Rating System

important info.
thanks ADMIN

Lol Venoms: it seems that you did not know anything at all.... :-D

Yes: it's an interactive system. But it should better to say: it should be an interactive system... I mean:
I'm here at SA from January but i have visisited it all (and i repeat: all) the days and i have noticed that a very few uploaders rate the comments.
The saddest thing is that even the highest admins, (when they are uploaders as well), don't rate anything and anybody (except in rare cases). It should be nice if they set the good example.
Thanks to you (mr. index), thanks to SA (a good site) and thanks to all the downloaders: points and rating apart, the real interactive system consists in the simultaneous presence of good uploaders (and therefore posts) and effective downloaders, and topped by a wise administration !

DoUtDes, you're right. Rating system has long existed, but at last i see an excellent explanation how to use it, for those who do not know. Thank you iNDEx.

Thanks axim !
And as i'm here again (in this paige), i would propose to mr index the possibility to denied some people (spammers and ..... T**ds) the choice to rate anything at all. (I write it but .... the idea is not mine : it's patented by mr axim -- honour to axim)
Thanks mr index.

Thanks so much for these useful information.

hi all,
It would be nice if all poster upload their share by really compressed them in WinRAR, not just by storing method in WinRAR. This is an excample:

I know you like that method - but it depends on the uploader and there situation - It would be nice - I dont know maybe they can conform to that style - makes sence :)

@Fudge, thx bro for your opinion :)
Internet connection in my country is still something luxurious, once I can only d/l with 10 - 20 KB/s, now with 20 - 40 KB/s, so dowloading big files is a pain.... and after d/l them, in fact the file size can be reduce more...
Anyway this is great web sharing that I have ever found, thx to SA

your rating just went up - So its not all bad news :)

I give every one points where deserved - In return I get nothing :(

But latley I have being geting some points refering to rating points and thankyou - I have enough power points to sink a ship :D - but thats great for every one else except poor old fudge who gives and gives and gets nothing back in return - So I will sit back and only give points to the best of the best from now on - unless you on my freinds list or updated my ratings then I give the best of the best points :D

U are right! It isn't fair! -- It's pretty sad only giving and never getting (or earning or gaining or receiving) -- Mhhh... i give u some points so u can't say: hey where's my point -- no one gives me a point.... :-D!!

I give you a point :)

good night every one some one has to sleep - me :D

thanks for this useful information.

tanks for the info

Thanks iNDEx =]

When I rate an article, I lose 0.2 Power (but it gives 2 to the article). Is this normal?

Yes. Admin decides the rules. Rules may change during the time. Presently they are:
If u have up to 99.99 power, u worth 1 point
between 100 and 299.99, u worth 2 points
between 300 and 499.99, u worth 3 points
≥500, u worth 4 points
Ps.1 Sometimes, for technical sistem delay (in other words: system's bug), you could give more points: even 25 or 33 or 47 ecc. -- is not normal but... it happens... it's so nice... :-)

Ps.2 The more power u have, the more points (better say: fraction of point) u can give (or take off) to other commentators.

i want the system bug back :D

thanks ADMIN

what really hurts people is taking away there rating points and there hard to earn I think this has to be looked at and should not be available to missuse - If I dont like some one I can place there rating below 0 it is fun :D but not fair

HELP ME BOOST MY RATING , I WANT TO MAKE BLOG PLEASE

Done for you Mr rating now 5.09

thanks admin

Good explanation! But in very rare cases uploader rate comments. If you add a rule that the uploader must gave some ratings at least first 5/10 commentators or must pay some head to comments it would be a great thing. In this way authors would pay more attention to data they have posted and a link will be created between author and blog visitor. It applies more effectiveness to SA.

Thanks Admin,
HELP ME BOOST MY RATING , I WANT TO MAKE BLOG PLEASE, i have many ups for french people and others
thanks in advance

The comment I will rate will have to impart something that is useful and informative! Other-wise, NaDa. I like to learn something from others. So if you are wise, witty or have an insight that other people do not have, then post it. Otherwise please refrain. I like a good laugh as well as the next man. :) Thank you for your attention.

Thank You very Much for the tutorial, Everything makes since now..Semper-Fi !!

Sometimes i´m tired to come three times to sites, they ask me again and again to be a new member, a power user, to pay for a special membership . . . and so on. I only get files one or two times in a month and have really no time and no reason for one file to open three memberships a week. I like to stay on a site not on 30 sites. What is happen with our friends from babe3.org ? a couple of days i´m shocked - site is down :( . . . happy weekend from germany !

I think your refering to another site because there is no power user option here - you can make a donation and get better benifits like power points and removel of adds - a free user has all the rights as does some one who makes donations - and in no way does softarchive ask you to pay to become a member - and you are a member - so did they ask you to pay helifan ? I think NOT

I don't think helifan was complaining about this site:
1) helifan said "sites" so I think the reference was a general one - not about a specific site, especially not this one
2) helifan sent pleasant greetings - not typical or logical to complain then be nice
3) helifan was, I believe, trying to share pleasantly and even compliment this site for not being like others even though helifan did not say that directly
I admit I could be totally wrong, but I try to pay attention to detail and assume the best of others. That is not to say you are bad or did anything wrong, fudge; I thought you maybe just didn't notice it said "sites" or thought about it this way. Have a nice day.

I am wrong all the time - nothing new ;)

useful info, thanks admin

The Rating System is confusing for new members. Once they understand how it works they will feel better.
The Interactive system though new is very interesting. The more we use the more benefit we get.
Thanks.

