| HappySqurriel said: I'm of the opinion that the only way to prevent activities like this is to have a much more complicated voting system which takes into account a person's voting habits, and to display a person's voting statistics to shame them if they're voting down games on purpose; if a person had a record of voting on 100+ Wii games with an average score of 2/10 that would be somewhat embarrasing for them. |
That would be really cool! The only "simple" solution to avoid ratings before releases at least, is if those in charge of the database have a simple tool tab with a kind of "add game to vote list" command or some such. So the game would be displayed as soon as someone enters it into the base, but no one can give it a rating (or proclaim ownership) before the game is eligible for it.
It pisses me off when childish fanboys rate games that aren't out yet, and give them 1's or 10's, or when someone rates all games poorly for one (or several) specific platform (s)!
I think the lowest score I've ever given in the database is a 3, can't remember which one it was, but it deserved it after I actually played it and hated it! I never rate games I've never played, what's the use?
At the very least, non-members should not be able to rate games, as it shoudl primarly show the games' quality from Vgchratz point of view, and reflect the users in here.
