Map ratings

[Pedsdude]

Yep, we'd also like to note that you cannot change your vote once you have voted, so make sure you're 100% certain before you vote. We might be able to make it possible to change your vote at a later date, but that's miles away in the pipeworks in all honesty so vote wisely for now!

yay! my stars!

I voted 5 stars on stronghold and v2.

A find them a bit big, but they look good nonetheless.

I'll have to remake them for .gif, but I can do that. Not tonight though. Will do tomorrow.

Yea they are a little large.

Soviet, is it possible you could send some versions at say 16x16 - and as a .gif with transparency? In internet explorer, the backgrounds are fecked up

Also - what do you guys think about removing the CJ Team rating, so we have just one rating system (user rating) ?

Eh, keep both ratings.

Don't, Well first, I believe, and I hope, Cj rated those maps on a few strict points, while users will rate for basicaly no reason, they ll either rate if they liked the map or disliked, but then again, I do not really like a rating which is based on nothing, no argument at all.

Second, Nice job to Cj team, well first for everything, but particulary in that case for those map rating, Gj.

i think the cj team ratings should be taken out personally...

[Rezil]

Would it be possible for us to put the maps in descending order according to user ratings? There used to be a button for that before but I can't seem to find one now.

As Sam said, we'll sort out arrange by user rating in a couple of days


The idea I came up with was as follows:

We remove 'CJ Team Rating' and instead have a 'CJ Approved', 'Legendary', 'Top Maps' or something like that, which shows the very best maps based on the CJ Team's opinions and the User Ratings. So the CJ Team will go through all the highest user rated maps and decide which of them should have the approval, and those will appear gold as the current 5* CJ Team rated maps do. Opinions?

Honestly, I hate that idea.
Simplifying down the original ratings just cuts out too much information.
I guess that's just me and prefering actual numbers over words.
Keep it the way it is right now, it looks fine this way.

I'm with NM on this.

Using Gamespot.com as an example, they use a "critic score" and a "user score", obviously critics being reputable reviewers and users being the public.

I agree aswell, keep the CJ ratings in.

The mob has spoken

Thoughts on using the star images for CJ ratings? Or would it make it harder to distinguish between them and user ratings?

Nah, id say keep it like that, cause its pretty cool to see golden stars and stuff when its 5 stars ( or you could make some golden stars image for cj rating )

( or you could make some golden stars image for cj rating )

Yep would do that.

Exactly the same as user ratings, but if it's 5* then the stars will be gold.
