Game 2554213- tzneves gave me extremely poor rating[settled]

Maybe not abuse but almost constitutes abuse based on the fact i did nothing wrong in this game for which i deserve zero stars for fair play!!! 1 star for gameplay and 1 star for attitude!!! this is so far from a fair appraisal...in fact i helped the person that gave me this appalling rating to fight off a third player who way outnumbered both of us...seems to me this new rating system has been dumbed down so much from the previous rating system that it's too easy for some people who can't string a sentence together to just click on simple insults if they feel like it...can i challenge the rating i got from tzneves from this game?...with this new rating system one disgruntled person can drop your rating so low without reasonable justification that it can take many more games to get back to a rating which is more representative of all the other fairer, more considered ratings a person has received...moderator - please let me know what i can do about this ridiculous rating...i'd like to suggest that there should be two ratings, one for average rating a person has received and another for average ratings a person has given...personally i'd avoid a person who had a history of giving extremely low ratings to opponents...tzneves justify your rating in public...if i was extremely anal i'd question why someone gave me 4/4/4 for this game, but 0/1/1 is just ridiculous...i pay money to belong to this site, and i'm not inclined to pay money for stupidity like this which is sactioned by the site owners

0 is no rating at all. 1 star is the lowest and 5 is the highest you can hand out.

In general, hate the players, don't hate the game...

If you have any suggestions on how we could further improve the rating system, by all means make a thread in the Suggestion Forum. Be sure to also make a research first if your idea has already been suggested before.

For now, we do not edit or remove any ratings yet. Ratings are based on our member’s opinions and therefore we do not want to second guess them. Rest assured that any unfair ratings will be averaged out by all the fair ones over time.

As for the tzneves account, at least you got some poetic justice off what he gave you.
