11.06.24 | i vote yes so i dont have to write tons of reviews for my trv ratings |
YoYoMancuso
11.06.24 | yes just so i can 1.5 depeche mode - violator |
Bedex
11.06.24 | I agree in principle but in practice this is unlikely to happen and is probably not the site's most critical issue if we do manage to get fixes implemented |
Egarran
11.06.24 | Sorry, there shall be no changes in any way. |
tellah
11.06.24 | + Neutral Milk Hotel |
ToSmokMuzyki
11.06.24 | i also vote eggy shall not be allowed to vote |

11.06.24 | "yes just so i can 1.5 depeche mode - violator"
but why would you do that |
Demon of the Fall
11.06.24 | Yeah agreed, but of all the changes we need / want this barely made the top 50 in a recent poll that didn’t actually happen
I mean being able to create an account might be nice for some folk |
Futures
11.06.24 | i just don't get the logic for why this rule was there in the first place. when there was a low userbase maybe to protect from trolling? can't happen now obviously especially with no new accounts lol. and to be clear low rating classic albums is almost disengenious but you should be able to do it. |
Bedex
11.06.24 | Being able to create an account is one of the more pressing issues I was thinking of yes |
tectactoe
11.06.24 | All three albums you listed are great. |
Relinquished
11.06.24 | why be concerned with hating lol |
Storm In A Teacup
11.06.24 | Or ratings in general |
Storm In A Teacup
11.06.24 | I like using sputnik ratings to keep track of what to listen to. If i havent heard it, it gets a 3.0 so its basically in the "watch later" section of youtube 🤣 |
TheManMachine
11.06.24 | huh you can't rate under a 2 if it's 4.4 or more? is that true? |
Futures
11.06.24 | yes |
SomeCallMeTim
11.06.24 | I remember calling this rule out in the forums like 12 years ago
so any day now |
YoYoMancuso
11.06.24 | "but why would you do that"
the sounds contained within the runtime of the recording are subpar |
JohnnyoftheWell
11.06.24 | taking bets on whose 5s are getting posted first itt |
JeetJeet
11.06.24 | I support this |
ToSmokMuzyki
11.06.24 | its more like 4.351+ cuz sometimes you can and other times cant -2 a 4.3 |
ArsMoriendi
11.06.24 | We can't because MX has forsaken us |
ffs
11.07.24 | it is insanely easy to rate 4.4+ albums 1.5 or less, dismayed by your pathetic lack of volition |
JohnnyoftheWell
11.07.24 | damn, someone else got hacks |
ffs
11.07.24 | it's a good job that i simply don't care enough to do it, otherwise my 1 ratings would make a hugely significant difference in the face of the 1k+ 5 ratings on the albums that i hate so much |
JohnnyoftheWell
11.07.24 | names boio |
ffs
11.07.24 | smoothly dodging the chance to post your 5s, the point im making is the difference between being able to rate very highly rated albums with hundreds of ratings a 2 or a 1 doesnt fucking matter at all!!! |
ToSmokMuzyki
11.07.24 | yeah well not everyone sussily messes with a 20 yo websites spaghetti code |
ffs
11.07.24 | yeah i bet you only eat spaghetti with hamburger helper you fucking cretin |
Colton
11.07.24 | holy shit I just 1'd Spiderland and the average dropped. this is a good day https://ibb.co/t8vt5Jp |

11.07.24 | "There’s only like two people on this website"
So it's just me and some other person with a shitload of alts? |
Demon of the Fall
11.07.24 | hmm, but that's what an alt would say |
gabba
11.07.24 | If everyone could use 0.1 ratings, this dumb rule could be removed and avg switched to median. Only requires 3 changes, and concern about troll ratings solved/minimized. |
EphemeralEternity
11.07.24 | ratings are meaningless anyway |
Bedex
11.07.24 | "Only requires 3 changes"
I wish 3 was a small number of changes around these parts |
arthropod
11.07.24 | Alts, there are 2 impostors among us.
Jokes aside, who and when created the rule? |
Anthracks
11.08.24 | The fact that this is a rule is so stupid honestly |
ToSmokMuzyki
11.08.24 | its pretty funny when an album only has 2 ratings of 5 and you cant -2 so you 2 it and then u can 1.5 tho |
rockarollacola
11.08.24 | if i could rate Ten by Pearl Jam a 1 I would be so happy |
Cygnatti
11.08.24 | I say yes but then I remember that I can consider this an integral sput quirk and go back to no. |
Spec
11.08.24 | Can we fucking allow new users to make accounts??? Like wtf is the holdup??? |

11.08.24 | mx is a deadbeat dad. you'll get a beating and you'll like it. |

11.08.24 | Holy shit, no one can make an account any more?! |
AsleepInTheBack
11.08.24 | Nope
Sucks |
foxblood
11.08.24 | I don't like that this rule gatekeeps an album from being rated low ever, like the consensus is set in stone and no dissenting opinions are accepted. I wouldn't 1 In the Aeroplane Over the Sea but it should be an option. I used to have it at a 5 and now it's a 3 for me, but if it started as a 3 for me and dropped 2 points like that I wouldn't be able to because of the consensus..odd. Regardless the site is too broken for this to matter at all |
markjamie
11.08.24 | Definitely the most stupid rule on Sput, but at least this thread has taught me the rule kicks in based on a statistical average, not just some arbitrary judgement from someone with power. |
platttt
11.10.24 | when did the cutoff for new accounts happen? i've tried to get a couple of friends to join but they haven't been able. i think i made my account in 2022 |
GhandhiLion
11.10.24 | Yes |
arthropod
11.12.24 | @platttt I was told the cutoff happened at the beginning of 2023. |
ToSmokMuzyki
11.12.24 | BY THE AUTHORITY INVESTED IN ME I HEREBY DECLARE THE 4.4 RULE TO BE MOOOOOOOOOOOOT!! |
