i have great idea about the ratings. when people sign up, they should be asked their experience with klikikg/game making. like newbie, average, experienced, expert
so there maybe could be two ratings, their experience at game making, and their participation at DC

ahem.
i don't see the use of that. the rating is open to obvious bias, as in you are rating yourself, and some people may not know how good they are in relation to other people when they first sign up. and there's no scale for judgement either. what's a newbie vs what's average?
mm.. well, good points. em, oh i know! then you should just be asked weather you are nwebie or not. people must know if they're newbies (i.e he's just starting to use tgf, he doesn't know all the features, etc...) they dont need much comparison
about newbies saying they're experts, well, thats under their own risk, people will notice they're lieing, lying or whatever its written (i never learn that verb)

You could be asked how long you've used Klik products for, instead. E.g. under 1 year, 1-2 years, 2-4 years, 4 years+
That's based on fact, not opinion.
People could always lie about their skill and experience. Personally, I think it would be a good idea if people ONLY get DC points for submitting games that have > 7 on reviews and winning the competitions/GOTW.
However, if someone submitted a game that gets below 4 reviews, they actually lose DC points. Good idea, no? And it shouldn't be too hard to code.
Those Hot or Not ratings don't count, because some of the people who actually vote just do so just because they can. At least with reviews, a person is serious with them.

I say we start "The Fascist Click" which is like a secret society, members have to be invited to join and then the ratings can be judged by the admins individually.

Gives me the butterflies,
Gives me away,

I'm feeling outshined.
