What would happen if we went back to feedback?

I know this is a suggestion, but because I always get accused of flaming outside of flame wars (even when I don't flame and other people flame me much worse) I thought I'd better post it in here.

wicked abused the feedback system. Rather than moderating by the guidelines that lackattack had installed, she made up her own rules along the way, depending on who she disliked or who she wanted to give hell. As a result, the system became full of double standards and created more confusion and problems for everybody. Examples of her abuse include:

-Going into my "feedback left" page and deleting about 25 negatives (and neutrals) that she didn't like. When I inquired in an e-ticket as to why she did this, I was told that they use the blanket feedback method every time someone registers a feedback complaint. When I reported numerous negative feedbacks that had been left for me, they deleted the feedback but didn't do the blanket method to the person who had left it. When I inquired as to why they didn't delete all the stupid negatives from that person they didn't like, they told me to mind my own business.

-wicked deleted a negative feedback for me from firth4eva because it was "not game related", even though I wanted it on my record. When I then sent an e-ticket reporting all the stupid negatives bk blunt had on his feedback recieved list, King achilles told me people could recieve negatives if they were okay with it.

-wicked had me on a 2 week ban, and near the end of the ban I asked a player to give me a negative. She kept me on the ban for an extra day until I had to play the bullshit apology card. I didn't even abuse the system by asking for a negative!

-Deleted numerous neutrals that I had left, including this one:
Missed 2 turns in a speed game. Some moderators would say it is trivial, but I would say it is far from a trivial matter for him to hold up 7 other players like this guy did.
Deleted by moderator for this reason: trivial

Then when I appealed a neutral I had recieved to King achilles, he told me players could say whatever they want in neutrals.

The list goes on, but basically I think it was wicked that made the feedback system the disaster that it is. If the new ratings system doesn't work out, maybe we can consider going back to feedback, only with a real feedback mod this time.

How about the time you left me a neg for "cheating" - because I was playing at the same time as you in a Freestyle game?

you got a positive or negative ranking

like say you start out as 0-0, if someone gives you positive ie 1-0 or 0-1

i think i ended with like 20-1 or something, and then they can type in words why you gave them the positive or negative and you could respond if you were unhappy or whatever

medals yes, stars no.

it was much better to just have the old ratings, atleast then you could post a response if you get negs but usually people would only put a neutral if the were annoyed (which didnt even show).
The stars are pointless as every gives out 4 or 5 in each category for even a standard or mildily enjoyable game. Example of this is almost all people after there 5th game have a 5.0 rating.

They switched away from the feedback system because it took way too much time to moderate. They'd get piles and piles of e-tickets asking to remove specific feedback, and it would take hours to sift through them all. So they switched to a system that's less labor-intensive for the mods. Period. Of course, since it's new, it has problems. Give constructive opinions on what could best be added or changed to improve the new system, and hopefully things will get back to normal.

Fine - get us a simple feedback system that doesn't look like the sky at night and I'll buy you a boat.

In answer to your question, youd probably get more negatives.

Feedback will never come back. It takes forever to moderate. Just hope that they delete all of the other ones eventually so everyone cant read how bad you terrorized people in your games, and simply wasted a lot of peoples time. Im sure your ratings will reflect how you play by then, good or bad.

Seems the ratings arent much better for you though
