Clarify No Rating

[DoomYoshi]

How it works.

The fact that 4 suggs mods are having this much time figuring it out proves there is a problem.

I thought everyone knew that not rating someone's gameplay doesn't count to their gameplay rating, but does count towards their overall rating.

When rating a player, there is an option to give zero stars to someones rating. Suggestion is to provide in the definition of 'Rating' that a rating of zero is abstaining from rendering a rating, which doesn't alter the players rating. There needs to be clarity of the effect of a zero rating with someones overall rating average.

With an economy of words, a zero rating can be defined as providing no rating.

Not everyone is a multi of one of the charter members.

OH! BURN!

Take a look at Chapcrap ratings that he has left to numerous players. He more often than not leaves zero stars. If this has an overall negative affect on rating, he should remove all his zero ratings. For when he gave me a zero rating, as his teammate, he explained it doesn't affect overall rating. So if it does affect rating, then he is adversely effecting players rating through uninformed actions and he should remove all his bad ratings.

After all Chapcrap does explain that he is unsure of how the ratings work, for in his own words he makes an authoritative judgment and with his next words writes "I'm pretty sure" on page 3 of this thread. So he has given 100's of zero ratings without knowing their effect.

Clarity is needed about the zero star rating.

MERGED:

• Make no rating more obvious
• Sugg: 'No rating left' instead of zero stars in ratings
• Zero star rating confusion
• Rating clarity of zero

Yeah, Doom is correct, Mets is wrong.I'm pretty sure.

If you do not rate something and rate another category, it does not count the one left unrated at all..

Quote it all you want, doesn't make it right.

The fact that it's right makes it right.

Then, prove it empirically or with some documented evidence.
