Topic, Game "BLockoban"

It's impossible for me to rate those groups either. If I rate the designers that would obviously be biased (since designing is my primary activity in this game). I think that the admins do a brilliant job of getting levels accepted constantly (and OMG offers great constructive criticism--I say OMG here because he is the admin that usually gets to my BB levels first but Elizea gives good comments too). Obviously, although JP is too busy too be very active in this game anymore, he does a good job of updating the BB app and of course he did design this game. As far as the members and players, well without them this would be a dead game and the designers would get no feedback or satisfaction after designing a great level. Everyone has their own necessary niche.

Rating in this game is especially difficult because of the categories system. A kids level might be overly simple, but the creator may have intended this since it makes it more easy for less-skilled or younger players to solve. I usually rate a level based on a combination of my consideration of how clever or original it was and what its category seems to be. I don't rate levels that I cannot solve or come close to solving.
To close my opinion on this issue, I would say while both points of view stated by TM are valid, they emphasize why comments are needed for designers to both receive credit where it is due and to improve where they are lacking. Ratings are nice, but comments are what really define a level.
I also want to note that because of the category influence that I stated, it does seem as though it is much more difficult to create a 5/5 easy level than a 5/5 hard level (medium and kids levels really depend on design). I am sure that part of this is because it is more difficult to make a clever, original level that is easy than one that is hard, but it is still something that ought to be noted.
