Well, I have never seen anyone using negative voting in an honest way even if I did, it was rare
I've never seen a bear in my life, that means bears dont exist, got to love empiricism
but ok I mean you did see a bear like, at rare times! uh...
What defines honesty? there are maps that are complete trash, robloxplazmaalen_yt-sniper, please tell me that map isnt worth a 1 star rating, I voted high for ironic reasons, so people do vote for honest reasons, but what makes wanting to use sarcasm not honest? it is the purest of my thoughts, how do you know others are lying? can you literally read their minds with psychic powers? even then, what if someone truly thinks a map is worth 1 because the CRITERIA THEY VOTE IS DIFFERENT, lets say I want to get in PB2 and play a map that is fun, I want it to be fun, and then the map is a bunch of complicated triggering with bunch of amazing extreme-detailed decorations, in that persons view, it is not what that person wants and thus that person rates 1, also the fact that those who are ignorant in map making many times don't know how to make a complex map, and people can be used to different map styles, maybe people like chairs that are bigger than the character or some like ones that perfectly fit, if one likes a bigger one he is going to think a smaller one is bad, it is like someone who listens to indian classical music and then listens to mumble rap, the persons taste is different, and even then, what does honesty change? let's say we all believe that 2+2 is 5, if someone who believes 2+2 is also 5 for some reasons says its 4, that person isn't being honest, but that person is right, but even then in this case it is beauty and it isn't objective, read Hegel on it.
two users have voted 1 star on a map where I have worked on for like 2 months.
Time does not mean quality, I can spend 24 hours for two years adding walls to a map, is it good?
It's like saying that someone who spends 2 hours making something is better than someone who spends 1 hour making it, what matters is the result not the process, the process only matters if we are going to take efficiency as the method but in art it tends not to be considered as much unless let's say you join PB2s map making contest but you take 6 months to make a map, in theory if the map isn't even that good and you spent 2 months on it it can even be bad, it can indicate that you're not effective and in a general way incompetent.
The reason that they had was, they hate me.
Well, what if that is not the main reason? what if the map is bad? and why doesn't ethos matter? it's like, I will use a example used a lot in the guitar world, Yngwie Malmsteen, the dude is really virtuous in his playing, but he is a complete d-bag, people say he is bad because of that, and why cannot they say it? what is art? art is the experience, if there is a negative thing to the experience, it is worse, like someone coughing a lot in a classical concert that is supposed to be quiet, it makes it worse, why doesn't the experience the existance of a person affect it? if someone is really ugly, wouldn't it disgust you? like extremely, that affects the experience, if someone I hate makes something bad I will rate low because I want that person to be bad probably because that person made me feel bad or because I'm like sadistic or something, if someone I hate makes something good, and that person gave me a bad experience, fairness will kick in and I want to give said person a bad experience, that is how most people's mind works.
Now you will say ask staff to remove them, I have reported to Admin (DoomZerker), [Previous] Head Moderator (Zap) and Moderator (Protonoid), and no action was taken.
Why is that staff work? is there anything on the rules that mentions it? when it is a massive 1 star spam it is obvious it is intentional, but if it is a single map, deal with it.
Zap and Protonoid responded, they said that can't do anything, ask an Admin
Well they're not admins so probably they don't have the rights to edit that kind of stuff.
Admins won't do anything.
What admins? did you consider they have time? is there anything that says they must?
These votes have freezed my LDr.
Cool, I wouldn't care about some double in a database that is converted to a string and then appears on my screen, nobody cares about LDR, it means nothing, many bad map makers have high LDR, it is about popularity not quality, mapmakers such as Mrnat, Ditzy and Hexagon are all extremely low on it, and I don't walk around demanding them to be higher, because LDR is based on quantity not quality and even then quality is subjective but won't get into that, LDR is much more affected by the big masses, think of it as pop music compared to classical music, it does not mean pop music is bad, or that classical music is good, it means that they both serve different purposes and supply and demand does the rest.
and this needs to be removed.
"I dislike A, thus A should be removed"
Logical examples:
Hitler: I dislike jews, so jews must be removed.
Me: I dislike everybody on earth, so they all must be removed.
Random person: I dislike Lance Ryder Wilson, so he must be removed.
Opinions are subjective, they won't achieve anything, with such poor backing even worse, you need to learn how to deal with things you deslike unless the vast majority of people dislike so the real democracy called supply and demand kicks in and does the job, that is how true ethics are defined, prices, etc, you can even make an argument that it is literally darwinism, survival of the fittest, and in this case you are not fit.
In my opinion what happens here is that you're quite a spoiled elitistic being.
I agree with most that has been said by others in this post, I will comment on what else you said.
I am not suggesting just because it happened to me, k?
Other cases? examples? actual facts? and you are suggesting it because it happened with you, it is obvious, the main topic of the post is that.
My friend's LDr got damaged because Some trolls rated 1.
What trolls, what friend, what maps(his and yours), how do you know they are trolls and not people who are just voting 1 for any reason at all?
And You clearly misunderstood, I meant that rating 1 should not damage the creator's LDr that's all.
Rates of 1 shouldn't damage the LDR
"Guns shouldn't have real bullets"
It kills the function of 1 rates, it kills the function of a gun! it is removing its use, it is like "let's remove balls from soccer", how do you even play soccer without a ball?
I guess my opinion on this topic is quite obvious already.
