I am away from jj2 but want to comment to this any ways.
We hold no grudge against CC. But the user Black Energy was given low status because of account abuse, and thus should not review at all. Same with ShadowXR.
If we see a level with an average rating between the 5.2 and 5.5 we do suspect something is wrong when a friend of Craccoboy suddenly gives a 9.2 review. As the rules say: “2. Rating levels obviously unfair(give a level with an average rating of 2, a 10, or one with an average rating of 10, a 2, or something like that. (try not to rate your own friend’s levels in a biased way)”.
I have said this a lot of times, but I am NOT biased towards GPW or any clan. If you want to know why Black Energy was banned, just PM me.
Craccoboy, I don’t think your argument about Disguise’s tilesets is right. The situation is not comparable. Disguise’s files generally get high ratings. When we suddenly see friends of Disguise rating his levels high, while all other non-friends rate his tilesets high too, why should we suspect something? If everyone gave one of his tilesets a 5 and a friend suddenly rated it 10 we would remove that review just as well. You see, everyone holds different opinions. Some rate less strict then others. Because of this, different people rate levels differently. One rates it 7, the other 8. This is only a small margin, however. We simply don’t trust differences of 5 points. Such a difference has nothing to do with one’s own ‘opinion’. If you truly rate things for their eyecandy and gameplay, or whatever factors, you can’t have such huge differences in the ratings, because while one may dislike the level for the gameplay and another one might like the gameplay, even someone who dislikes the gameplay will see that it has quality, even though it’s not his style.(Compare it with music. You may not like the classic rock genre, but it’s still good, it’s just not your style). This is called objectivity. If everyone rates objectively(and there is a lack of people who do that) you won’t have 5 point differences. Or are you accusing Disguise and Flash of being biased against you? ;p

No, Craccoboy, you can’t be held responsible for Bolt and ShadowXR. It’s simply so that as they were banned they weren’t allowed to review.
And it’s the high rater’s side against the low rater’s side. The difference between the sides was that the people who rated high were your friends. Friends generally are a whee more biased. I have reason to think Flash and Disguise aren’t biased. I have enough reason to think the two banned persons who have a history of biased ratings were biased. And Jackass, suddenly started to review, starting with the level of his friend. This does not help make his case more believable, still, maybe his review shouldn’t have been deleted. The reviews of the two banned persons would have been deleted even if they had given one of Shadow’s levels a good rating.
I am sorry that I thought the 5.x reviews were earlier then the biased ones. I still think that it was just to delete the reviews for the reasons I mention here.
I am also sorry that we made the rating of your level go lower, but that’s just how we work. Let’s see if the next people who rate this level (unbiased) will make the rating go higher.[This review has been edited by FQuist]
