why the ratings?

member · **why the ratings? -** 09-30-2003, 07:35 PM

is there a way to get rid of the ratings?

they don't mean shit and it's useless...

kind of like post counts where the "coolest" kids have the most posts regardless of their skill.

i'm sure trainer rated me as a 1 for obvious reasons...

it helps build up the self esteem of the lesser b-boys

ken swift signs up and has 50 posts, b-boy dipshiz has 30000 posts therefore dipshiz has the right to look down on ken swift

YEAH RIGHT

you do got a point member, i suggest we allocate random numbers to ppl and give that number to them as their post count

yeah u can switch it of

User CP -> Edit Options -> Allow other users to rate you? Yes/No

''kind of like post counts where the "coolest" kids have the most posts regardless of their skill''

you are stupid...ahahaha.

you should read the posts above you. maybe then you'll understand what's going on.

"um so ur saying u need skill to have lots of posts? haha riiggghhttt...."

yes, THAT'S what i mean. you need 1000's of posts to be even considered as a b-boy.

you're so confused...yet you don't even know it...because you're confused about you being confused. ahahahah!

some people in this forum dont even fuckin bboy u retard
hence the dj forums, mc forusm etc etc

haha ur a true dickhead if u judge ppl on how many posts they should have

totally fuckin stoooooopidddd lol

iomek · 10-01-2003, 03:45 AM

trainer, he is sayin that there shouldent be post counts cause people will judje you by them and not your skill, like if a newb came on here, and saw a thread with two members on, one had 4000 posts and the other had 40 but the one with 40 was better, but he never new that, then i think the newb will PM the guy with 4000 posts but that guy know' fuck all

pacerok · 10-01-2003, 07:59 AM

Trainer · 10-01-2003, 01:51 PM

Trainer · 10-01-2003, 01:52 PM

B-Girl BaLi · 10-01-2003, 02:08 PM

the rating is sposed to be based on HOW GOOD OF A FORUM USER YOU ARE... not on ya skill level or watever ...

But here is what mostly happens on forums.

Bboy dipshiz has been bboying for a year or two, maybe has some moved down cold, and is considered almost ok, but not really good if u were to battle him.

Ken swift, although his user name says ken swift, if actually a 12 year old boy living in a shed in australia that does not know how to bboy.

Tainer, he doesnt have a rating, but it was one. It DOESNT take skill to have a high post count, try reading the entire post next time, lest you be clowned on again
