Cannot rate..?

[Rideg]

Hello, The title describes it all I cannot rate other scenes... Any! Can someone please help me??

[link0007]

Are you logged in on algobox?

What is the message next to the rating bar? There is always some text next to a rating bar.

[Rideg]

"You are not allowed to rate"

[link0007]

Well then you have been banned from rating, because you weren't rating fair

[Rideg]

what?? since when did I do that?? :'O

[link0007]

Huh, I assume you're the user Rideg on algobox too? Well then you're not banned..

What scenes do you have this problem on?

[Rideg]

No "rideg" was my brother I'm "Raydeg" on Algobox, he gave me his account on the forums since he stopped playing Phun / Algodoo.

[Rideg]

Do you have any Ideas??

[Mystery]

Pm Link, or wait for him to look at this thread.

[link0007]

Well Raydeg, you indeed have been rating banned. This happened on 2010/03/22 16:37:55

[Rideg]

what..? but how? Is there any way of reverting this? :'O

[Mystery]

Learn how to use the rating system. Obviously you have taken it for granted and abused it.

Hell, link is fairly easy to persuade, so long as your right

Prove to him, you know what the rating system is for, how you should use it fairly, that you won't do it again and why.

[Rideg]

Yes I know the rating system and what it's for. It is used to response the maker of the scene that've been uploaded by him/her. To give a quick review of his/her work and to quickly grade the scene. Though I've misunderstood that this was a free website.

I usually comment when I rate to really make sure the creator of my opinion. I don't know why I've been banned and I really want to rate again because I think there's lot of good scenes that deserves a rating, but apperently I'm not suitable to do that.

If I would get my rating option back I would consider this matter before I rate.

[Blazemann]

Generally, abuse is not from rating well, but for rating scenes "1". Have you ever rated scenes as 1? I bet you have. Did you know, that a 1 is basically a nono? NEVER GIVE A 1 UNLESS IT IS A RULE-BREAKING SCENE!

[Chronos]

Actually, you can give it a 1 if you think it sucks more than any other scene. The 'report' button is for scenes that break the rules.

[Rideg]

yeah I was sure the rating system wass free, that it was your personal opinion. Anyway, I'm glad I have it back for now and "Blazemann": Sure I've rated 1 who hasn't, though I don't rate good scenes bad unless I have a darn good reason to. Thank you whoever that got my rating Permission back ( lookin' at Link )

[Rideg]

Now it have happened again I'v not even rated bad, lowest was a 5 I can remember that! please what is going on here! If I can't even rate that then why don't you just put in a "like this" instead of a rating system.

[Mystery]

XD your clearly do not understand how the rating system should be used. It doesn't matter what you rate it matters how you rate.

[Chronos]

why don't you just put in a "like this" instead of a rating system.

Those suck. You can't give someone a certain score. I can't say that I liked one thing but didn't like another with a 'like/dislike' system. That's what rating is for. 8 means it can be improved, 9 means almost there, etc... I hate that YouTube is using a 'like/dislike' system for that very reason.

So no, there will be no 'like/dislike' system.

[Rideg]

But Please then can you inform me. and I'd really like an explanation why I've been banned again( or I think I've been ) Because, what I've been told I'm allowed to rate 5-10 and never 1, no matter what I think of the scene!

[Chronos]

You probably aren't banned. Algobox might just be having some problems again.

[Mystery]

Or if you rated one of your brothers scenes (FYI your not supposed to) you could have been banned.

[Rideg]

No I havn't. It's not my job getting his scenes rated high...

[Mystery]

He could have rated one of your scenes, :S
