I don't care about ratings. Why do you need high ratings? Your snapshot can always get magically accepted, no matter how low the rating is. So why worry about that...
@torqu3: I noticed the same thing on several of my shots lately, an example with #113196: rated >7.8 after the first 24h, and finally rejected with 6.85, so I can imagine the average rating on the second day was around 5,8...it looks really strange to me... BTW, my last 7 shots were rejected whereas I have a usual rate around 70%, so I think i'm gonna take a little break in uploading, and I'll come back with enough money to corrupt a moderator :)
ma nema vise slika od mene..uzimam pauzu..nije da ce nekome falit slike xD da istoj osobi moderator moze magicno progurat dvije -7 slike zaredom..a nekima se bas sve 7+ slike skoro 3 tjedna samo odbijaju..naporno je stvarno.. a i primjetih koliko god glupe bile slike nekim clanovima ce proc..jer su face na visokim mjestima ili super sa moderatorima..jadno..ali nevermind.. sad mi je lakse i mogu se bacit na pogadjanje..treba se opet medju prvih 100 vratit.. :D

users over here are getting dumber and dumber! guess i need to post explosion bs shots, they seem to do well! godverdomme! teringzooi!
so to whomever wants to solve it, rate 10 and enter .....! ( i might give it away here soon ;) i'll give it a couple of more hours to get a higher rating )
ps: we might use this threat to help eachother out! give away solutions and rate eachother 10! damn i am brilliant
Yes, it's harder and harder...for me the worst is not to get bad notes (unknown movies get quite always low notes)... it's to look at the shots that get good ones... ;)
all of your shots that are still running have got a 10/10 (unbiased, what else! I believe in those shots!), the rest got a (totally unbiased) 10/10, too ;)
why do penises get low ratings? http://whatthemovie.com/shot/116030 , tits usually rate much higher.. need some help friends! and support the penis shot mission!!
Lately i have the feeling that almost all of my shots get rejected and i have no idea why. That sucks. Things like http://whatthemovie.com/shot/119003 get rejected, while e.g. every single Audrey Hepburn shot gets throung by rating. Just can't understand that.
I say the voting system in NS isn't that bad. I also say the Magically Accepted Snap is vital.
Choosing a snap takes some time. We all know that. I feel it's important for all active players to stay in the game through magically accepted snap process.
Now. Here is my problem. This is purely emotional.
All my snaps were rejected in the last 15 days. ALL OF THEM!!!
(why am I yelling?)
How is it possible? I feel like BEING rejected. I kinda take it personally although I know it's NOT personal.
I'm okay to play the game but we all know it's rare to have a snap accepted in NS through the voting system. So that's why I'm happy to have a couple of snaps magically accepted from time to time.
I stay in the game along with everybody. I know there's some mods out there who spot the good snap.
From the 13 snaps rejected in the last 2 weeks, some should have made it for many reasons.
It would have been what? A couple of snaps magically accepted per week. Enough to keep any players happy.
Now I understand the mods cannot be everywhere. But let's face it: we lost a great funny player through this process (remember pspan?) and when I browse the rejected snaps of Doooom or RDPL55 (and many others), I say to myself: what happened?
Read me clearly. It's not about having a snap reaching FF, it's about contributing to the quality and the diversity of the game.
that was not the only reason pspan left, the main reason pspan left WTM because it was a sort of WTM addiction en he wanted to spend more time with his family so the only way he could do that was going cold turkey and deleted his account.
I had one of this periods some time ago, it's annoying but it will get better some time. You can't expect moderators to push shots from everyone. In the first place it's too time consuming and there would get too many shots in the FF. I still think the moderators do a really great job with pushing.
I'm not questionning the mods here. We respect them very much.
I'm questionning the uploading system.
There's too much frustration going on. WTM is a movie-lovers game after all.
That's it!
So why the frustration? What's the point? You don't win anything.
Look.
What bothers me the most is this: I don't understand why an active player or a resident player have to see his snaps rejected 2 weeks in a row (sometimes more when I read most of you).
Something is not right! This is really unfair.
I'm telling ya: after the last 2 weeks, I'm not motivated to upload anything! Why giving time for nothing? This is absurd!
The actual uploading system is not about sharing.
It's about voting. It's about selecting. It's about judging.
Now I reckon there's the Awesome Upload who permits you to skip the painful NS zone. But 12 AUs per year when you're a resident cannot possibly keep you happy.
We know you can also win AUs inside the Vault. But the winners are pretty much the same (I'm happy for them: that's not the point here) plus you have to work A LOT to reach the Vault Top 10.
Conclusion. 1. To me the voting system doesn't work as it should. There's a big misunderstanding about the process: people have a tendency to vote high when they know the snap.
2. The Magically Accepted Snap process give work to the mods and some kind of responsability. Is this a good idea? I don't know: I'm no mod.
3. Frustration. Anger. Feeling rejected from the community. Those are the emotions felt by uploaders seeing most of their snaps going down the drain.
I say there should be a new system for uploading shots. A system based on what the Creators already invented: the WTM BUCKS. What's the point to win money if you can't spend it?
Buying AUs with WTM bucks is the best idea so far.
I'm sure there would be other ideas if we brainstorm between us. But do we really want to change anything? Most important: do the creators want to spend time for this?
I don't know. But I know for sure I'm going to stop uploading anything for some times.
For my shots, i don't really give a damn, but i just feel it's now more a competition about good-looking shots instead of "who is the king of the quizz game", which was the first idea of this community.
@kinoute I've read your posts. And I like your insights.
The real problem to me is about frustration. Apparently adjusting some of the selecting features will not ease the frustration of being rejected so often.
Man: 2 weeks in a row is definitely too much! Like you, I don't aim for having as many snaps as possible in FF. Hell! I'll be happy with one snap per week.
How many players are we btw? What's the quota for the numbers of shots accepted per day?
I don't know.
But here is another idea (and I don't know if it floods the game).
No voting system. Each player has ONE AU per week (if he doesn't use it, it doesn't add the next week). Each resident player has 6 AUs per month.
The only shots getting accepted lately are the Animation shots, and thats really frustrating, because that's going the easy way.. And shots of the same people, i don't know what's going on lately, but it has really taken of the fun of it!
I totally agree. It's frustrating sometimes. You do your best to upload a nice shot and it gets more and more difficult to get a shot in FF. And really good shots are getting such a low rating, it's unbelievable. I really don't understand. A few months ago good shots got an 8 + and now it's so difficult to get such a rating. I'll keep uploading, but these last few weeks have been difficult.
kinoute: in fact that’s not entirely true—we want to change the game mechanics (big time), but I currently lack a programmer to do so. palahniuk: there’s always gonna be frustration—if everybody would win, it wouldn’t be a game.
yeah, it's a bit frustrating at times. but because of that, i started to participate in the contests to win AUs. worked quite well so far, got like 25 of em left.
the thing is: i know there's something to be changed, but i don't know WHAT. that's quite a task for the creators.
@Sebassie1: yep, noticed that latelies. It's kind of weird, cause if you browse my gallery for example you'll get to think I only watch animations cause they're all that get through :P but that's pretty much not what I usually try. But what to say, it's easier to create awesome stuff if it doesn't have to obey budgets and physics, so that's probably not going to change...
@Razzomega: that's a shame, I like your snaps and usually give them a nice high rating =/ but it seems people dun agree with my personal taste and the snaps I like most end up being rejected. Or pushed by magic.
The really most frustrating thing so far is when I upload something that ends up at sixes and I see a few character shots at sevens...