This is very important info, about gaining power and rating.

Thank you.

appreciate the efforts

And how about the abuse of mods ?
I've got my rating set to negative by The Hunter.
Just for giving a comment ????

thanks

nice information

You are right Jebo65. Same thing happened to me, not even for bad comment.

Still confused, but then - I'm old

I members since 2009 but I just read this information. Nice Info

But the sad truth is that the members (not uploaders) comments are rated by the uploaders that's why my rating is still 0.00 !

Thats not true - I am just a member and just uploaded your rating :)

you have to click on some ones name and that takes you to there home page (blog) where you can update there rating - Lot of people think clicking on the plus and minus arrows next to the comments gives them ratings I dont think it does it only gives them power points

Thanks for the info. Peace

i should have find it sooner

thanks ... it`s brilliant site ...
really i am not joking ... it`s really good

hey frd plxxx send me me link free download pron i have no Money....... :(:(

I have no money either and get free pron on here - you are a member and a smart ass one to who magicaly knows how to spell pron and not porn and pretends to be a noob shame on you

the Chineses will dominate the world, Ahahahaha. thank you

In my opinion we are commenting on the articles. posts and say thank you to the uploaders. but i think that the uploader are busy and don't have time to reply or push the +.
Even Our members are also not interactive as per desire , requirements of the admins. there is bilateral deficiencies. we should admit our mistakes and care for both side.....
Give and take method will balance all things...
One side traffic is not good one...
Appreciation for two side traffic and only possible be interactive mechanism defined by SA teams Admins...
Follow the rules strictly and all members will get benefit...
Always care other.... and other will cares you....
Keep sharing,,,, Keep downloading,,,,Keep commenting.... Keep interaction....Be Positive all the time....
Thanks to you for reading my comments and given your precious time...

Thats not true either as the above post by ratheeshrath

when they are online they do post and give points - Like all of us they have to sleep and some post so many articles they lose track - and cant respond to them all but they are all good uploaders and do respond when they can - Bad uploaders that are assholes dont last long

thank you

Thanks for all this info folks. One thing I am really unsure of is either when we click the "Say Thanks" or make a comment, we do receive 1 rating point. But.... what is the real purpose of having those 2 features if they do exactly the same thing? Only thing I can think of is if a user may not have much time to actually type in a "Thanks" comment. Anyways, I myself, I always click the "Say Thanks" for any topic that I have downloaded. I saw someone say something about "The Hunter" which I am assuming he/she is a Mod here. This I didn't know, but I do like many of his/her postings. I have 0.00 Ratings and very low Power but hope that doesn't make me look like some leecher/freeloader of some sort because I do thank every post that I like.

thanks for information

If we downloaders and post commenters need power in order to rate posts and other people. Mainly, we get this power form uploaders in theit posts. So, all in all, it's a give-and-take sytem, wich DOES NOT work properly unless we are given power to use it.

Message to uploaders: Do you want people to give good ratings in your posts? GIVE THEM positive ratings in exchange when they do, so they will be able to continue doing the same... Simple.

Sharing files is not an easy task. It takes, among other things, a lot of time and energy. While most of us members only take and never give (probably because we have nothing new to share) it is always nice to thank the uploaders as a token of appreciation for all their efforts.
I have come across websites in which the uploaders are actually begging people to thank them...not nice. The system here in SA is a well-thought and brilliant way to remind everyone that gratitude and appreciation are crucial to developing a working relationship among people who do not even know each other but have things in common and have gathered from around the world in a website where they can all communicate in friendship and peace.
Thank you SA Team.

soriechtig hab ich das hier noch nicht kapiert lerne noch

i m a new member but i already like softarchive

East or west softarchive is the best.

Thanks for the explanation. I've been here a while, always say thanks for anything I download, but never understood the power/rating system.
Now I do, Cheers.

Thanks, good to know how this works and mainly the purppose of it.

Thank you for good information

Thank you very much for information.
My English is not to good, so I think
I clicked on the links (it used to be Advertise link)
may help the uploader or SA team.
Because, I heard that if someone clicked
the Advertise Link on the web page and
the owner get some money.
Which I always do that and just notice that
my rate is "0". If I misunderstood about this
I apologized for that. Please forgive and forget.

For example of this page,
When I finished reading,
I clicked on "Say Thank You" and clicked on these 5 links.
"They Lost The Power Of Speech After Discovering This Snake.
Even the Toughest Fans Can't Watch It Till The End.
And The Selena Fans Went Crazy!
Risque Emma Watson Pics Leaked.
10 Most fearsome Tings In The World."

Between click the "Link"
and just say "Thanks You.....bla......bla........"
Which one is better?

If you become a member you get less adds if you make a donation you get no advertising it is sweet just $5 will get rid of them adds - Fudge are you a salesman for this site? I realy arnt I just love the site and want to keep it going so I make donations - the missing adds you guys see that are missing on my screen is a bonus - Give me $5 and I will pass it on ;)

thank you, I am newbie for rating and power system

I am stupid, if I make a comment I win some power, let's see

see you win from being so stupid you get 4 points

Oh come on Dizert, Your no more stupid then nopub is.

Thank You Very Much for the informative article. I appreciate the time and effort put forth to author this very important subject! (I type with 1 finger! lol, Sad but true!) Thank you SA Team.

Thanks a lot! :)

now it makes sense.... lol thanks the system was a little confusing... as i didnt read the whole thing last time...
