Sporepedia rating aangepast

Er is een verandering doorgevoerd aan de Sporepedia: vanaf nu is het onmogelijk geworden om via 1 account een creatie van een andere speler eindeloos te 'downraten'.

Schijnbaar was dat nogal een probleem sinds het invoeren van meerdere screennamen en MaxisKane heeft nu gezegd dat als een screennaam gedelete wordt ook alle ratings die gedaan zijn met die screennaam verwijderd worden. Deze aanpassing zal ook wel gelden voor het eindeloos 'Upraten' van creaties op de Sporepedia:

We’ve listened to your concerns about downrating, and we wanted to let you know that we’ve corrected the ability to “infinitely” downrate an item by creating new screen names and then deleting them. When you delete a screen name, we will now delete all the ratings tied to that screen name. Note, however, that a creation’s rating isn’t recalculated until a new person rates it.

We spent some time looking at the ratings statistics in the system, and we thought you might like to know some of our findings. We looked at the users who had made more than 1000 up ratings and the users who had made more than 1000 down ratings. There were 180 “frequent upraters,” averaging about 2260 up ratings per rater. There were 33 “frequent downraters,” averaging about 2180 down ratings per rater.

You are, in general, a community that supports and encourages each other. Indeed, the high popularity of the Boycott and Fix It items today speaks to that.

We are constantly exploring new ways to help you find great creations and we appreciate your feedback.
