From: Usagi Musashi I still get that feeling Wild.......  Some people are explaining it was only abused, but really not everyone did this. And the population was so so small inj those arounf 35,000 users. Yes there was rating parties but. And actually, the smaller population meant that each positive rate made you MORE money than it would if they brought it back now since the curve was so much smaller.

From: Jellin Pico No offence, but you aren't old enough to talk about ratings abuse. The system had already diluted the ratings payout by 10-2004. You could make a FORTUNE by a well timed rating abuse party. And it did occur every bit as often as people say it did. I should know, I was one of them. edit to add ... and I do believe they used to cost just $1 not $5 PER RATE Frankly between oct 2004 and Jan 30th 2005 the rate abuse was very high. Some people were just 3 rating people for the uppingof weekly pay.......I Not saying rating orgys did not happen, infact I said in my remarks about THEY DID. I just did not get involved with then as the others did. When i saw a person that was 2 months younger then then I and they had 500+ more then me I knew they are part of that group. Again I never said they did not occur, infact all i said was they did not happen ass occur ( refering to me as one of then ). Sorry for the confusion. Usagi |
