Forums are here for several reasons, one of them is to voice opinion. Your take it up the ass or leave argument is utter bullshit. Even those who run this site clearly don't agree with you. In fact they regularly welcome their customers opinions.
I am simply trying to generate a debate about one of the worst features of this site.
Kind regards,

Re: Conquer Club = Fascist State?
My opinion on this:
Although I do not agree with the CCAdmins giving you a warning for giving all ones, I must say I do not agree with giving all ones just because you can. You can always opt to NOT give a rating, which is what most people that I (apparently) play with do.
To be honest, having the standard of auto-giving people you play with is like putting up a giant neon sign over your head that says "I am a {insert favortie curse word here}, troll, and I think only the best of the best deserve anything more then a one." So to be fairly honest, the reason you got the warning was probably because a decent amount of players who recognize the trend decided to complain about it. It's not like one or two people were complaining and the admin was playing favorites.
I, of course could be wrong on the last part as to how many people may or may not have complained, but I know I would, personally, give you the same treatment back if I were to randomly be given one stars because it is your automatic rating, because to be frank, if you are going to rate fairly, just don't rate at all.

That has got to be the stupidest reason I have ever heard of for spamming ones and reviews.

Re: Conquer Club = Fascist State?
Not quite... the ones that grow offer a product that keeps the customer interested enough to put up with whatever level of discomfort is caused by the acquisition of said product. So a business with a dynamite product can be staffed entirely by the biggest jackasses the owners can find, as long as the product is good enough that customers will put up with it.Snorri1234 wrote:Word.

Re: Conquer Club = Fascist State?
I would like to chime in here. The phrase ''The customer is always right'', comes from the wise buisness owner. He tells this to his employees, so that they dont argue with the valuable customer. He knows that his buisness is dependent on repeat cust. If there is an unsatisfied cust., He would much rather have himself, or a manager with some brains, take care of the problem. Thats all. Of coarse the customer is NOT always right, but as far as the employees are concerned, ...HE IS.Nikolai wrote:Not quite... the ones that grow offer a product that keeps the customer interested enough to put up with whatever level of discomfort is caused by the acquisition of said product.

One more thing. CC is allowed to make just about any rules that they see fit. As long as they follow the anti-discrimination laws. Once they post the rules however, they should abide by them. We all know that the best ''RISK'' players are not represented on the top of the leaderboard. As farmers are beating the system. They are not jumping up and down and threatening them. So, why are they doing so here. This guy is playing within their crazy rules, so let him be. One persons' rating of you, is like a drop of water in the ocean.

Exactly. There are lots of problems with the site (It's still great though) so why pick on the least important one?One more thing. CC is allowed to make just about any rules that they see fit.
