XunAmarox Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I don't know about everyone else, but it really doesn't take me 3 hours to download and try something out, especially when it's something that doesn't require a ton of testing. Having to wait 3 hours (if I'm even around that long) is just a hassle. I (and likely many) usually just end up forgetting. I understand the desire to make it so people won't just give endorsements from the screenshots without testing, but honestly I'd rather have that than punishing everyone for it. Anyways, there's my suggestion. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcl Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I am of your opinion XunAmarox,that should be changed to one hour maximumthen the people don't forget it "maybe" ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AncientSpaceAeon Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 One hour seems nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHammonds Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 FYI - You eventually get a pop-up "reminder" showing which files you have downloaded that have not been rated. So forgetting should not be a problem. ;) If you can see the "View your download history" link in the Member Area, this will also show you the mods you've downloaded and whether or not you've voted on them.

Dark0ne Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 And the time you have left until you can rate a file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XunAmarox Posted November 24, 2009 Author Share Posted November 24, 2009 Well, that's useful... assuming anyone ever finds it. I definitely didn't know that feature existed. I'm still of the opinion that it should be 30m-1h max... ideally removed completely. It just... isn't very friendly. And is there any way to view more than my last 10 posts? Cause... normally that's how I see if something I posted has gotten replied to, but I can't view all my posts anywhere that I can find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pronam Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Well, that's useful... assuming anyone ever finds it. I definitely didn't know that feature existed.It's called Download/Rating History :).. Although maybe it could be noted at the message when it isn't ready to vote yet? That you can find it there..Maybe with a link to it? That could be a solution...As recently it'll also show how long it'll take until you can vote..:) I'm still of the opinion that it should be 30m-1h max... ideally removed completely. It just... isn't very friendly.I couldn't agree. Without it the value of the voting would dramatically decrease. What use is there to immediate voting? That means you can vote before you could have tested the mod in the first place. The 3 hours in place so that you'll have a sufficient time to check out the mod, or to think about your vote in general. It's the best of worst. Although some mods have their results shown in a minute..Other require some time before you know they are good or are missing something. :)..

Netwit2008 Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I've got to agree with Pronam. The three hour rule has frustrated me before, but I still see it as necessary to allow enough time to adequately test the mod. On the other side of the coin, that rule can also prevent someone from prematurely giving a mod a poor rating when they need more time to test it, learn how to use it, ask for help, get clarification, et. al. It's one of those necessary evils, lol Sometimes a pain, but ultimately can be a good thing and/or prevent a bad rating from being given. If you look at your page any time you are browsing mod files you'll see this first column on the right hand side of the page: Site■News■News Archive■About Us■Site history■RSS Feeds■Contact■StaffFiles■Index■Browse categories■Updates today■Updates recently■Latest files■Top 100■Advanced search■Tag search■Files of the month■Add new file■Manage your files■Tracking centre■Download/rating historyImage Share■View images■Top images■Add images■Manage imagesArticles■Article database■Post an article■Manage articlesCommunity■Forums■Logout■Register■Top membersMembers■Edit profile■Member area■Preferences■Logout (in green and underlined here, although they are gold on the page itself-) At entry #19 if you count down the list of topics above, you'll see "Tracking centre." Clicking on that will take you to a page that allows you to "manage favourite files," ones you've marked you'd like to keep an eye on, or manage mod authors or members you've marked as favorites. You can remove items from the list you no longer want to track or keep an eye on. Under that you see "Download/rating history." This is where you'll find all the files you have downloaded for the month and whether or not you've rated them. To my knowledge (which is spotty, lol) you can't remove files from here. But this does let you know how long you have before you can rate something you've recently downloaded. If you are a premium member you'll see your entire file download/rating history. Checking out/clicking on any of the selections in those two columns on the right side of your mod browsing pages will help you explore the site more and find things you may not know you have access to. Plus you can see recent site updates and find links to the latest news about the site and other interesting things. If I've explained anything incorrectly, some of the more senior members feel free to clarify :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
