Other: Abuse of the ratings system.


Comments:
After a torrid game with this player, he left me the poorest ratings possible ....all 1 stars, 4 poor tags. Given his attitude in the game, I wasn't entirely surprised, although it was considerably more excessive than necessary (or justified) and considerably worse than I left him. No matter.

I hadn't actually thought any more about it until, on a visit here to the forum, I saw something about a similar situation. Anyway, decided to look into it further and was shocked when I looked deeper into his ratings. He has played just 167 games and left 134 ratings .... almost all of which are all sh*t like my own. It's quite astonishing to be honest.

The bottom line is I think the guy is abusing the system awfully. Anyone who plays him risks a garbage rating simply for playing the game. Not sure he should be able to get away with it.

For these type of reports, we ask the the accuser gives us 5 examples for us to go from.

[m1ndgames]

I'll go get them ....although a simple glance at his 'Ratings Left' would tell you in an instant.

[m1ndgames]

His last 15 ratings are all a mix of 1 or 0 stars and all with poor tags (as are the bulk of his 134 ratings left).

The last 7 as examples are....

Stars, tags, his opponent, game(s)
1,1,1 - Complainer, Paranoid, Suicider, Vindictive - m1ndgames, 12137205
1,1,1 - Coward, Irrational, Clueless, Poor Strategy - Iceman13, 12226871
1,1,1 - Deadbeat, Irrational, Suicider, Poor Strategy - Rebecca Gavin, 12226871
1,1,1 - Irrational, Vindictive, Cheap Tactics, Follower - prior680, 12202856
1,1,1 - Suicider, Vindictive, Clueless, Good Strategy - saran, 12115407
1,1,1 - Irrational, Suicider, Vindictive, Poor Strategy - albiestar, 12137205, 12117495, 12115407
1,1,1 - Complainer, Sore Loser, Cheap Tactics, Poor Strategy - russtynails, 12202856, 12115407, 12026545

I can't say anything about albiestar (since I've heard the rumors), buut the rest of them. On second thought I get to over Saran, he gives him a one star on Gameplay, but says he has good strategy. ^.^ ROFL

[m1ndgames]

rishaed, I'm sure there may be some justification for some of them ...but for (almost) all of his 134 left? ....nah...

[TheForgivenOne]

Thank you, will try to look over them tonight.

I wasn't defending him at all. I just noticed that albie was in there, who I've heard is a perpetual point dumping deadbeat. The rest of them I haven't played against and until I do they have a clean sheet of paper from me.
I am still laughing about the fact that he rated Saran 1 star on gameplay, yet said he had good strategy
