MODS ARE GOING MAD

Suicide and Deadbeat are commonly misused. I don't remember each case, so if there's a thread or unresolved case, please link it so I can make sure everything is cleaned up and tidy with the old system before the switch. Thanks.

Yeah, the use of the word "suicide" was the main issue in those 2 cases. I also seem to recall an official type person (can't remember who, off the top of my head), saying that feedback is not meant to judge someone's skill as a player. I know it's been mentioned numerous times in the discussion of the new system, but I believe it was also mentioned in reference to the current system. I'm going to take my own advice, and go do a bit of research.

Twill wrote:the rating system is designed to understand the player, not their ability. Yes, rank has its flaws, but so does rating someone on gameplay you may not understand. We see so many feedbacks every day that are "he attacked me! fool! ignore!" that to add "gameplay" as a rating would only end up with this crap continuing.

This is from the discussion of the new system, so it's not directly applicable to the current system, but it does give the impression that the site admins don't want to deal with feedback based on strategy, since one person's opinion of poor play can be very different from someone else's. If poor strategy were a legitimate reason for negative feedback, who's to say that everyone other than the winner of any game shouldn't get a neg for it?

Yep, that's the *new* system and one of the reasons for taking it out (read the last part of twill's quote there)>

I know. It was that he called it "crap" that made me think they don't want to be dealing with it now, and thus led to my confusion.

Admins don't typically deal with feedback, although they hear some of our griping about it and I'm sure we've used words like "crap".
