I dont know if this has been explored before, but changing ratings... 

sometimes my opinion of a game changes after i play it for a while.  Or I feel i should have given it a higher rating because I underestimated how much I would end up playing it.  Then I wish I could go back and teak the rating and I cant. 

I know with giving points out for ratings its tricky, but i do wish we could edit the orange slidebar. 

Just a thought, now other peoples, sound off on it!

Well I know an easy way to fix your problem so this idea wouldn't really be needed. I just think you should play a game very throughly and for at least a good amount of time so you can get a good understanding of the game. Then after you're done playing, you rate the game based on how you feel and what you just have played. That's what I do and I've never regreted changing a rating. Well, only when I click a wrong rating on accident, but other than that I don't think that it's a very useful idea.

i just finished achillies,  i stated playing it periodically before i even became a site member.  id never rate anything if i planned on returning to it after a few months because i wouldnt be back more often than not.

wow this is really true i tried giving a game a 10 but then my computer was acting up and i was trying to click it bakc but on accident i clicked and gave the game a 0...now i feel bad that i cant change it

I feel that after I play a game multiple times, I want to change the rating. The game gets better or worse after playing a couple times.

Yea the rating determines the popularity of the game and if i rate wrong its not right

Yeaah,that would be nice if you can change your ratings.

yea ive done this many times before. Maybe you could rate once get the AP but you could change you rating. but it would only count half as much to the overall rating. this is so a band of ppl dont change there rating to a 0 just to make a game maker feel bad.
