    Map rating system

    Hi everyone, i wanted to make a suggestion on how the map rating system cauld be improved! First off 0 to five stars is fine but it doesn't stop down votes from crippling some maps, so here is my solution! Remove the dislike option all together and and only allow people to vote 0 to 5 stars! In this way a map can only (rise) not fall. More stars meens you rise faster then some one with less stars, but allso means your map wont go down, it will just not go up! I think this system cauld work.

    I also am in favor of the 5 star voting system with no "dislike" in it. However, that does not mean a map cannot go down. Say a map currently has 4 stars and gets several 1 or 2 star votes, it will drop below 4 stars.

    If there is a way too dislike a map or downvote in anyway, it will get abused. There too many haters, jealous people, people who think their map will stand out if they take out the competition.

    All systems are doomed to fail if you give negative people a tool for their abuse. I guess only positive voting have a chance of working.

    It is simple no company likes to have a bad name so that says no one likes been disliked so why have such an option in the game, sure the star rating can be abused by groups down voting the same was as it can be abused by groups up voting and generally if someone has lots of friends they would expect to get more votes and higher ratings than someone with very few friends that's just life.

    To have a dislike button I am against that, at the time of clicking publishing most are happy with their work and believe it to be good so having people dislike it is not nice at all, Facebook just has the option to like and not dislike.

    I guarantee if it showed up the persons gamertag who disliked then you would have a lot of problems with people falling out and sending each other hate messages so why have it at all.
    As already said it won't change the outcome if one person doesn't like another they can down vote the map just the same as they could have disliked it - still I would rather see the dislike option removed.

    Low life haters will always find a way to bring your map rating down. i just ignore ratings on my maps. if someone has to resort to bringing down your ratings, you have already won and they have lost forget the ratings and the haters and just enjoy map building. the haters will always lose.

    I understand what you mean but what imean is that ubisoft cauld make it so that if you have 4 stars for example and someone only voted 0 stars it shauld not go down in star rating but instead it wauld reman where it is.

    That would just render the rating system pointless. Every map would have 5 stars. If a map gets less star vote it should go down.

    Ahh i never thought of that! But surely there are allready lots of five star maps but there still in different positions! So it wauld just be acase of how many people give you a five star rating. Lets say for example you published a map and someone voted 5 stars for your map that doesn't mean your map instantly gets an overall rating off five stars, it wauld just mean it wauld send your map up a bit in the list. It cauld take lots of five star votes to actualy get your map a five star rating. Hope that makes sense. Ps thank for everyones replies

    Or I guess we could do away with the rating system all together. Build a system where you can only upvote. That sort of eliminates those who troll or spam. If you didn't like the map just don't upvote it, simple as that. Also, you can still find popular maps by the amount of upvotes it has vs those with less. Idk, I'm just spitballing here
