this clown gave me one star ratings throughout - totally unjustified and clearly sour grapes.

IIRC, ratings abuse means giving EVERYONE 1's, (or IMO giving EVERYONE 5's). If he only rated you like that, I don't see any abuse.

yep,not see problem here- you have players who foe every player who defeated hem,but these is not foe abuse. Best solution its to foe these players,and move on.

Ratings Abuse

If you are found guilty of Ratings Abuse---that is, rating your opponents unjustifiably, haphazardly, and systematically in a destructive or inappropriate manner (such as repeatedly giving out inaccurate ratings without evidence to justify your ratings), you will find yourself escalating on Ratings Vacation scale.

Ratings Abuse Infraction levels are as follows:
1. Warning
2. 1 Month Ratings Vacation
3. Permanent Ratings Vacation

[/quote]

The way the rules are written its stated that it has to be an "abuse" of the ratings system, which gives an example of "repeatedly" giving out inaccurate ratings. Though the way its worded could be used to argue either way, because before that it says rating opponents unjustifiably...tho again, its pluralized.

The problem here is the guy rarely rates anyone, he's rated two people. One 5 stars one 1 star. I dont see any reason for the one star unless you pm'd him

I can certainly see why someone would be swayed to your side of the argument, given your lovely disposition and excellent use of the diplomatic tongue. Well done on putting everyone against you.

In other words what some are trying to tell you here, is that you need to have some validity behind your claim..

Please provide the evidence in your logic as to why this is abuse. This forum isnt intended for witch hunts, you can just point at another member and select a violation to throw at them without having a proper explanation as to why your accusing them of that.

Research the meaning behind what is and isnt ratings abuse, provide your insight on why this was abuse in this case and this will get reviewed by a mod.
