    5 up and 5 down equates as zero.
    The point is how often do you get 5 thumbs down? 😉

    I remember a time when that would have been 10 up, what does that tell you goad?

    Not unusual for me to get 11 between the clique and friends! 😉

    'Clans' is a Marmite forum.

    I think it was your "listen to me, damnit" attitude they are thumbing down.

    You may be right, but my dear "I don't give a damn"! 🙂

    I raise my glass to all the clans,
    tis a shame it's all so quiet,
    I guess we're busy buying masks,
    or on some crazy lockdown diet.

    Of all the folk on RHP,
    tis clan folk in their prime,
    we brush aside the Trogglehumpers,
    and perhaps commit a crime.



    Where the heck is everybody?
    Clan player ratings need to be implemented.
    Over time all players should be 50/50 as far as win/loss percentage if they are playing people of their own strength.
    We have people with a 70% clan game win percentage?
    Obviously losing regular games to keep rating down so they can win clan games easier.

    If we had a clan rating then it would balance back down to 50/50 average in clan wins/losses.

    Start with that and we are on our way back to the clans being popular.
    We have a regular rating and a useless club rating so why not a clan rating?

    Actually something we have been talking about for years.

    I believe the clan ratings should be seperate from the other ratings as I agree with the point you are making.

    A vote was done in the past and the majority wanted to keep everything as it now stands.

    There will always be a very small minority of players who will try and lower their main ratings to affect clan pairings. However, for the overwhelming majority of members, their established site ratings are a pretty strong indicator of their playing strength.

    To introduce clan ratings on account of that small minority would cause more problems than it would solve. (Just take a look at team ratings and see how poorly they match up to ability).

    As you've said before, doesn't mean you wouldn't make a good one. Of course doesn't mean you would either as a lot of work has to be put in it if you want to be on the first page.
