Sweet! Good work my man!
I'm still waiting on that elusive 60th (maybe even 50th) person.

well keep at it and perhaps in your area you could promote the site and the sport. unless some one has something against you and is intentionally voting negative towards you. i'd say don't worry about things. just have fun playing discgolf. the internet is a strange place lol. just go out have fun and write your reviews. everyone's entitled to their thoughts including you. just be happy that you have the option to say your thoughts in your reviews weather they are good or bad. take carewell (i think) my problem is that disc golf just isn't that big in the st. louis (63031 anyway, a few more courses past that radius) area. i tell whoever i chat with to check out the site, but theres just not that many people to meet (or that many who are serious enough/sober enough to remember to check out the site), and i dont get out to play as much as i'd like to.
i've quadrupled the courses i've ever played in the last 4 months alone (for a total of 14 ), but i'm gonna play 3 more here in the next 2 weeks hopefully, and finish everything within a ~50 mile radius of me, so we'll see how it goes....
Thanks. That 60th voter was what I was waiting on too.

We live to wait on the 60th bro!
That's exactly what happened. Your unhelpful to helpful ratio was too high. If your new reviews get some thumbs up you'll get your medal back and it doesn't have any effect on silver, etc. Part of the formula is that your unhelpful votes can't be more than 40% of the helpfuls. You're at around 51% or so.

[...]If my calculations are correct, I need 60 straight ups with 0 downs in order to get the bronze back!!! But I only need 29 ups to get a silver (provided I have 30 different voters.)
I like the minis.
I like the medal way more than the minis.
I like reviewing courses way more than having a medal, and my goal is to review all 80 of the courses I have played, currently I am at 63/80!!!
But...
I was once a Bronze TR, but now I am no more.
I have 121 ups, and 72 downs (I feel I write honest, informative reviews, although my style is to be more concise. I personally don't read long reviews often, as I prefer short ones.) So even though I have 121 ups, which is 49 more ups than downs, and my downs are only 37% of my total votes, I am no longer a TR because my downs are 59% of my ups. (If you leave a negative or even neutral review of a popular course, you are doomed, because it is really hard to make up those thumbs downs.)

I read some older posts on this thread forecasting this, but I guess it has not affected most of you- so I say to those who rarely get thumbs downs: Excellent Reviews!!!! and keep up the good work!!!!
Again, I like reviewing courses and I don't do it to receive a vote, and I don't shy away from lower ratings or negatives to avoid a thumbs down. I am not complaining (ok just a little), but I just really like messing with numbers and statistics.
(I also think it is funny there is "non-TR thread", I guess I will have to demote myself to that one...)
That's not really a good way to look at it. You might get some unhelpfuls from locals but anyone from outside of the area would certainly appreciate an honest review. For the most part, all the TRs have very good helpful to unhelpful ratios.i feel the same way about being doomed, i guess it is best not to review a course the way you want but the way people want to see it.
