Huh?

I'd like to know your standpoint on how 'the whole Bemani scene is unpopular' first before debunking the rest of that. Especially with the philosophical addition of human nature and ripping off FFR; I have to admit that's a nice touch for too many lines. Now at least I can tell where you hail from.

While that sounds interesting, in theory, I'd have to wade through a bunch of nub files in order to get that to work out the way you're talking and as you'll no doubt guess there is a lot of content in the simfile database that really isn't that well-made. It's about 1 'average' sim per 10 'bad 'ones and 1 'good' sim per 10 'average' ones. If someone had to look at a sim or a given number of sims before they could up one because there wasn't enough votes in any given sim, people would be looking at thousands of sims that they'd rather not. Tthe database would have to be changed around as well for simmers to accomodate that idea...a lot...and I know for a fact that the people here are rather slow on the upkeep and vivid ideas such as that would take years to do. In other words, too many overkill changes without a lot of results or fast enough results when it could just easily be fixed with the initial suggestion posted at the start of this thread.

But going further on your idea just to appease a point...sure, that idea allows one (or rather forces a simmer) to give out more comments, but a lot of people aren't looking for actual constructive critique about there simfile and how to get better more than spotlight itself. Why do I say this? Because I've seen many people either get pissed over the fact 'that they s uck' so to speak or just give up simfiling altogether when told how to fix something that may or may not be simple and give up out of frustration...which brings me back to the option of simply disabling ratings/comments altogether AS ON OPTION for those that want it and chasing that idea with the ratings threshold reduced to 3 minimum before it shows up.

Pretty darn easy fix. It'd be nice if comments were necessary to do BEFORE rating could take place as well.
