rate downsFollow

#1 Nov 15 2007 at 6:12 PM Rating: Sub-Default
Hi, I'm having a problem where I'm getting way too much rate downs. I'm always very carefull what I wright when I post, I know sometimes I might have a spelling mistake, or mis-type something, or even say something that may look confusing or provide information from a bad source. I'm really not perfect, I make mistakes. but nobody bothers , I just get rate downs without any interaction.

My favourate forum is the warrior forum under job forums, or My server's Forum.

what I feel is there is some sort of Bot that looks at all my posts and rates them down, without looking at the contect.

I have plenty of knowledge about FF bin playing for 4 years on and off. there is a lot of people who are more knowlegable than me too. I can uderstand, if someone can help me see what I'm doing wrong exactly and I'm willing to learn.

I also don't post new subject anymore, because someone will usually rate down my entire thread and make it disapear. within few hours, it only takes 1 rate down to do that.

I just feel someone is out there, who has only one interest, which is to rate me down, without taking a look at the contect. I don't know who is it , I wish there is a tool that shows who's rating you down so that at least I know who is doing it.

I don't use any bad words, I never abuse anyone, I'm always friendlly to other players.

I see other players get away with many things that I'm carefull not to do , like bad words, providing bad information, I can't even tell them they have bad infofrmation because I get down rated to sub-default, virtually anything I type gets down-rated, with no good reason.

can someone explain or help me here? what should I do?

You are getting rated own by a variety of people. Looking at your posts I'm not familiar enough with FFXI game dynamics to know why a few of them were rated down, but I suspect they were due to people who didn't agree with your oppinions. For the rest of them, punctuation and capitolization are important.

You are perpetually rated down because people know you are also this person, and apparently haven't really changed your tone.

You advocate some pretty dumb ideas (lol @ wondering why you got yelled at for camping on top of a BLM duo in bibiki, for example), still haven't improved much on your typing skills, and still insist that somehow your 4 years of tenure (which I still question the existence of, but then again look at guys like Seraphus and Wrish who have been playing since release supposedly) entitle you to some kind of predisposed status in the community.

Oh, yrah. being a sockpuppet will do the trick too. Go back to your main account.

Wow, the retardation of Wrish is known beyond Phoenix? I'm mildly impressed. He actually deleted his Wrish character cuz his rep on Phoenix was so bad nobody would even exp with him. He's a female elvaan named Zozur now.

Does it still count as a sock if his first account got rated into oblivion and he doesn't use it anymore?

Please, elaborate. He tries quite hard to make himself anonymous in his goings about **** talking on various class forums that he clearly knows nothing about, so if you have proof that Zozur = Wrish, I'd like to know, lol.

If he's honestly trying at a fresh start, I'd say no.

I would agree with you on the concept of it not counting as "sockpuppet = evil" but it doesn't mean his rep doesn't follow him, unfortunately.

well, if his posting style/additude/grammer/ability to spell, had changed it might have made a diference. Slaping a new name on the same type of post isn't going to get better results.

I do like the "I'm being RateBotted" theory though. Think there is an Alla_App availible? I wanna **** of lolgaxe and make him a guru!

Man, your new sock is already getting karma-hammered, and no one has even figured out it's you yet.

I wouldn't call that karma hammered, not enough posts to be hammered and not enough ratings either, but they will find out soon!

It sounds so less dramatic to say "three people are totally rating your new account down already!" though!

His thread in FFXI main stayed decent, even though I said 5 times he was a sock, even linked this 3 times.



Amazing.

I have no proof, unfortunately, beyond several people have told me it's Wrish and the few times I've partied with Zozur she acts, and talks EXACTLY like Wrish. Unfortunately, Wrish HAS been playing since before NA release and he was in one of my shells when I first started. It's easy enough to recognize his unique brand of unwarranted elitism. You know before his new character, he'd never even seen a sky god? And he played for like 4 years on Wrish.
