House Ratings! Any Suggestions?

[failure]

Hey guys and gals, we have some developers working on a house rating system as suggested by some of you, and I've been authorized to share a bit about it! We?re thinking about having the ratings shown on profiles too. There will be limits to how often you can rate, and you will be able to change your rating of another player's house after a period of time. There will also be a way to reset your house rating for a fee, similar to resetting spar scores.

Here?s a little sneak peek:

What do you think? Do you have any suggestions on how to move forward? What do y'all think the limits should be on ratings and resets? What other stuff do y'all want to see done with a house rating system?


P.S: Apologies for the funny looking second image, the file was too big and I'm not very good with cropping and all that stuff

Are there going to be rewards for the best houses?

If you want rewards for the best houses, what would you suggest? And how would you prevent people boosting their friends ratings and stuff like that?

I'll reply cause why not?

For the rewards maybe a small cash prize will do?

And for the boosting part I'll say:
- Maybe make friends unable to rate?

Only identified accounts with 150+ hours can rate. The prize would be gralats (cuz im broke)

Then they'll just unadd them most likely

To combat boosting I suggest the following:
-Only 300 hours+ can vote (Maybe identified too)
-A SMALL cash prize(100-200)/ one free furniture of your choice?
-Friends can vote only once/longer vote cooldown?

I would like to see this implemented

Alright, since the new house ratings will most likely come out soon. I will suggest the possibilities for the future of house ratings. Basically some ideas:

-Competitions
Annual/Monthly competitions between the best voted houses (10-30). The 1st to 3rd place will get a bigger cash prize from 3000-1000 and the rest will get a free furniture of their choice or a smaller cash prize. This will eliminate houses which have been boosted too.

-House awards
This can include most voted house, best festive house (according to festivals/seasons). These houses can get cash prizes of 3-5k/event coins? and a special recognition award eg a statue/trophy for the respective thing they won.

-Christmas
During Christmas, an admin will announce to the server that they will be visiting houses that are decorated for Christmas and give them a $500 present if it is.


Put the rest of your ideas for the continuation of the house ratings

+ besides the hours and the identification, if the account isn’t 1+ month old they can’t vote
