Give your rate to the problems

[Zuril]

To improve the overall quality of the problems give your rate (1 to 5 star) to the puzzles you attempt so I can disable those with low rating as soon as I've enough feedback.

Thank you, Zuril

In a related question, what is the method that you use to determine the ELO rating for each position?

The Glicko rating system:

Perhaps you misunderstood the question, for instance, how do you determine that Checkmate Problem 664 has an ELO rating of 2085?

Hi,

I voluntarily dropped my rating to 1200 by skipping lot's of ELO puzzles. Now I'm presented with much easier puzzles and I've noticed that almost none of them are rated, because you have to have an ELO of over 1600 before you can rate. That way, simple problems will never be rated, because players can't rate them and thus, never be considered for deletion.

Suggestion: Instead of using a fixed threshold of 1600 ELO points before you can rate, you could use a dynamic system. For example, if a player's ELO rating exceeds the puzzles rating by over 200 points, the player can rate

Regards,

Anyone who 'sandbags' their rating should also not be allowed to rate. Besides, problems are not deleted based on their rating, and if there is an actual problem with a puzzle, it can be reported via the Comments, Wall or Forum.
