Feedback sent for approval to the recipient via an automatic pop-up box which appears at log-in, 24 hours after game completion.
Then it is just a matter of clicking :-
    'yes' - thus agreeing to allow the feedback to enter into your profile
    'no' - thus sending the feedback to the community arbitration forum
    'ask me later' - the box goes away till next time you log-in

Feedback can be composed of anything:
    - Comment on skill and tactics
    - It could be a friendly piece of prose for mutual enjoyment!


The Comment is then made available to the recipient for approval prior to it being logged into their profile. They have 5 days to say ‘yes’ or ‘no’. If they fail to vote the comment will be entered into their profile.
In special cases, live Comments can be taken back to the Forum for adjudication; to cover people going away and missing the right to veto.

If they say ‘yes’, they have approved the comment and it will also be logged into their profile.

If they say ‘no’, not approved, the Comment goes for arbitration by the Site in the Contentious Comment Forum. (The rules of approval need to be worked out but will mainly cover outright spiteful lies and abusive language!)

Arbitration is made by CC members: the make-up and remit of which is to be discussed;
It could be:
    A) Open to all members, with a pre-forum link to the Moderation 'Forum', on the Front page after login. This will encourage those who do not normally visit the Forums to participate! *or
    B) Closed select group of non-mod volunteers

Non English Comments under Open Moderation (option (A) above)
We have all of the Individual Language Forums; with varying levels of populations.
therefore we could include a select box for the destination page for each Language Moderation as sent by the recipient of the queried comment. (each Forum has it's own little Community Mod thread to vote in)
Of course if the population is small then the number of votes for passing it as acceptable would be far fewer than in the main English language forum.


Why will this work where the other failed?

    - The proposed system does not affect your Pos or Neg Rating, so it will be less contentious.
    - The recipient gets immediate right to take contentious Comments to the Community for adjudication of fairness and suitability, before anyone else sees it in their Profile.
    - If the Comments are judged by the whole site (with say 100 votes giving a judgement on 95% agreement**) on a casual anonymous basis, there is no one to shout at, no focal figure to hate.


This will improve the following aspects of the site:

    Gives opportunity to write creative, fun prose
    Allows for people to comment on a persons Skill and be more specific about the experience
    Could be integrated with the old style system to placate the dissenters, without the site having to commit people and resources

*This is participatory Forum but with anonymous perusal and voting only. The comment Forum is 'ironically' not a place for discussion by the voters.
So there will be no canvassing for support or bitching, it is simply a place to read and click 'yes' or 'no'.

**A ceiling of votes needed to constitute an authoritative decision! For example, we could set the limit at 100 votes with 95% approval to make it a live comment.

I'm all for it- the rating stars are a pain. What constitutes a negative rating? What's average? Generally a 3 star rating is considered bad, but surely that could be considered an average rating.

The pressure is there to give a five star rating if you enjoyed playing, a very low rating if you feel you had a bad experience, or not to rate at all. How do you rate a player on attitude who plays well every turn, and does so quickly, but doesn't respond to a simple "hi" in game chat. It's not exactly five star attitude, but you shouldn't be dropping their ratings, which are a weird amalgam of "Fair Play", "Gameplay" and "Attitude".

The labels are even weirder.

I treasure my old feedback- they really remind of the games and the players I played against.

As a suggestion, I would say that if the stars are here to stay, then get rid of the tags and allow comments.

yes that's what Iwas saying a combination of both the stars and the feedback would be the best of both world. I would think it would be similar to the 4 word you can leave only a sentence or more giving allowing you to explain either something good, bad or neutral.

who cares. I never leave or read feedback, have not in years except for here and there.


I am not the only one. Feedback is irrelevant for those that play more than 6 matches a week.


Make feedback worth something.... but just to add comments? lol, I would play you fuckers just so I could flame you on comments with lies...

Yes, they should bring it back, especially since I can't imagine it's very difficult to do.

Feedback was way better than the current system.

That's what made negative comments so fun you ass.

Bring back the feedback system, it was funner, and in a sense, more efficient. The rating system right now isn't really on par with anything...I feel like when I rate people, I rate them like I would a hotel or a girl. "Eh, she was a three at most...Burped alot"

The combo at least seems good. Something with a happy medium...I don't even see what th problem with the positive and negative scores were. (10-1...left postive amount, right negative) No one to my recollection has really compared on how that system worked at all until these god awful stars came out.

star ratings are the worst idea ever... incredibly easy to abuse, with no context to why you rate someone, with the exception of vague "tags"... if someone rates me poorly, that's great, but at least if they type it out, you understand where they're comin from.. and the reason this doesn't get the support it deserves, is that many new members were never exposed to it.. it would certainly cut down on all the rating abuse threads from the 1 star giver outers on this site... bring it back please...

I never got to experience feedback, but I feel like it would be a much better system. At least then you could actually type out why you gave the rating you gave, instead of relying on the tags which are basically worthless.

Feedback was so much better. AON is just butthurt because his feedback is 0-1-1.

I still love looking back at the little feedback I have but I certainly don't give 2 shits about seeing, "5, 5, 5, Friendly, Good Strategy".

i started out giving 3 star (average) ratings to mostly everyone because i just thought it was average, until i noticed most everyone actually gave 5's so started to do the same. however basically everyone has a 4.5+ rating and only very few have a low rating, that even counts for regular deadbeaters. i have seen only a handfull of people with a rating below 4 and they are usually real idiots.

feedback system worked very well. anyone with a large amount of negatives compared to positives was avoided and generally if anyone had 3 or more bad ratings i'd always check to see why he got so many bad feedback.

    B) Closed select group of non-mod volunteers

Non English Comments under Open Moderation (option (A) above)
We have all of the Individual Language Forums; with varying levels of populations.
therefore we could include a select box for the destination page for each Language Moderation as sent by the recipient of the queried comment. (each Forum has it's own little Community Mod thread to vote in)
Of course if the population is small then the number of votes for passing it as acceptable would be far fewer than in the main English language forum.


Why will this work where the other failed?

    - The proposed system does not affect your Pos or Neg Rating, so it will be less contentious.
    - The recipient gets immediate right to take contentious Comments to the Community for adjudication of fairness and suitability, before anyone else sees it in their Profile.
    - If the Comments are judged by the whole site (with say 100 votes giving a judgement on 95% agreement**) on a casual anonymous basis, there is no one to shout at, no focal figure to hate.


This will improve the following aspects of the site:

    Gives opportunity to write creative, fun prose
    Allows for people to comment on a persons Skill and be more specific about the experience
    Could be integrated with the old style system to placate the dissenters, without the site having to commit people and resources

*This is participatory Forum but with anonymous perusal and voting only. The comment Forum is 'ironically' not a place for discussion by the voters.
So there will be no canvassing for support or bitching, it is simply a place to read and click 'yes' or 'no'.

**A ceiling of votes needed to constitute an authoritative decision! For example, we could set the limit at 100 votes with 95% approval to make it a live comment.



this solution is golden
