I'm so sick....
...of pro-downraters.
Hello - Usually I am a very calm guy, but from time to time I give in to my rising anger and try to start a discussion to get other peoples opinion about things that imho suck as hell. Now this has happened again. Warning:long piece of brambling ahaed. From time to time I revisit some movies I rated on just to see other peoples ratings/comments. Every now and then I stumble upon people like someone, I will call PersonX in the future. PersonX catches my eyes because he/she gives a 1.0 rating on a movie that has an average rating of let's say 4.6 (with more than 30 ratings so far). I click on PersonX to find out more about his rating behaviour. I find the last ten ratings beeing made within 40 minutes on movies with a total playtime of more than 100 minutes. 9 of the movies are rated 1.0 1 movie is rated 5.0 It might be that PersonX downloaded all the movies,then watched them making notes,then came back for the rating. But I strongly doubt it. Is there no way we can protect WcM from such "users"? Something like a alarm that goes off, when somebody rates a movie with xx ratings (to have a reasonable average rating) extremely low (1.0, e.g.). And if it turnes out to be a pro-downrater like PersonX, can't U just bann them for live, even if they didn't use foul language on their comments? People like PersonX are in no way an enrichment for WcM,and from time to time I just have to say it out loud: I am so sick of em. Regards Dwârv P.S.: None of my movies was included here, so it's nothing personal.PersonX is not made up by me, but exists under another name. |
You could always click the report button next to each of their comments and leave a valid reason why it was reported. Our Admins will take a look at them and decide what to do. After they receive 3 formal warnings they will no longer have the ability to vote or comment.

yes, I know that procedure,but:
is it possible to report a comment/rating on a movie not made by me? and would this work out when no foul language has been used? (these are no rethoric questions, I simply don't know) |

We also hand out warnings. A warning deducts 5 points from your fame. 3 warnings bans you from rating at all. Quote:
We are also working on a new feature which will work similar to the ones you see on the database sites like Wowhead. You will be able to rate other peoples comments. If the comment get a negative score the comment will be hidden and also auto reported to admins. If the comment gets a high enough postive score it will be highlighted as a "good" comment. |
thx for the quick reply, you made me a happy old man.
(I think I saw this new feature for one day here, not long ago : stars in the middle of the comments and a plus and a minus on the right side, was wondering what this was) Regards Dwârv |

Yeah it was a bit premature, we noticed some issues with it so we had to retract it. It will probably be out sometime next week though. |

You can vote for your own comment atm :P - Maybe set all comments posted to +1 (Assuming the user has some self respect) and then prevent people voting for themselves.
