I feel disillusioned
Someone gave me a low score on my corn fritters bringing my rank score of 5 down to 3.7 without leaving a comment as to why. Coward!!


RE: I feel disillusioned
I'm sorry this happened to you but, believe me, its happened to a lot of people here - myself included. That is one thing (among many things) that needs to be changed at this site (in my opinion). When you rate a recipe you should have to leave a comment as to why. Maybe someday.


RE: I feel disillusioned
Don't feel bad.............not many of us pay much attention to the ratings anyway...that's not what's important............sharing and making friends is what's important.

A little while back someone blew through the site and lowballed recipes of half a dozen people.....it was just ridiculous, but small things amuse small minds I guess.

Please don't let it bother you........


RE: I feel disillusioned
I hear you - it's frustrating to get a low rating and not know why. Although, to give them the benefit of the doubt, I've accidentally clicked a lower rating than I intended once before, and could not change it afterward. Perhaps it was just a mistake.

RE: I feel disillusioned
This may be a silly question but how low was the score? How can we tell how many points beside the average?


RE: I feel disillusioned
Simple arithmetic ! See how many fans the recipe got, (these are the guys who gave you 5). Then see how many ratings altogether. All the others gave you less than five

I went in and gave you a 5 and bumped it up a little.


RE: I feel disillusioned
I know how you feel. Some of my favorite recipes are the ones that do not have a 5 rating. It wouldn't bother me so much if they had at least tried it first. I thought the Corn Fritter recipe looked great!

Hello suzzles- ronnymarcus is somewhat incorrect in saying that fans of the recipe gave 5's. People who gave you a 4 rating also show up as fans of the recipe. Hope that helps.


RE: I feel disillusioned
GG is right on that... BUT... they show up a gwakers.... at least the most recent...
They got me a couple times... One even left a comment... Broke my heart.... JOKING!
Don't let it get to ya...


RE: I feel disillusioned
I really hope that is one of the things that they change here that when you rate a recipe you have to leave a reason for the rating.
