NightProwler
10.21.13 | Why on earth would you 2 those albums? Not that I've heard ALL of them |
NightProwler
10.21.13 | 1, 2, 3 and 6 are sweet. Haven't heard 4 and 5, but I can't imagine GY!BE and Agalloch being bad |
Artuma
10.21.13 | ok
damn prowl, you need to hear 4 and 5 asap |
MeatSalad
10.21.13 | die |
NightProwler
10.21.13 | Artuma: I know, dude. So many albums, gaaarh...!
Brand: Btw, you can't 1.5 those albums, because their avg on this site is too high. Ergo, Sputnik
thinks that no one is stupid enough to give these albums anything less than 2 seeing as they are so
widely acclaimed by people that even a moron should be able to recognize their importance. P.S.
fucking edit button, now there is no space between my paragraphs. |

10.21.13 | dang sweet pic thebrandnewfan123 got me all hot bruh bruh |
BigBlob
10.21.13 | wtf, thats pathetic. whats the point in the rating system if you can rate an album how you want? sputnik is facist |
NightProwler
10.21.13 | Don't you speak your mind, you!! |
Keyblade
10.21.13 | brandnewfan

God bless sput |
Rowan5215
10.21.13 | Sputnik just knows when you're a pleb and does its best to contain you |
thebrandnewfan123
10.21.13 | so sputnik says there is no such thing as disliking gy!be |
Rowan5215
10.21.13 | well there isn't |
DrHouseSchuldiner
10.21.13 | wow you cant give closer to the edge less than 5 not a 2 |

10.21.13 | "Sputnik thinks that no one is stupid enough to give these albums anything less than 2 seeing as they are so widely acclaimed by people that even a moron should be able to recognize their importance."
While that may or may not be a part of it, I think it's more that if an album's average is too high, some dumbass who disagrees or just thinks he's funny will go and make some alts or get his friends to unfairly rate these albums just to bring down the average. I honestly can't think of a fair way around this issue, so I guess this is the best that mx and the crew could come up with.
P.S. fucking edit button, now there is no space between my paragraphs. [2; this really really really needs to be fixed] |
RadicalEd
10.21.13 | sput comes with a retard detector. |
SharkEthic
10.21.13 | tell me about it! i've been trying to rate None So Vile a 1.5 forever, and the site's having none of it |
porch
10.21.13 | the problem is sputnik users aren't renowned for having good taste ^see radicaled above^ so the algorithm protects a lot of shitty albums as well |
RadicalEd
10.21.13 | lol. |
RadicalEd
10.21.13 | Sorry I ain't renowned for loving obscure noise rock and punk like you. |

