How jealous can some people get?

I've ranted about this before (in groups, on my blog, even on AC itself), and things seemed better for awhile. But now, of course, the problem is back. The de-raters!

I understand there may not be much that AC themselves can do, but it still makes me bad. I just had my first article showcased and I was pretty happy about that. Three hours ago it had a 4.9 rating. I get home and guess where it is... 2.0!! That's just bull!

If people are so jealous that they don't have th ability to write a decent article, and that makes them feel resorting to grade school tactics is a good idea, then they don't belong on Associated Content. If anybody knows of a de-rater, out them! Let the whole community know who these untalented, immature children are so we can lynch them ourselves!

I hear ya Tweak. My article on smoking benefits did the same thing... repeatedly. And just for grins I counted how many clicks it take to move it point 1 (.1) in the rating. It took over 100 clicks on the star to do so... so someone sat there an awfully long time to get that down to the 3.2 it was at from a 4.9

Insanity. they need to fix that multiple-rate ability glitch NOW.

I've got the down-rater following me around making anonymous derogatory comments now. What a dweeb.

You know, the rating does nothing for comments, upfront payment, etc. So why make such a big deal out of it?

It's a matter of pride. When you do something to do it well, it's nice to know that you are doing it well.
