When I play a game and I go to rate it and back to my profile or refresh the page, the game is not rated and I don't earn the points. What is happening?

Probably just a glitch of some sort. I wouldn't really worry about it much.

Okay... thanks for the help. I think this is just happening today, because my internet is working like crap, so it should be fixed by tomorrow.

There is a certain advertisement that takes away your ability to rate. It's some ranch advertisement. Every time it pops up I can't rate a game. See if it's a ranch advertisement, if it is, just go to your profile and go back to the game or exit the browser bring it back up and see if the advertisement changed.

Outstanding, if you could grab a screenshot, that would be really handy, thanks!

I also think it may be the length of comments. If you make comments like "Good." They will probable be counted as spam, and not earn points. but I've run into the Ranch advertisement also. Ill try to get a screen shot if I see it again.

I've been bugging cormyn with this problem for some time now and never thought of making a topic about it in the S&S... *facepalms*

Anyway... after reading the other posts, I made a screenshot of what I always see when I load the game 'Hobo 4', a game I just can't seem to get rated...

As you can see, the game loads fully, but it always has a malfunction/error message in place of the bottom advertisement under the game...

And as you can see... the rating box underneath is empty.
I can rate the game, but when I refresh the page, it's empty again.

Maybe that certain advertisement is the key to solving the problem then?

*fingers crossed* =)

Cormyn, I put the link to the picture on your profile. I didn't know which one you would read first,your comments or this forum post, so I'm telling you it on here too. (Feel free to delete this post after you see the comment on your page.)

I've had this problem on one game only, the newly released Gravity Guy.
When I rate it, it sticks, but when I come back to play again or just refresh it's gone.

But in my case I can't see of that advertisement Outstanding mentioned.
It just doesn't work.

Try maybe using ad-blocker to block the ad. That way, you'll know if it is just the ad or something else.


I already did that, so it's clearly not the ad in my case.
Same story as Outstanding without the ad.
