I'm seeing a lot of posts around like "hey I only need three more ratings" from people who already have 25+ ratings and have rated <8 games themselves. Ludum Dare is not about advertising your game, it's a joint community where we all play each other's games. If you only rate a handful of games but keep spamming your games on the feed, other games who actually did their fair amount of ratings will not qualify.

The LD website judging system lives on you doing your part and rating other people's games and receiving ratings in return. If you want a good score and some nice ratings, you should play as many games as possible so those games can qualify too, instead of begging on the feed for ratings. You have 2 days and all you need to do is play 20 to qualify. If you really want ratings, rate 100, you will get 50-70 ratings back and in the process help lots of games to qualify. Please stop this selfish mindset that people should play your games without you playing other people's.
