Советы владельцам сайтов

2017-03-02T03:47:30Z

Alex123w:

Чтобы не совершать ошибок, которые могут привести к низким оценкам вашего сайта, и избежать конфликтов на форуме, прочитайте эту статью.

== Не просите оценок через личные сообщения ==

Если вы владелец сайта и пришли просить для своего сайта оценку, ни в коем случае не просите оценок у случайных участников через личные сообщения. Для запроса оценки и обсуждения вашего сайта используйте только форум. Для этих целей существует ветка [https://www.mywot.com/ru/forum/5 site evaluations]. Суть ошибки заключается в том, что не каждый участник будет доволен, когда к нему в личные сообщения приходят просьбы оценить чей-то сайт. Такие участники могут расценить вашу просьбу как спам и дать сайту низкую оценку с очень неприятным для вас комментарием. В качестве исключения можно связаться только с теми участниками, которые ранее уже оценивали и комментировали ваш сайт. Для оповещения участников можно использовать функцию ответа на комментарий, находящуюся в оценочной карте вашего сайта. Также все участники, ранее оценившие ваш сайт, получат системное уведомление после того, как вы создадите запрос на оценку. Остальные пользователи, увидев ваш запрос на форуме, сами решат, интересно будет ли им посмотреть на ваш сайт и дать оценку.

== Не обменивайтесь оценками с другими владельцами ==

Не выпрашивайте оценки в соседних темах и не намекайте на взаимный обмен положительными оценками. Такие оценки ничего не решают по факту, а остальные участники перестанут реагировать на ваши просьбы. Доверие нельзя заработать путем мошенничества и читерства.

== Не предлагайте денег за оценку ==

Как и в предыдущем случае, купленные оценки не повлияют на репутацию. Предлагая деньги за оценку для сайта, вы рискуете получить ярлык мошенника и очень плохие оценки. Помните о том, что доверие можно только заработать, его нельзя купить.

== Не будьте навязчивыми ==

Если вы создали запрос на оценку в ветке Site evaluations, ни в коем случае не дублируйте свой запрос в других ветках форума. Тем самым вы избежите славы навязчивого спамера. Одной темы вполне достаточно для того, чтобы участники сообщества вас заметили. Если вы не получаете ответа в свою тему, то это не значит, что 'форум мертв' или вас игнорируют. Помимо вас оценку просят тысячи других владельцев. Активные участники форума стараются проверять и справедливо оценивать сайты, но следует заметить, что они являются добровольцами.

Они делают это только тогда, когда у них есть время и желание.

== Не требуйте заведомо положительную оценку ==

Никогда не давайте человеку установку на действие, которое он может выполнить сам. Люди самостоятельно принимают решение, какие оценки они могут поставить вашему сайту. Вы можете только попросить оценить и объяснить, почему ваш сайт заслуживает хорошей оценки. Требуя хорошую оценку, вы можете оттолкнуть от себя потенциальных оценщиков.

== Не грубите и не хамите ==

Если вам кажется, что на вас кто-то 'наезжает' или слишком требовательно относится к проблемам на вашем сайте, чрезмерно критикует, то не следует отвечать резко в стиле 'сам дурак' или 'на себя посмотри'. Это не выход из проблемной ситуации. Всегда оборачивайте ситуацию в свою пользу. Если кто-то нашел на вашем сайте проблему, уберите эмоции в самый дальний угол своего сознания и рассмотрите возможность решения данной проблемы или спокойно объясните, почему найденная проблема несущественна либо не является проблемой вовсе. Не кидайтесь на людей как цепной пес, это вас не красит, вы тем самым только отталкиваете от себя адекватных участников. В случае, когда вы сталкиваетесь с грубостью и хамством, лучше не отвечайте на такие сообщения, а пожалуйтесь модератору, описав причину проблемы. Для этого вы можете использовать ссылку 'Flag', находящуюся под сообщениями.

== Не прикидывайтесь обычным посетителем своего сайта ==

Хитростью и обманом доверие не заработать, особенно таким примитивным способом, как написание комментария к собственному сайту от лица обычного довольного посетителя. В комментариях указывается ваше имя, и оттуда же доступна ссылка на ваш профиль, где можно просмотреть вашу активность и все запросы на оценку. Любой участник может быстро раскрыть обман и поставить вам за это плохую оценку. Написание хвалебного отзыва о своем сайте с намеренным замалчиванием факта владения им выглядит нелепо и ставит вашу репутацию под удар.

== Не покупайте отзывы на биржах ==

Как и в случае с обменом оценками и подкупом участников, купленные на биржах отзывы не повлияют ни на что. Система обработки оценок автоматически определяет неестественное поведение и отсекает попытки накрутить репутацию. Помимо этого, существует очень много признаков по которым участники легко определяют купленные отзывы, некоторые из таких участников уличив обман, могут поставить вашему сайту плохую оценку и написать очень неприятный для вас комментарий.