10.21.13 | The National Trouble Will Find Me
If this goes lower than 4.3, I'm gonna make so many alts to five it ;). RUMBLED |
RadicalEd
10.21.13 | Yea. I was totally serious with this. You can see that by the 4.3 rating the album still has. |
Keyblade
10.21.13 | lol |
tlhk
10.21.13 | i thought this was a joke but he's not kidding, lol. you have to rate it a 2.5 or higher from the overview page, then click on the album and change rating, where you can rate it whatever you want. how fucking stupid is this |
RadicalEd
10.21.13 | It's a safeguard to prevent troll ratings of popular albums by accounts like brandnewfan. |
BigBlob
10.21.13 | or maybe some people really dont like the album? its unfair that certain sput fanboy albums are impossible to rate low because some of said fanboys will get butthurt. |
Keyblade
10.21.13 | Yeah cuz that's totally the reason why |
43
10.21.13 | I have the same problem with In the Nursery - Duality, I guess even a small number of ratings can make a difference
|
RadicalEd
10.21.13 | "or maybe some people really dont like the album? its unfair that certain sput fanboy albums are impossible to rate low because some of said fanboys will get butthurt."
Tell me what do you think is more likely.
scenario a: A bunch of trolls band together, make a thousand alts and 1 "Close to the Edge" just because you know. It's funny
scenario b: The majority of the sputnikcommunity decides that "Close to the Edge is only worth a 1.5"
It's not to safe butthurt fanboys (who are butthurt if you give it a 2.5 anyways) it's just to block trolling. |
BigBlob
10.21.13 | what about the people that give instant 1's to unpopular sput bands like Korn? thier new album is solid yet it wont stop the sputters giving it an instant 1. |
BigBlob
10.21.13 | I think thats a bigger problem than this "alt user" BS that is far rarer than everyone thinks. |
thebrandnewfan123
10.21.13 | >doesnt like sput fanboy albums
>MUST BE A TROLL |
BigBlob
10.21.13 | I dont like Jane Doe
MUST BE TROLL OMFG |
Keyblade
10.21.13 | "what about the people that give instant 1's to unpopular sput bands like Korn? thier new album is solid yet it wont stop the sputters giving it an instant 1."
Then report them if you think they're troll ratings, simple as that. They will be dealt with, the policy on troll ratings goes both ways. Or is rating popular albums low your way of getting back at them? |
BigBlob
10.21.13 | then whats wrong with reporting "troll" ratings on the popular albums. Its pathetic that we are forced not to give a certain rating just because "omg if you rate this album low you are a troll". The whole reason to use this site is to give your opinion on music. to block people from giving a rating is just stupid. |
Keyblade
10.21.13 | It's simple logic really. If you were a troll, who's easier to troll...fans of unpopular albums, or that of popular albums? It's just much so more widespread when it comes to the more popular albums, and almost nonexistent the other way around. Troll politics ma nig |
treeqt.
10.21.13 | sputnik ratings suck agreed |
30secondstocydonia
10.21.13 | This guy gave Skinny Fists and F#A# both 2's... wat. |
SeaAnemone
10.21.13 | it's a dumb rule, but you also must remember that mx -rightfully so- does not give a shit about your stanky ass nor your poor taste in music and this is purely a move to limit really hilarious 'trolling' opportunities; so to that end you should probably see why it's justified |
PunchforPunch
10.21.13 | this guy can 1 every GYBE albums for all i care. |
Cygnatti
10.21.13 | you can rate it a 2 regardless of rating, but once the average gets to 4.3, you can't rate it lower than that. |
SeaAnemone
10.21.13 | personally I think the algorithm would be much better used if one couldn't rate Bullet For My Valentine or Thrice records above a 4
but on the other hand it's a lot funnier when people rate albums like those a 5 than it is when they rate GYBE a 1... hmmmm |
Underflow
10.21.13 | I'm not bothered by this. I'm not a big fan of Loveless, for instance, but I don't mind just not
rating it. It's certainly not bad enough to warrant a score in a 1.5-.5 range. It's just not my cup of
tea. |
osmark86
10.21.13 | ^can we just agree with this? trolling exists regardless of how fucking utterly boring it is and sputnik's attempts to counter them is a way of protecting the site's legitimacy. which is only logical. |
Keyblade
10.21.13 | What Sea said. Who even gives a fuck about ratings anyway? So what if you can't 1.5 an album? Is a 2 so much more different of a rating? |
SeaAnemone
10.21.13 | additionally, the people that this 'makes really mad' are usually the same users who work on a scale of 3=horrible, 4=average, 5=omgthisisthebestalbumOFTHEWEEK, so rating these albums a 2 should sufficiently satisfy their extreme angst, no? |
43
10.21.13 | I think it'd be better if a rating chart didn't exist and neither did the average rating. That way, unless you comment, or somebody snoops through your account, nobody knows what you rated an album.
Out of sight, out of mind ;) |
PunchforPunch
10.21.13 | what sea said |
osmark86
10.21.13 | hahaha, yeah pretty much sea ;) |

10.21.13 | I can't imagine living an existence where something like this would upset me. |
osmark86
10.21.13 | well you do by the looks of it. |
Underflow
10.21.13 | Lol what? |
osmark86
10.21.13 | I realize now that I read your comment the wrong way haha, my bad :) |
Underflow
10.21.13 | Oh, okay. I was pretty confused there for a moment haha. |
PunchforPunch
10.21.13 | 4.5 for scream aim fire
3.5 for Ok Computer
well.... |
thebrandnewfan123
10.21.13 | well obv ok computer has a lot bigger influence than scream aim fire and i can see why people praise it so much but i personally enjoy scream aim fire more, something wrong with that? |
