Phred might have just thought it was really bad.
Like I said earlier, unless you can read people's minds you shouldn't shout 'ANOTHER DOWNVOTER' just because someone gave a game 0/5
Nothing to do with someone not liking my game. It's to do with your pathetic little vendetta against me, and it's just an obvious attack. So sad. So weak.

People already report low ratings. But to be fair, everyone should report 5 ratings too. It's quite anyone's right to vote 0 stars, at least the new system exposes who does it. It used to be much, much worse. (just see the article ratings)

I don't think people should report ratings at all. If a game really sucks, should people be afraid of giving it a low rating just because the creator might report it?
And who decides what's a fair rating? Should the admins have to play through every game that has a low rating reported to decide if it deserves it? That's pretty unreasonable in my eyes.

It can be difficult to think of it that way, but I do agree with you there Muz. If you've a lot of friends, you'll get a lot of high ratings, a lot of enemys will rack up lower ratings. I guess it comes down to that really, tough luck if your game gets a low rating, congrats if it ranks high. Leave it to ourselves really. If someone rates stupidly low then we need do nothing official, it'll just make that person look childish. That's how I see it anyway.
Personally i don't think his game deserves 5 stars or 0 stars but i don't really give a shit about all that. Not everyone shares the same view. Phred obviously rates game play very high.
I'm gonna crawl really far out on a limb now and ask you Phredreeke, you thought the graphics effect was neat, am I correct? Could you appreciate the artistic skill needed to create the game? Did you think the choice of colors were appropriate between sprites?
What I am getting at here is really, could you Phredreeke have done it better? You thought it was neat, doesn't that mean that you think it bears some quality? Or do you see this as used toilet paper?
Do you see this as an experience sprung out of creative lust?
If you decide to rate it as low as possible contradictory to everyone else who have raised their opinion about it, it's not more than fair that you should at least tell us why it is equal to a offensive/pornographic/non-game. I can't understand why you would deem it horrible. So I (and probably many more) can only interpret your rating as a down-vote just for the hell of it. If I'm wrong, I do apologise, but if that is the case, please feel free to share your thoughts about it with the rest of the community here.
