Who's Dropping all my Ratings ?

Published on January 7, 2004 By fivesballs In WinCustomize Talk

I know this has nothing to do with the recent problems that have occured with the site but... someone went through my library and dropped all my ratings within the past couple of hours

!!! Why would someone do this to me ? not only have i lost over 3,000 dls/Many comments and some ratings because of the recent problems but now this... I mean it's hard for me to buy a dl/Rating or comment ..I understand thier are no answers but i just don't understand why someone would do this?(Someone make me understand the motive) I try to ignore ratings but 10's are 5's/ 7's are 4's Very discouraging to say the least

And i guess i just wanted to say i'm well aware of it and not to happy At All

It seems to me that a unethical person with a grudge against you and just got the ability to rate, went and did an awful thing.

Not all of your ratings were dropped, I looked over it and rated a few myself noticing that some had NO ratings at all and remained on 6's. That leads me to believe no one went through and "dropped all your ratings" but the rating system isn't there just for people to put high ratings up. It's completely opinion based and you can't expect everybody to like everything.

yes,most were 7 and 8,not to bad really.Some skins lost their previous ratings in the crash.Check to see if you have any showing 0 rates of a 6.T-man explained that they cant be recovered.(it actually helped the rating on 1 of mine because the next rate I got was higher than the initial rating.)If someone is maliciously rating,they can be found out.

Well Thanks again for your time .And in regaurds to #2 I do not expect everyone to like everything and certainly don't care about the ratings really but when i notice ratings abuse i got to Question the responsibility of the person givin this right Including myself....Just because i got 20 bucks does this make me a responsible person ? I think not ...

I just wonder who else this is happening to and should things change in regaueds to this situation ?Anyways again Thanks Koasati one minute ratings were low next minute they were back to normal...Thought i was losin my mind

This happens. If you keep an eye out you will see this type of post on the MSGBD from time to time. About a year ago someone went down the top authors list and proceded to hand out 1's. That time adni brought it to light. But theres been others affected by the lone low ball rater.
