Dunk90

The accused are suspected of:

Ratings abuse

Game number(s):

Game 7218224

Comments:

The all 1-star ratings left for me by Dunk90 after the game linked above caused me to take a look at the ratings he's been leaving.

First off, regarding the game in question -- there was a whole lot of bickering between people in the game, which I pretty much stayed out of, except for a couple of attempts to crack a joke about it and lighten the mood. Furthermore, I won the game. So even if he didn't like my attitude, pretty hard to justify a 1-star rating on gameplay or fair play.

Looking at the ratings Dunk90 has left for others, the majority of the recent ones are one-star across the board. Look at the responses from some of the people who have chosen to respond to his 1-star ratings (most of whom have ratings themselves of higher than 4.5):

"In other words, he lost"
"2 games, no chat, i won one. what rating is this ?"
"totally a poor sport rating. go look at the game. he was kicked out for missing too many turns. oh well :-("
"tried the old miss a turn tactics and failed. everyone else had good game. poor loser rating"
"The guy deadbeated like a moron."
"Knocked him/her out of a tournament. Silent the whole time. Poor sport I guess."

It's clear there's a pattern here -- about as severe abuse of the ratings system as I've ever seen.

Yep. The guy is clearly a doucher MM. I think this is the perfect complaint to illustrate what is and what is not an "abuse of ratings". Bottom line is that you do not have to rate people. So if you are not going to use the system in a way that makes sense, don't rate. Here, MM clearly did not deserve 1-stars for all categories.

Yep. The 1st 2 cheap tactic tags he lost 1 v 1 sequential no spoils. Not sure how he could justify the tag or the rating.

BUT in his defense he has a sweet avi. So this could go either way.

Mmm. You are right about the avi. I missed that last night to focus on the ratings...I've got my priorities all out of whack!
