About Rating

[not2shaby]

I realized that I had more votes on my Boston Red Sox dynasty I am no longer active with. Though I spelled many team names wrong in the standings, and had a lapse of mind in most articles while writing so fast, I do have a complaint that i'll turn into what I hope is for the better.

With so many spelling errors, I wouldn't have rated myself more than a 7. That's a guarantee. It's what I get for not going over my quick writing. As for the length of paragraphs, that bugged me.

Maybe most of you can hear me out when I say that nobody ever gets through a complete season, so nearly all dynastys in the MLB section are close to pointless. Why write a 8 paragrah game recap. Do you want to know who batted 4th in the 8th inning, and who was on base? I hope not.

My 3 paragraphs were down to the point, and I thought allowed readers to understand the game, and get on with their business. I got a rating from my friend Leak2Troupe, and he didn't notice my spelling mistakes obviously(couldn't have been to important in the standings table). He liked the idea that it was simple writing. I would say if someone such as leaks agrees with what I had done, that it might be a good way to run something.

Case and point. I dont wana read through dynastys and their ratings and see that people think their 3 or 4 paragrpahs are not enough. Your nitpicking at nothing. That's all.

*But spell everything right haha. Go over your work.

Agreed, while I do think the errors on the Standings table were a little careless, writing 8 paragraphs a game catches up to you. It is what happened to me, I played 18 games and I am so tired of writing that I will only use HTML to show what happened in my games. If I had to go back, I'd probably do write my game recaps game by game, not much writing but it'd accomplish more. Thanks for pointing this out N2S!

Hmmm, this is really a matter of opinion. Dynasties aren't pointless cause you can't get through a season, although that is preferred. Deep recaps deserve a higher rate than like 3 or 4 paragraph articles, period. It doesn't matter what the exception is, i believe. More work and quality work = higher rating. That's how I feel, but thank you for bringing this up. This can fall under any category not just the MLB. Main question your asking, "Is it better to go further with less depth, or to go deeper but slower?"

No this should be probably be limited to NHL, NBA, MLB. Those are the sports that people never finish. I think the standards for those should be based more on depth because people will never finish a season if they are having to write 10 paragraph writeups for each game. Football and NCAABB is different because finishing a season and writing long recaps is a lot easier.

Well your saying that if people can't make it through a season that gives them permission to write less and still get great rates.

I'm fully confident I'll finish at least a season with my Pacers, probably more. I will still write lengthy and in-depth stuff for every game. I'd rather not use that excuse.

I guess my opinion may be impartial because I am running two dynasties at once so doing less work maybe more appealing to me.
