I go through and I see these script that have been done 100 times before, take up 10x the space of something I would make and never post.
I give them 1s or 2s and move on
Its great people are learning to script, but code that sucks and is useless doesnt deserve to get a 4 or a 5. I spend a very long time on snippets I upload. I make them for myself, then figure hell, why not post it. If it sucks, give it a 2.
I have posted bad scripts before, an looking back on it I know they should have gotten lower scores
You are one of the best scripters on here, Id hate to see you go.
This script is Very useful and deserves a 9.

I actually don't mind getting low scores. I think it's a refreshing change that a website has users who rate based on how useful they think the snippet is, rather than how well coded it is. Most communities use the latter method.
My snippet that reads audio information from files gets an 8.6 and my hotlink bans snippet gets a 6.5, while my snippet that plays audio streams only gets a 6. I think the stream playing snippet is by far the most useful but I respect and understand that not everyone shares my opinion.
Instead of getting angry about receiving low scores for an obviously well coded snippet, just accept that your snippet is being rated by users on how useful they think it is, rather than how well it is made, and judging by the amount of simple questions asked on the forum I'd say not many users on this website can even use your snippets! (Which would explain low ratings.)

Fiber i have to totally agree with you on just about everything you have stated but i for one dont grade very high on anything just because it has been done a hundred times just coded diffrently i understand your frustration though to get a low score on something you have done is degradeing and to some people it really punches then hard as it did you but for you to get mad or upset that to me isnt you if you want to get point across show everyone that comes just how you do it buy your codeing for mIRC and the others things you do take it to a how nother level and we will follow or atleast try to anyway you have some serious skill for mirc scriptting for sure i have learned alot from your code that you have posted here in the past couple weeks or so , so instead of saying good bye say this is the way scriptting should be innovate! and there are alot of others also i have seen here submitt things that are not to there normal level yonix russleB xDaemon tye hawkee tank59 and there are many others also i can list i by far am not even considered being remotly close to any of you guys when it comes to scriptting but i read and learn from you all it would be a shame for you to leave when you have so much to offer so on that note march on solider and lead everyone in to a whole new era of irc!

#twocents on
It's obviously your choice, but I and many others still want you here. Your contribution of code is phenominal and very useful. I agree, the rating system here is weak, but I don't think that the majority of people who matter look at that when examining a piece of code. It would be better to get rid of a rating system completely on snippets as far as I'm concerned. After all, they're here for peoples use, and learning. Not competition of who can make the best script. If you want your code ranked, submit it as an addon. After all, I think you'll get a low score from someone who doesn't like you, your coding style, or the code itself, anywhere you post. It's not like the other sites have a sign at the front page saying: "Only professional scripters allowed." The rating system just might be better at those sites. Hopefully you'll change your mind.

You don't understand.
It's not so much the fact that I got a 6, although it is far beneath what it is worth, no matter if I'm the author, I'm objective enough to know quality code when I see it.
My gripe is that I get a grade that is only just above some of the absolute garbage that gets posted here. I don't know about others, but for me, that is completely insulting. You know, my code actually works! Some of the snippets that got submitted here this week don't even work properly, or are suffering from design mistakes that shouldn't be there in the first place. That's why I was mad, I'm almost getting the same score as those people, and they can't even script!
The score of a snippet says something about the quality of the snippet, of the code, of its usefulness, on how much care the author used when creating the snippet. Do you know how much time I spent on writing the documentation for my snippets? Take a look at my $fileinfo snippet, writing the documentation for that took longer than writing the code.
Anyway, what bothers me the most is that people who don't have a clue about mIRC scripting have the ability to grade me with whatever score they want.
Unfortunately, I'm not the kind of person that can cope with something like that, I don't want just anyone grading my code, when I know I'm 10x better at scripting than the person grading me in the first place. I feel like a professor getting graded a D by a freshman student.
You may call that childish if you wish, but that's simply how I perceive things. I'm not going to beg people to give me a big score, so the only thing to prevent getting a low score is simply no longer submitting code.
I'm aware my reaction was a overly dramatic, but to be honest I was seriously pissed off, because that's the kind of person I am when things happen that I don't agree with. I'm aware that when you're pissed of, your not nearly as rational as you are in normal situations. So yes, I did overreact.
I'm keeping the rest of my snippets for sites where only qualified people may grade submissions, and where people appreciate good code.
I have nothing further to say.

To leave hawkee.com over a low score is childish. We all know your one of the best scripters around and that your coding is glorious. Don't freak over a couple of people who don't like this piece of code because they don't understand it.

I agree that this snippet does deserve (if the rating system was used properly) at least an 8 or 9. In respect to the way people use the rating system though, this snippet get less than a 10.
[rant]
I've seen some code, that really does nothing. Yet, its being scored like its the Best thing since Sliced Bread.
Personally though, I ignore the scores. Because there are so many people who can't code very well (not that Im the best) who score the snippets with no real basis to be submitting a score on it.
The snippet scores DO have little (Neat) (Useful) tags that would make you think you're only grading what it does. However, You should be grading the snippets on 1. Functionality 2. Coding 3. Error Checking. Being that to me, those are the 3 most important factors in a snippet.
And this is coming from someone who gets fairly high scores, even though my coding is generally sloppy.

Btw, giving this snippet a 6 is an insult to me.
The error checking alone for this snippet is more code than some of the stuff some people submit here, and it's 10x more innovative than something like a "random nick colorer" the snippet before this that got a 5. Preposterous.
Do you people think you can just come up with functionality like this as if it's nothing?
This is complete shoot, goodbye hawkee.com.

I agree with Tank. I havent seen anything that you've posted (here or at mircscripts.org) that isnt amazing.