== Не обвиняйте пользователей в неправильных оценках ==

Не стоит обвинять человека в неправильных оценках, каждый человек оценивает сайты по-своему, объективных и «правильных» оценок быть не может. Все мнения и оценки являются субъективными. Данные обвинения не помогут человеку изменить его мнение о сайте, но при этом может спровоцировать ссору из-за различных взглядов.

Mass rating tool

2016-05-05T20:55:01Z

Alex123w:

=Introduction=
The mass rating tool allows you to rate up to 100 sites at the same time, leaving each site the same rating and comment. This is useful when rating a large number of sites with the same owner, for example. You should always act '''responsibly''' when using the mass rating tool. Using it is a privilege, which will be taken away from users suspected of spamming or abuse.

The mass rating tool was [http://www.mywot.com/blog/98-mass-rating-tool-for-wot-power-users introduced] to the WOT Community back in September of 2008 and was originally offered to users who had obtained the Gold level or higher Platinum level [[Activity scores|activity score]]. Credit is given to WOT user ''Lordpake'' for the original suggestion of a mass submission tool.

==Availability==
On December 28, 2009 an [http://www.mywot.com/blog/216-mass-rating-tool-changes-to-platinum-users announcement] was made informing the WOT Community that access to the mass rating tool has changed to Platinum level users; while current Gold level members who already have access to the mass rating tool will retain that access. However, new Gold level members will have to reach Platinum level before they are awarded the privilege. This change came as a result of members abusing the use of the tool by rating published blacklists and host files without verifying the validity of the source and for not checking these list entries for accuracy. Sometimes innocent sites are mistakenly added to these lists, known as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_I_and_type_II_errors#Type_I_error false positive], or sites are added temporarily because they were [http://community.ca.com/blogs/securityadvisor/archive/2008/05/28/compromised-websites-a-real-danger-for-internet-users.aspx compromised], in neither case should these sites ''Reputation'' suffer long term effects within WOT from this misuse.

===Privileges===
The mass rating tool (MRT) is a ''privilege'' which may be awarded to members reaching [[Activity scores|Platinum activity level]], assuming that their rating history is not suspicious. If there is detection of misuse or abuse the MRT shall be removed from the abusing member, with no guarantee of reinstatement.

===Special considerations===
WOT Staff reserves the right to offer the mass rating tool to any member regardless of their current activity level. In many incidents, these members which are new to WOT have already established trust throughout the spam / scam fighting community.

==User profile location==
When a member has reached the Platinum level [[Activity scores|activity score]], they will notice in their User Profile a new menu tab labeled ''Mass rating''. Simply open [http://www.mywot.com/user/ your profile] and you can see if you have the mass rating tool available. The URL should be: <pre>https://www.mywot.com/user/00000/massrate</pre> where ''00000'' is your user ID number. 
 

==Mass Rating Tool Page Preview==
If you have access to the ''mass-rating tool'', this is what you will see when clicking on the menu tab in your WOT account profile. The components are discussed in detail following this thumbnail.
 
[[File:MassRatingTab_EN.png|302px|WOT Mass rating tool.]]

=Mass rating tool components=
# [[#Domain entry box|Domain entry box]]
# [[#Category selection|Category selection]]
# [[#Reputation rating|Reputation rating]]
# [[#Comment section|Comment section]]
# [[#Replacement option|Replacement option]]
# [[#Mass delete|Mass delete]]
# [[#Submit|Submit]]

==Domain entry box==
This is where you may place IP numbers or domain names that you are going to rate and comment as a group. The mass rating tool will rate up to one hundred entries per submission, however, you may place any amount of entries into the box and if over 100, you will receive a message stating the quantity of entries that remain for which you need to click the Submit button repeatedly until all are submitted. If you make an entry error, you will be informed with a "failed to rate: domain name" message. These information messages only display for a short time, so you will need to pay attention as you use the mass rating tool. The IP or domain entries may be placed in URL form, simple name comma separated value (CSV), or simple name linear.

