Im curious how many ratings are needed for stars to appear .

Yeah I don't leave comments that often think ill go comment on a couple of them that ive played

Hmmm, yeah, comments, stars and rating would be very helpful. Thing is, there are so many maps out there in such a short span of time that I haven't been able to play them all (or give them a comment or two)

So, after getting curious, I googled it.

Turns out, you need a certain amount of up votes for a star, and here things get... hazy.

Some says you need a % of total votes (between up and down), some says you need 10. Some 20. Some 50...
Some even says that the star system is unfair until you hit about 100 people...

The only certain thing is that views and subscriptions have no influence on rating/stars.

The comments help a lot, as they will raise the standard by letting ppl know good missions and feed back to the ppl who make them to not leave scrappy missions in the workshop - several authors have appreciated the feedback and improved their missions after only a single comment - 2nd or 3rd versions have always been much better to play.

Star ratings attract people to play them and comment, but there is nothing there before...

I've been posting my end scores for the author to see - sometimes them seeing that it only took 25s to finish their mission prompts them to make it more difficult :P

(i don't think a lot of people use shadow creation, as this gets me through a lot of missions very quickly and easily)

Shadow Creation OP XD

Well was thinking how you think screenshotting results and leaving in comments when clearing a level.

Hmmm... what about a... weekly feature? No idea how a map/author could be picked, though. Or how to highlight a topic like that without having it disappear under eventual mass topics that might be opened after people realize they can use them to advertise their maps.

Maybe a sticky?

But again, who will take upon themselves to chose which map/author to feature for the week/month? Only one? More than one?

patyos, I'm looking at you here. You seem to take this at heart since you're trying to leave comments to as many maps as you can. Any thoughts on this?

Sadly, no idea what you're talking about as I never played that game.

Pretty much. Looks like people are having fun with the editor, and the number will only grow. My only wish is that more people could give a comment or a rating.
