The test version was not submitted as a MJ6 map and it has a tinny bit over 4 stars. To me, this says other people who entered the contest could possibly be going through different submissions and 'disliking' the rest of the entries.

    Now i could be way off, maybe my map just sucks lol. Point being, if you submitted a map and youre rating seems lower than normal, i wouldnt put too much trust in its accuracy. This is terrible for the people who want to learn from their work to do better next time. Not to mention the whole ethics side of things...

    Anybody else notice any questionable ratings for their submissions?
    I usually try live streaming my plays with other mj6 maps and leave a like. I never dislike if I don't like a map. I just skip rating

    I know we're talking about not taking ratings too seriously. But if you were curious about what that 3 1/2 stars is in a scale of 100, here's nerdy thing you can do. Right mouse-click on the stars and choose 'Inspect'. That should highlight the span tag of the yellow stars with a width percentage that should give you a more accurate number...

    This has been a problem for previous map jams. It is a shame, the only dislikes I leave are for mostly empty low effort maps. If a high effort map has some issues I will skip rating, message person some suggestions, and then come back if and when map is fixed to leave a like. I thought they did away with people's choice??

    Here's a list of MJ6 maps my maps site came across. It allows searching for "MJ6" instead of "MJ6 - ", so it produces more results. However, some 'deleted' maps may be present too::

    MJ6 PC maps
    MJ6 XONE maps
    MJ6 PS4 maps

    MJ6 maps on all platforms

    I mostly build on PS4, occasionally Xbox. I have played and left likes on many of the MJ6 PS4 entires.
    Favorites so far not in any order are:
    MJ6 - Toxic Survival by LEVI420TACO, great bunker work and some nice scripting parts.
    MJ6 - Patient Zero by truesurv1val. Good teleport player parts and overall good design
    MJ6 - RESIDENT EVIL by RESTYLEX Whimsical zombie survival, reminds me of a good black ops zombie map.
    MJ6 - The Last Stop by ZALEKAI Also plays like a good black ops map, I really like the switches to trigger flames! Good stuff.
    MJ6 - A Few left by INSTACRAG92 I like the visuals on this one, shrooms growing out of corpses and goo. Played good too.

    Still several to play and the others I did not mention I left likes for too.

    My entry is MJ6 - City in Ruin

    I dont see the ratings though? Or are they just in order from highest to lowest?

    Edit- nevermind. I guess they removed the post.

    The more I think about this, the more I want ratings abolished, or at least reworked entirely. I've played so many great 3 star and even 2 star maps, but almost avoided them purely because of the rating.

    The only entry I have got to play right through so far is the one on PS4 which is like a long road in the desert with zombie spawners to destroy, very cool map, left a like, think I favourited it too.
    I will try to play some more maps today and leave some likes.

    I've been saying for years that the dislike option should be removed as its open to manipulating statistics unfairly by kids who don't care about peoples efforts. No map should be less than 3 stars imho.

    EDIT: MJ6 - Golden Valley was the map. Played really nice.

    [QUOTE=AW LOST SOLDIER;13709869]It's a great example of the dark side of the map making community. it's been going on for years and years. people will smile and be nice to you but down vote your maps at the same time. that's the mapping community for you. they sometimes work in groups to down vote maps. dont let the no life scum get you down (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE)they will just have to come to terms about the fact that you are a better builder than them and down voting wont change that one bit.[/QUOTE

    I can let out a sigh of relief then knowing that you've never ever downvoted a map just for the sake of preventing other peoples maps to get featured and to have your map seem like its doing better; and/or have your cult/clan/following go in and downvote maps of people that you personally dont like. PHEW!! :/

    That is really pathetic..but also expected sadly.
    The dislike button should really go away and give players the option to either like or ignore the map.
