You can rate a post "friendly" in both suggestions and applications, but not "rude". I think if a rating has an opposite, it should be included wherever its counterpart is included.

 

Ehh neutral c:

 

Care to give a reason? c:

 

I doubt anyone would be rude, as these two sections are for us to include our own opinions. And when we do that, at times, it sounds rude, even though that wasn't your intention. So...

 

Rude is an opinion too

 

I never said it isn't, which is why I said neutral??!

 

ok sorry it just sounded like you implied it

 

I feel this could be abused by applicants, rating "rude" as soon as someone roasts them for having a crappy application or simply not giving Support. It will refrain people from giving their honest opinion on the applicant.

If it's friendly -> rate friendly
If it's not -> don't rate

No Support.

 

eh support

That just means everything is to their benefit. They can be friendly and receive a positive rating or they can be rude and get away with it with no negative rating.

 

So you need to be rewarded for having an opinion that does favor the applicant?

 

So you think you should get two rewards for being nice?

I don't really care about this that much I was just making a point ._.

 

I'm just saying why should you get a friendly rating for being nice but not a rude rating for being rude?

 

So rude ratings can be abused but friendly ones can't? I'm just confused with the point you're trying to make.

 

Why should opinions be rated at all? I'm just confused that you think nice opinions should be rewarded and rude ones should be ignored, but whatever floatz ur boat

 

Then why are you defending the friendly rating but not the rude one?

 

The whole point of me ever replying to this thread was to say why have a friendly one but not a rude one? How is a rating a "hassle"? You want people to only receive positive ratings and not negative ones because they're a hassle. That defeats the whole purpose of having negative ratings, which is to express your opinion on someone else's opinion. So I don't quite understand how you are using that as an alibi.

 

If it's genuinely offensive and hurtful, you can Report it with the report button and a mod will take care of it. If it's not, it's criticism and as an applicant you should deal with it. It's YOU, the applicant, who is judged here, not the reviewers. It is contraproductive to enable the applicant to "strike back", because few will dare to post contructive criticism, Especially People who a obviously not ready for mod, not mature enough, will be enticed to abuse this to get revenge on People who "got the Point".

If you are uncomfortable with the fact that there is a positive Rating but no negative, you'd better suggest to get rid of the positive Rating. Because adding the negative one will just beat the Point of having an application reviewed by the community.

 

Well then what's the point of having negative ratings? The whole point of them is so you can rate negative posts. That's why we have them as an option on the forums. I just don't understand why everyone is so against them and so for positive ratings. Why have any ratings at all if people just want the ones that are to their benefit? To me that's just completely against the point of ratings.

 

That's why we don't have them as an Option in the applications Forums. And this Forum as well, by the way. As I said, if it's the fact there are positives but no negatives, you'd better suggest to get rif of the positives. You also won't rate your examiner at the end of an oral examination. This would be an open door to bias and bribery.

 

Im simply compromising with the topic of whether or not a rude rating should be added. I personally don't think a friendly or rude rating is necessary on an application but im speaking on behalf of the fact that there is currently a friendly rating and the fact that this person is suggesting a rude rating should be installed. Why would I need an alibi for an opinion? What am i protecting myself from? Another opinion? Lmao.

It's a hassle because people actually moderate their ratings and a large majority don't like negative ratings and lots of them request to get them removed. Lots of people also abuse the negative ratings anyway so why add another source of abuse that creates unnecessary work for the staff team? An alternative would be to remove the friendly rating but thats not what this person is suggesting is it? No. They're suggesting the rude one to be installed so I'm simply working with the given topic.

Plus the main point of an application is to get feedback and if most of the time it's people who can't take constructive criticism. If the reply was intended to offend the applicant, you can always report it lol. I didn't think my opinion mattered so much to the point where someone had to try 'prove it wrong' and i have to 'have an alibi' to protect myself from 'another opinion'. But its honestly quite flattering and don't reply to this lmao, i couldn't careless.
