New Tab Ratings

Oh I trust you guys. You're way smarter on this stuff than I could ever dream of being. I'm just the F.N.G. around here. Just trying to offer any help I can.

But you guys clearly have seen it all already with the site. Well, er except for this nonsense.

Yes Sid, I got my ratings well & truly butchered. I don't think it was personal to me (well I hope not) but just an attack on all the submitted tabs. Everyone suffered. Thank you for your kind words,I appreciate it. I see my ratings have been restored bar my 2 most recent submissions. The Missing Persons “Walking In L.A.” has no rating at all & my Bangles tab is still showing a low rating.

Bassm99 – yes, unfortunately those responsible weren't picking and choosing whose tabs they were tanking. Pretty much every tab on the “New Bass Tabs” page took a hit.

Not everything apparently But the only real consequence that this thing will have is a better and more robust rating system. I feel satisfaction in knowing that the person who spammed bad ratings actually wasted his/her time, because we've since restored them, and even though I deprived myself of some sleep I've spent my time making the website better.

Honestly, personally, I don't see the point of rating a tab if you're not going to leave a comment explaining your rating as well – at least, if the rating you give is a low one. You're not helping the tabber or those who check out that tab if you don't bother to point out what's wrong about it. And yeah, while most folks here tend to tab fairly and objectively, there's always going to be some jerk-hole who rates a tab low out of spite. Thankfully, from what I've seen since I've been here, such jerk-holes are few and far between, which is one of the many things I like about this joint.

As for views, if you submit a tab, you can keep track of how many views it's received from your profile page.
