Questions about Voting System

Technical Details

I've got a question about how your rating system works and is tracked. Upon viewing my site I see that the rating is 2 stars with 26 votes. Now my concern comes with two other sites that are on your system. These two games and mine share a player base, however, the other two games for various reasons, have had a decline in players over the last several years. My game came out recently (We publicly opened on Feb 6th) and I have a feeling that the Forum Directors from these two other sites have gone through and given intentionally poor ratings out of spite.

My question is, am I just going to have to suck it up and not worry about the fact that they could make it appear like my game is lacking simply to prevent outside players from taking interest?

I believe Effie will have to refresh my memory, but to my recollection de-ranking another's site is against the rules. If someone is voting you down daily (And I don't know why anyone would find a reason to vote you down every day even if your site was the scum of the earth there's no reason to give it 26 Bad votes). So Effie will have to elaborate about that, but if they're unique hits and the consesus is "Wow, this ain't so great" then you're doing something wrong (Not saying that you have, just hypothetically speaking).

Someone has been rating you down consistently. That person has been blocked from voting. I don't adjust back scores (system won't allow it), but you should have better luck now.

I knew something was fishy with that. It's a crazy world isn't it?

Yeah, and everyone has at least One enemy,right?
