He is tagging people as Deadbeat even though they did not deadbeat. i left a message on his wall Dec 27 but have received no response.

His other ratings are also confusing such as

Game number(s):

Game 10204144 tagged marco-dousi as Good Teammate in an Assassin game, tagged Caspian King as backstabber when i think Chimerus was his target & tagged hutchkov as a Bully but was attacked only twice

He's a new player, and he's from Italy, so that probably means English isn't his first language. He probably thinks he has to leave rating tags and is just picking some at random. He ought to take a look at Zimmah's list.

i don't think it's abuse, he's giving a fair amount of stars (when i first started rating, i left 3 stars at common and 4 and 5 stars as exception, because i think 'average' is a fair rating. i stopped doing that because people actually complain about getting an 'average' rating, which is in fact below average :-s

)

i just think he doesn't understand the tags. (and he doesn't know that an 'average' rating is considered a bad rating, but i think that's a flaw in this rating system anyway.)

i don't doubt there could be a language and a n00b issue here.

bottom line though, what he has put is clearly incorrect and needs to be rectified earlier rather than later.

He's leaving one tag per rating, and some aren't applicable at all (e.g. "Complainer" for someone who never talked in the game). I don't think there's a problem with the star ratings, but his tags are suspect.

Mac just likes defending people who have Ratings Abuse issues.

Doesn't matter if he knows English or not. Give him a warning and it will stop happening. It's not like we're kicking him in the nuts. It's barely a slap on the wrist saying to stop being a dummy.

i think a friendly nudge and tell him that he doesn't has to leave tags in every rating. (and maybe explain the tags) will do.

maybe in two languages if anyone can translate the pm to italian.

i tried doing that when a walled him on the 27th but that went nowhere

i have sent him a long pm with an explanation in english and italian (google translation) so i hope he'll understand it :lol:

i basically told him he didn't have to leave tags with all the ratings and gave a translation for every tag.

I agree with macbone here. I have sent Chimerus a PM explaining the ratings system. This is NOTED.
