attitude one.

Same story with the other categories. If someone is too slow that is more of a game play rating or fair play etc.....


This is an excellent point that I do not believe has been addressed.


Then you did not read this post? viewtopic.php?p=3257239#p3257239


I did read that post. I'm struggling with how, for example, saying good game prior to the game being over is an example of unfair play or poor strategy.

Because he pulls out the words "enjoyable game" and "chivalry" from the description of "game play" and "fair play", and uses them to relate each of the 3 ratings to attitude. If for any reason he didn't enjoy your company, he can justify 1-star ratings across the board. (In reality, he just found loopholes in the instructions to go back and justify the vindictive ratings he originally left.)

He's been warned, so the C&A team agrees that he's abusing the system. The best course of action now is to stop indulging him in his delusions.

A very good point. CC should remove chivalry from fair play description.

Fair Play: Covers suiciding, secret alliance suspicion, breaking or respecting alliances, chivalry, etc...
Gameplay: Measures the player's ability to play an enjoyable game (not the player's ability to win). Covers strategy, diplomacy, teamwork, etc...
Attitude: Covers behaviour in chat, foul language, sore losers, gracious winners, "great chatters!", whining about luck, etc...

And in this paragraph add "performance" with "behavior".

Whenever leaving ratings, use caution and good judgement. You are responsible for the ratings that you leave and they become a permanent part of the other member's record, so be sure to leave only fair and factual ratings that relate to the member's behaviour in the game.
