    Minecraft Name: AgentHare

    Suggestion: Not allow any threads that have people asking for ratings in return for money or asking for ratings in general.

    Reason: I want a nice, friendly and fair competition for the trophies. I want people to earn them with effort and over time, not someone saying "I'll pay 10k to a random so and so who likes this post!!" It ruins the entire point of trophies. I don't want to see this happen, and ratings should not work this way. I would suggest locking and deleting any thread that does this. It ruins trophies for everyone and overall is wrong.

    Any Other Information: http://www.ecocitycraft.com/forum/threads/rate-this-post-for-money.85055/page-2#post-417367 This is not ok.

    http://www.ecocitycraft.com/forum/threads/10-000-random-giveaway.82980/ This user did this before trophies and it was unintentional, but look how many ratings the user racked up. 42! Thats ridiculous.

    I would like to tag someone as well. dork1877
    I agree with this post too. Too many people can't earn their ratings like the aforementioned user. I like to see people have good quality posts that actually deserve ratings.

    I agree with this. I take pride in my Ratings, regardless of whether they mean anything or not, and players essentially paying other people to give them ratings doesn't feel right.

    As for a rule being implemented on this, I'm doubtful that it'll actually happen, but I definitely do not feel that this kind of behavior should be encouraged.

    I asked if this was in the rules and, even though I'd hate to quote from a conversation, this is what kuke responded with:
    Just add it to the rules, let people report and lock/delete threads that involve it. Of course it wouldn't be that simple but in the end it is really worth it.

    I agree that this shouldn't be legal. Further, I feel the reaction should be a deletion of the thread, which, btw does delete all the ratings involved.

    Does it remove trophy points as well?
    Let's say I'm on 95 ratings and got 5 to get the 100 trophy award, would it be deleted as well?

    Honestly is it really going to change?
    People have done this before and nothing was done about it

    Well if he pulled 40+ votes it's possible that he hit a trophy mark. If this gets passed watch his ratings when the thread is removed.

    But now there are trophies, so now ratings mean a lot more and it creates a competition. I want it to be fair and earned, not cheaply gained.

    I agree with this, if someone is writing meaningful and useful posts then their ratings will reflect that, and I don't know about you guys but I base a lot of my trust in a player ingame on how they are rated on the forums etc. I don't want to be mislead by ratings if the player is not actually contributing to the server via the forums. For me it feels like paying someone to leave a good review of something, which in real life is illegal, and illegal for good reason.

    Earn the ratings in a legit way guys!

    Well I believe this is something that should be addressed and dealt with.

    Haha don't be! If you spend time holding on to the negative you'll have no hands free for the positive. People will always do stuff like this, in real life and in games. But as you can see on this thread we all see right through it and recognise the people who really deserve the ratings. :cool:
