The accused are suspected of:

Abusing the rating system. Leaving illogical tags such as bad teammate in Standard games and Suicider in games that were won by the "suicider." His poor ratings don't seem to have any rhyme or reason. He gave me a poor rating and all I said was good game. I am fine with a negative rating if my actions and speech are deserving of such but this isn't the case in our game and seemingly other games he's been in.


Game number(s): 10297777

Codes added.

Please come with more ratings abuse evidence before mentioning here... Basically, if it's the only 'false' rating he left, just move on and foe him if you want to. Obvious troll is obvious.

(Note: I didn't looked at this players' ratings left, this is only based on your post)

is the right link.

His ratings

They look a bit bizarre to me, mainly for the tags he leaves. Looking through a quick selection of them, I'm not sure how he can justify some of them.

Game 10294494 for example, results in rating tag of "backstabber", although it's clearly a 1v1 game.

Game 10286369 sees a rating of both friendly and silent, although none of the players seem to have said anything at all in chat.

There's really no shortage of examples, mostly for tagging someone as rude or a backstabber.

Thank you Symmetry. I didn't know the exact protocol to follow here with this being my first issue like this. Thanks for your time and help.

No problem, if I remember correctly ratings abuse complaints usually follow an unwritten rule of asking for five or so examples before they get judged. If you can find two more in his ratings, on top of the one you posted, and the two I added, you'll have a strong complaint. It won't be difficult, I suspect.

All 3 of these I found came from the same game and all got 3 stars on each of the 3 ratings, including the winner:

Game 10297777

Rating left for Lord of the Dice and his response to the rating left

Tags: Slow, Irrational, Follower
Response: slow? i'm the quickest player on the site (online 10 hours a day) you must've meant that you're a little slow and don't understand the ratings...i forgive you

*Lord of the Dice didnt miss a single turn and took his turn pretty fast for a non speed game

Rating left for fabrizio5555

Tags: Backstabber, Coward, Sore Loser

*Not a team game. there was no truce in the game chat, nor did fabrizio5555 even make a single post in the game chat

Rating left for the game's winner Beastwho and his response to the rating left

Tags: Slow, Teammate Killer, Suicider
Response: This rating and these comments don't make any sense in relation to the game we played...?

*Again, not a team game, didnt miss a single turn, and won the game.

By my count, that's 6 cases of ratings abuse.

My guess is he doesn't understand the ratings system. I'll send him a PM.

You have too much faith in your fellow man....

But hey, it's worth a try!

Warning given for Rateings abuse. It might just be a issue of not knowing what he/she should tag or it could be he/she knows what they are doing. Regardless a warning will be given.
