I -cannot- tell you how upsetting it has become for me to always tripple rate people, and then they rate me back and I'm so grateful. But then I look, and they only rated once. For one, they might not have a clue that I rated them three times, there's no notice in the pop up. Secondly, most people are trying to cut back on the rating costs. I have considered only doing single rates now, but I just can't bring myself to only do one rating if I've got 75L sitting there.

Or, it could be (no offense) that a lot of people have started to use the rating system "as intended"... If I don't have evidence that someone is a good builder, they don't get a + building from me, for example. About all you can tell from a lot of rates is how the person looks, and thats highly subjective.

What should such fellows as I do crawling between earth and heaven? We are arrant knaves, all; believe none of us.

I hate it when people rate me for the purpose of causing me to rate them. It's disingenuous.
