The hate judge strikes again. This time he shows mercy with a 'B'. A truly awesome match!

[Shoggoth breeder]

"The Hate Judge" would be an excellent supername/movie title with "The Hate Judge Strikes Again" being the sequel/ comic series.

[DamagingRob]

I'm going to find you, "hate judge." And when I do, I'm going to kick you in the nuts- shake you really hard.

[LoneWolf]

I think the Hate Judge might not realize that the 'B' grade he gave is only equivalent to an 'It's OK' using the old system.

[sirmethos]

It doesn't matter what the equivalent in the old system would be, we're not using the old system anymore.

[DamagingRob]

Possible. But take a look at this match. Scratched with 2 Ds and a C. It may not be a fantastic set-up, but my first match (which consisted of this:

It would be a good old fashioned shootout with neither opponent giving an inch. But Wolfwood would lose because that huge gun would slow him down.

) received a 1.5. .2 higher than a guy's first one.

[LoneWolf]

Wow that 1.3 was harsh for that match, which wasn't bad at all. For some reason, I can't currently grade matches either, I was kind of doing a fair share of grading as well.

I had a thread about this a few months back where I gave examples of specific set-ups and what I thought was a fair rating.

I'm sure someone is going to jump in with "well, not everyone agrees with you!" Still, if someone put enough effort to write 5 or so paragraphs with out any major spelling errors, cursing, offensive content and genuinely tried to make a decent match, that match should rate a 'B' at least. C for 1-2 paragraphs or a lot of errors, ....

D's and F's are for people who put NO effort into their set-up. Or simply wrote a childish mess of swearing.

It doesn't matter what the equivalent in the old system would be, we're not using the old system anymore.

First post was in response to Lonewolf. How is it any different from the old system? The highest grade still gives a 4. The next grade gives a 3. The only difference between this new system and the old one, is we have that in between option, for just passable set-ups, in the C grade. And for some reason, an even lower rating than a 1, in the F.

I think some of the judges may not be aware of what score they're giving with every grade, or we wouldn't be seeing decent set-ups getting scratched.

[DamagingRob]

If this, um, "Hate Bad" judge is one of the people I think it might be, it's gonna be virtually impossible to get a good grade out of him/her.

Skillz? Also, as I asked in the Judge section, wasn't Lonewolf a judge? Who removed him?

I *really* doubt the hate judge is DSkills.

As for my status, I think it was revoked accidentally.

Yeah, that's your opinion. A lot of people, myself included, might think your method of grading is retarded. I personally don't give a damn about cursing or offensive content or effort or length.

[DamagingRob]

Lol. No. I meant was I talking to DSkillz. I don't think he's the one giving out negative grades.

[LoneWolf]

Alright....so the natural question to ask is do you actually have a criteria for grading? Or is it completely random?

I didn't think anything I stated was 'retarded', it seemed very logical and reasonable actually.

[force_echo]

When I do grade, I grade purely based on if I liked it or not. I don't care if it's 2 sentences or 2 pages, if I like it, I give it a good grade. I don't care if the person put all the effort in the world in it, if I don't like it, I give it a bad grade. I also don't care about offensive subject matter or swearing.

[DamagingRob]

If this, um, "Hate Bad" judge is one of the people I think it might be, it's gonna be virtually impossible to get a good grade out of him/her.

Wait a minute... Could that be a clue?

[treacherous]

Hmm, I wonder if I can figure out who the "hate" judge is? I can figure out a lot of stuff. Just gotta find the freaking time.
