In particular, you get *no credit* for any ratings you give after you've given 5 ratings. The only way to get additional publicity at that point is to get karma for feedback--which is of course only possible if you actually leave feedback.\n\nSo if you want ratings, leave feedback! If you want more ratings, leave good feedback! I got 20 ratings after only rating 10 games and I was just idly playing through games by the people that commented on my game! You can easily rack up lots of karma just by leaving good feedback.\n\nSo hopefully that helps! :smile:","comments":1,"comments-timestamp":"2020-10-21T22:03:53Z","created":"2020-10-21T21:47:34Z","files":[],"files-timestamp":0,"id":231768,"love":7,"love-timestamp":"2020-10-22T18:37:48Z","meta":[],"modified":"2020-10-22T18:37:48Z","name":"PSA: Leave feedback if you want ratings!","node-timestamp":"2020-10-21T22:03:02Z","parent":213765,"parents":[1,5,9,212256,213765],"path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/47\/super-box-bots-package-push\/psa-leave-feedback-if-you-want-ratings","published":"2020-10-21T21:51:44Z","scope":"public","slug":"psa-leave-feedback-if-you-want-ratings","subsubtype":"","subtype":"","type":"post","version":707810},"node_metadata":{"n_key":"231768","n_urlkey":"368336","n_parent":"213765","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/47\/super-box-bots-package-push\/psa-leave-feedback-if-you-want-ratings","n_slug":"psa-leave-feedback-if-you-want-r","n_type":"post","n_subtype":"","n_subsubtype":"","n_author":"162497","n_created":"1603316854","n_modified":"1603391868","n_version":"707810","n_status":"WAYBACK"},"source_url":"https:\/\/ldjam.com\/events\/ludum-dare\/47\/super-box-bots-package-push\/psa-leave-feedback-if-you-want-ratings","text":"So I've seen several folks posting about games that haven't quite got enough ratings yet, and generally, their authors have actually rated quite a few games!
