what about this?

[Vexorian]

let's say you need X submissions in a section to be able to rate stuff there

Why? its useless because then even fewer vote...

I am actually geting mad at somebody that keeps rating my things with 1.

What about making it so you need to comment to rate, and the rating shows in the comment

Is it the same person rating all your stuff a 1? Did you piss somebody off or something?

I don't know, could be some known spammer from bnet forums, that hates me for being so smart

How about everything submitted has a score out of 100, and if it gets to 0 it's deleted from the server. This will not only get rid of crappy icons, but also free up server space. (add 0 to the ranking system)

Each person here has experience points. Submitting an icon/skin/etc. gives you experience. You can also get experience by voting. The more experience you have, the more your vote is worth (ie: 200 exp has less of an impact on the score than someone with 2000 exp).
To make sure people don't abuse this, you can make sure each vote is worth 2 experience, with a total of 10 exp/day.

Examples of this system:
Icon A is submitted, with an initial score of 50/100 (average). I vote 5 on it, with experience of 1000. Because of this, the icon's score gets raised to roughly 60/100. I get 2 experience for voting. I vote on four more icons, and then I no longer gain any experience for the day.
Alternatively, I vote 0 on it, with experience of 1000, and as do other people. The icon's score will get lower and lower to 0, until it reaches 0 and is deleted.


Just a suggestion.

a vote of 1 star really dose nothing in the big pic, if you get 5 votes and 4 are 5 stars and 1 is a 1 star, then your score will be like 4.73 and that is good enough for #1 anyhow, But my whole point was just that it really doesn't matter what one person votes, if your spell or map or skin, so forth are good enough people will be fair.

What if only one person voted? it shows 1 because nobody cares on voting well for a spell even if they liked it.

Your point seems to be like mine was before, Remove the worthless rating system now
