not to stray off topic but I want to bring up another subject
how about NC going back to the 10 point scale for reviews, since 9's and 10's are thrown around so recklessly almost every map gets that extra point, I've never seen a map underated, plus when a map gets a bad score then the friend or clanmate of the map maker comes by and throws in a 10 just to spite the reviewer and other people that give low scores
I've never in my 4 year stay at NC have given any map a 10 and I doubt I ever will, I've only given 2 maps 9's
The .5 system is valid and worthwhile now that it's up and running.
Unless there is some way of implementing a sliding scale from realistic to stupid to abjectly ridiculous you will never get people to behave realistically with regard to the ratings system and I see this is still the case in the last couple of days.
Just as well you haven't enabled scientific notation and superscripting as you would need a Cray (and probably a very large server farm to store the results) to work out the monthly hotlist!
I hate to be pessemistic but this unrealistic rating binge that clan members or mapfriends have perpetrated will probably continue. The spam ratings will continue, the adventure will continue........
Some people will continue to be disappointed by downloading over-rated maps based on poor to non-existent screenshots and then they will flame rate the map and there will be spam reprisals and retalliations......
"The cosmic ballet continues.........."
As a visitor to your site I will continue to respect anyone who is objectively honest, at least about their opinions, if not entirely about their ratings. And the same goes for mappers' reactions to honest ratings too...
THE END
