    I agree the new system is not the best but it's not as bad as the old one, when it first started out i would be happy with even a 2 star rating, what I got very angry about though was people rating things lower stars and not stating what needs to be changed, I did, and the people went apeshit... @ahappyape

    @PlanesOfOld see from.my side of the fence I didn't have any of this foolishness. I got 4/5 stars and was happy with that. I always made sure that if I gave less than 5 I wrote why. When used correctly it was better. The thing I most liked was you could give newbies a boost. 3 stars - good start etc. You constantly now see forums with people moaning about not getting seen. So unless you do make friends - or your incredible - it's so hard to get noticed. I agree the old system ended up screwed for the reasons you said. The new system defo needs tweaking somehow.

    Oh lord I remember this. Before I made this account I would see little poops that barely fly get 5 stars and be one of the best planes.

    Yes I did, I hated the old rating system because people like homersdonut who just make friends and spam non areoplane posts every day got more 5 star ratings than me, the person who spends weeks perfecting my aircraft, this all got better with upvotes and now haters can't one star all your stuff and say it sucks, and people don't get shirty if you 4 star their plane and say it needs to be perfected, Litteraly people went apesht when i gave constructive criticism and I went apesht about the haters abusing the system to annoy the 3 month old platinum user with servere mental health problems at the time. It DID NOT WORK and that is final! @ahappyape

    At least you don't spend 5 days building something and have it rated 2 stars by some ungrateful little rotter and then see some plane obviously made in less than 2 mins and not tested get 5 stars... @ahappyape

    @PlanesOfOld how is that different to now? Terrible planes just get upvoted instead of 5 stars

    Poeple only lost their minds because
    A. It was too easily abused
    B. Made your plane look bad to other users if it had any less than 5 stars
    C. Event the most terrible planes were given 5 stars by those users like King deadshot who like to help the White and bronze users get noticed..
    D. People rated their friends planes 5 stars no matter how bad or good they were, this is why homersdognut and thesoundoflight are gold... @ahappyape

    @General360 IMO it was a better rating system - but people lost their minds when they got any less than 5 stars

    I believe it's from before it was "upvotes" back when there were stars instead

    Are you talking about the user that used to spam everyone "this rating has been grandfathered in by the old rating system"?
