I have noticed that multiple /likes and /dislikes still count. This is easily abusable, as was done to me by Kent0526 on Wednesday because I "had no skills". This needs to be fixed, and the power should be decreased somewhat, because if it's not, it's still easily abusable. The latter's optional though, the multiple /likes/dislikes should be removed though.

Thank you. (Also, for those who care, my username on World of Minecraft: Realms is SML879.)

OMG! You are NUMBER 2 AND NOT 1?! HOLY CRIPE WHAT A SURPRISE!

Because your realm is so awesome.

[/sarcasm]

And, also, the reason the /dislikes came in was because of "no skill".

Multiple?

Only one dislike was given.

I believe the system works with more rep = more power

Yeah, right.

Kent, a single dislike, even from you, can't drop me 4000 ranks.

Once again.

His dislikes aren't as powerful as you think. One dislike can't drop me 4000 ranks unless it's from, like, and ENGINEER, not a constructor.

Complaining much?  Kent can

Complaining much?  Kent can dislike whoever he wants.  Triddin has said that /likes are more powerful than /dislikes.

That's 2000. Not 4000.

My realm, before Kent disliked it, was around #200. Now it's around #4500.

Sir, you fail.

That test was after the rating system and ranks changed. Kent's power is now halved.

Halved?

It was reduced to 1/5th of its original power, apparently

Dry your eyes

If someone dislikes your realm so what, being high in the ranks should be for skill and creativity. Anyone can dislike or like a realm, there is no point in complaining on the forums.

Seriously?

You let this guy into your realm through advertising in chat, it's not like he said

'imma visit random realms for teh lulz and dislike them'
What did you expect? He doesn't do this kind of stuff for fun, hell, I have a hard time getting guests into my realm, you should be lucky that you got an engineer (if not, sorry kent, it's been two days when I was last in World of Minecraft: realms :/) into your realm.

Yeah, no.

Have you been paying attention AT ALL in the past month?

If not, lemme fill you in.
Three words: I. DON'T. ADVERTISE.
Kent came into my realm and dropped a /dislike because of an argument HE WASN'T EVEN INVOLVED IN, and thus it was none of his business in the first place!

Here :)

New likes/dislikes are more powerful.

They gradually decrease in power over 30 days until they are at 1/5th (20%) of their original power.

So if you want your likes/dislikes to have maximum power, you need to keep applying them.

copied from http://www.worldofminecraft.com/node/17971 and said by triddin

1 (dis)like per realm only counts it just renews it


now quit fighting or ill ask an owner to close this

Added scores.

Ok, on the top realms page, I've increased it to top 200 and added the actual score below the position #.

As you can see. At the bottom end, a change of a few points can jump you a heck of a long way. So those people who are saying "Oh, Kent disliked me and blew me away to the stoneages", well Kent had a liking power of several thousand points (yes), and a dislike power a third of that (like 500ish)... So if you got Kent to come to your realm and like it, you're set. Instantly into the top 20s. If he disliked it though, that was pretty bad for you if you only had a few hundred points, then you'd be sitting back at position 2000ish.

This was not abuse. Kent knew what good realms were and what they weren't. He had gained enough reputation that we trust his judgement.

It was the system as it was designed at the time. Since then the system has changed however.

Pre-update

Oh, I should have mentioned the numbers used above were pre-update. Since the update, these numbers are vastly reduced. In Kent's case he only has about 170 like power at the moment.

I have put on your user pages the amount of like power you have. And also beside the realms on the main page, the score of your realm.
