This blog will be edited frequently. I want lots of input. Any comments you leave about rules you know will be added to the blog.
Light Side
Everyone is rated "11" if you have them. A "10" if you don't. In your head you can say 2 or 7 but your fingers must always go to 10 or 11. Try to rate back everyone who rated you. We are here to help each other out. :)
Dark Side
Start rating people what they really are and you most likely will be blocked a lot.
If you view it. rate it
*if you wander onto someones page by accident. Go ahead and at least rate their profile. You don't have to ask for friendship.*
INPUT FROM FERLISHIOUS:
Viewing (even if on accident) without rating makes you look fishy! If you're still a level 8 or so, people may assume you haven't figured out how to rate, but anything 15 or higher just makes it look like you're snooping which no one likes. View me without rating me? Don't be shocked when you're blocked.
If you shout it, rate it
ESPECIALLY if you're asking a favor. "vote on this MuMM" or "rate this contest pic" is going to be better received if it's after a page rate. You scratch their back if you want them to scratch yours.
Shouting without rating gives it away that you're simply hovering online members and pasting the same BS to anyone who's settings allow you to shout them.
PROPER FRIEND REQUEST
Light Side
You must rate them, then you must fan them, then you can send a friend request.
FRIEND REQUESTS: You should include some kind of hello in your request. Plus be sure you read the profile before sending the request. Maybe that person doesn't accept friendship from people without a salute. Or they have been here long enough to be selective.
It's only proper that when you accept a friend request that you go back and fan and rate the person also.
Dark Side
You get rated, fanned, liked...etc... Then you go visit the person's page and they are set to private.
THE LIKE SYSTEM
Light side
To earn extra points people will use the like button. Good for you and them. If you do the like thing go ahead and like them back out of courtesy or at least go rate them.
Dark side
Just because someone hit your like button DOESN'T MEAN THEY LIKE YOU! Get over it.
ADMIRE GAME
Light Side
I have found that doing the admire game is usually done out of boredom or in search of random friends. A nice opportunity to meet people.
Dark Side
This is my evilness slipping through...The way you get matches may not be the way you think. When I have some admirers I sometimes start picking ones that I don't want to match with. Sometimes it hits. Doesn't mean I don't appreciate it...When I do that and don't get a match and there are some left that look interesting I do buy the extra guesses.
Other times I pick the ones I like. It is just a game. A way to meet people...you play it how you want.
POLISHING BLING
Light Side
It's all good. Great way to make points. Usually make more points then rating pics.
Dark Side
Most people don't want you to polish unless you go through the whole FRIEND REQUEST PROCESS.
THE RATING/RANKING GAME
Dark Side
Who are the top people? Either they have been here a long time, know how to get gifts out of people, or they spend the money themselves to get there.
Light Side
Anyone can rank if you are truly dedicated. It's easier during the week then on weekends. I think you have to rank at least twice in a week for a weekly rank. You will be low though. Now with boomerangs it's hard but not impossible.
