Petition for toggling off rating system on your track | Forums

[TeriXeri]

In summary: Ditch the custom feeds and add a 48 hour feed (or something similar).

I add to this, I suggested time-filters (start and end timeframes to search inbetween) to custom feeds, and that would keep custom feed intact while also effectively turn them into 24/48 hr/week/2week/month/3month/6month/year/whatever timeframe feed. (example numbers) win/win situation for all.

So i think we are stuck with the disslike button , extreme ninja and so forth going round dissliking ppls tracks while we cant vote on thiers.

I totally agree, extremes/ninjas often do end with those crazy high download/very low vote (but all likes) ratio, and it skews ratings all around.

Fusion handled it a little better then Evo, a ninja with few likes/0dislike isn't automaticly higher then everything but still it affects feeds after a while with enough downloads/votes to set the % system into action.

Easy/Medium tracks pretty much all the time end up with more dislikes cause people can finish/vote them and track usually end up like 80-95% if it's a good one, while harder ninjas are often hovering somewhere around 95-100%.

Wait I don't get it. Saudipro dislikes tracks whatever the quality, and so what ? Is that really a reason for suggesting to remove the rating system ?

I don't think he's the type of guy who gives free dislikes lol. I myself disliked some near-TO5 tier quality tracks but I had my own reasons (Bad riding line, improvable deco, ...). Same goes for saudi, he must have specific reasons for disliking.

Btw removing the rating system on a track would just cause it to fall into the deepest abyss of TC without even knowing if people liked/disliked it.

I've got nothing against saudi and don't know the guy personally, but I've seen him upvote some real stinkers on twitch. Can't say I've ever seen him downvote to be honest so no comment there

You gotta remember people spite others just out of knowing that someone is a better editor, when I say better, more knowledgeable in the editor than they are.

Favouritism can be a problem and always can be biased.

Multi account boosting is always a problem.

People do these things when people did and didn't deserve it, the recognition sets its own example too.

You could always have a vote up system like Facebook has a like system and no dislike, but then people always want the extra function...

Seems like we are in a bit of a pickle.

the current rating is the Noobs can not be excluded .... RedLynx has to explain to the noob, the advantage of a note impartially track

it's their game .... and their future is at stake, it now looks like Russian roulette

I'm all for the idea of disabling the ratings for a track. If this whole thing is based off YouTube, then this concept should be in effect too. The thing is, with track central in its current state, tracks without ratings will disappear into obscurity immediately. What redlynx can do to fix this is bring BACK the "most downloaded" search function from evo. It was quite useless back then, though it would be exactly what this could use.

Or perhaps even more useful, a search function for "most played". It'd be a very telling statistic, even more so than the ratings or downloads.

Good idea, extra filters for # of downloads , or # of players finished.

Dunno how it could effectively track "most played", people could load a track, but also restart after finishing/faulting without loading, or exit a track to swap bikes or something.

With more filters to the currently 4 custom feeds people could search more precise without implementing extra space with permanent feeds.

Trials Evo Gold had a pretty awesome search engine:
