I honestly don't understand how ratings abuse is a punishable offense. Especially not for a global ban on the website. Sure if someone is always rating the same thing (beit 1 or 5), then block that person from using the ratings system. There is no reason to apply a website ban to someone who used a simple feature in a way not intended. If players can't give everyone 1's, then they shouldn't be able to rate everyone 5's either.

We could get rid of ratings with no problem at all. Ratings, feedback has always been a problem. And they are actually useless.

Have people actually been banned from the website for this offense? I thought we had a mechanism for blocking people from using the ratings system.

We have a friends list function. When you find a player you like, add them to your list. Play games with those people. You'll meet more nice people and good players.

If you can be punished for it, it should be highlighted under rules tab. Or get rid of rules tab and create a community guideline tab, and incorporate the rules into that post / thread. Shouldn't be two places for punishable offenses. And some of them should be clarified IMO

People get singled out when one person gets a bug in their ass and now has it out for someone. They aren't reporting the offense they are reporting the person. If their friend does the same thing they brush it off. I think that the rule breaking should be looked for and dealt with in a more random fashion than report buttons and complaints from passive aggressive players.

that doesn't matter here. the op has stated his friend doesn't visit the forums so would be unaware of those situations.

I took the example as just that and figured the discussion was open to all aspects of rulings on CC as the poll suggests. If not, so be it.

The community guidelines are actually linked to from the rules page. You could only miss it if you didn't read the five paragraphs on that page.

Community Guidelines:
Our moderation policy for the Forum, Private Messages, Live Chat and Game Chat is outlined in the community guidelines.
-----
Forum, PM, LC and game chat does NOT give the impression it goes into further rules outside f places that you are typing. Does not mention ratings or other rules that are covered. If I were looking into if I could be punished for ratings, i would not continue thru that link based on its explanation paragraph.