Examples:
{| border="1" cellpadding="7" cellspacing="0"
|+'''URL - one per line'''
|-valign="top"
|width="500" height="75"|http://www.example.com/ http://127.0.0.1/ http://www.example.net/ http://192.168.1.1/ http://www.example.org/
|}

{| border="1" cellpadding="7" cellspacing="0"
|+'''Comma separated'''
|-valign="top"
|width="500" height="75"|example.com,127.0.0.1,example.net,192.168.1.1,example.org

{| border="1" cellpadding="7" cellspacing="0"
|+'''Linear - one per line''' (''most common'')
|-valign="top"
|width="500" height="75"|example.com 127.0.0.1 example.net 192.168.1.1 example.org
|}

<blockquote>Important! Currently the mass rating tool does not support possibility to rate [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internationalized_domain_name Internationalized Domain Names (IDN)], without prior conversion to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punycode Punycode].</blockquote>

==Category selection==
When mass rating domain entries, you ''must'' include a comment and select the category that best describes the comments you are making. This component displays a drop-down list of currently available comment categories to choose from. For more information, please refer to the [[Scorecard#Comments|Scorecard Comment]] article.

==Reputation rating==
All domain entries that are mass rated will be given the same [[Scorecard#Reputation_rating|reputation rating]] that you select in this section of the mass rating tool. It is exactly the same as making selections on either the [[Scorecard|Scorecard]] or within the Rating window.

==Comment section==
When mass rating websites, you are ''required'' to leave a comment. This is something that should be given careful consideration since all entries you chose to rate are going to be rated equally and given the same rating category. Your comments should be precise as to ''why'' these domains are being rated in a likewise manner. If you have a linkable source that can either verify or show justification for your ratings, it is preferred that you include it. Be descriptive and authoritative when entering your comments, as well as polite.

===Multiple comments===
The mass-rating tool allows up to three comment postings per scorecard per user, including sites marked as [[FAQ#Ratings_vs._comments|controversial]] which overrides the standard scorecard comment entry of only one posting per user. It is recommended to leave only one comment per rating per domain, however you may find that a domain you previously rated for spam and commented using the '''Spam''' category, you are now rating it as a Phishing domain and included the '''Phishing or other scams''' category, both comments will appear on the scorecard. Anyone who is caught misusing the mass-rating tool by trying to spam multiple comments will have their [http://www.mywot.com/forum/5839--controversial-rating?comment=29421#comment-29421 mass-rating privilege removed].

see also: [[Mass_rating_tool#Replacement_option|Replacement option]]

===Comment variable===
To enable your comments to be more precise or to appear more "personal" a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_%28programming%29 variable] has been introduced for use in the comment section. The implementation of this feature was [http://www.mywot.com/forum/5298-massrating-variable announced on the Forum] by ''Timo'' on 12 January, 2010. Credit for introducing template-style variables is given to G7W.
<pre>
!domain
</pre>
''!domain'' is simply replaced with each of the entries being rated that are listed in the [[Mass_rating_tool#Domain_entry box|domain entry box]], whether they are IP numbers, or domain names.

You can verify the desired output of the comments by reviewing your list of entries in your profile by clicking on the "My Ratings" tab or view them directly by visiting the domain's Scorecard.

[[Mass rate comment examples|More examples]] of using !domain in reference URL's

===Comment identifier===
With major [http://www.mywot.com/blog/339-improvements-in-the-wot-scorecard modifications] to the Scorecard, a new icon has been introduced, April 2011, to identify comments posted using the mass rating tool.

[[File:Massrate.gif]]

==Replacement option==
The mass rating tool allows you to rate a group of domains in a selected category and leave a comment. You can re-rate these domains and enter a different comment. By default if you have previously rated a domain your new comment replaces the previous one. If you tick the check mark box for this component, WOT will retain your previous comment and append your new one as well.

''note:''
This only works if the newly selected comment category is different from any previously recorded ratings. You cannot have two or more comments of the same category for the same domain.

example:
You rate 10 domains that are associated to each other in some way and which you have had a good customer experience with. You may wish to leave a "Good site" comment and then re-rate them to also leave a "Good customer experience" comment. If the check mark box is not checked, your "Good site" will be written over with the "Good customer experience" comment, ticking the check mark box will include both comments on each scorecard of the domains rated.

alternative example:
You have a small list of domains that have high reputations for Trustworthiness, Vendor Reliability, and Privacy, yet these domains contain content of a mature nature. You've rated these sites high, excluding the Child Safety reputation which you've lowered to unsatisfactory, poor, or very poor and left a positive comment. You may also wish to leave a warning for parents that the site's content is not suitable for young children. You can leave your ratings as is and rate the domains a second time offering an Adult cautionary comment.

==Mass delete==
Each Scorecard has the ability for a user to remove their comments and to delete their ratings for a website. The mass rating tool also provides this ability to work with more than one domain at a time. This is useful if you have rated compromised websites that are no longer compromised and wish to remove you comments and ratings from them. Simply enter the list of domains into the domain entry box, check mark this component's option and click Submit. Your previous ratings will be deleted and your comments removed.

==Submit==
The submit button processes ratings for one to one hundred entries. If you have more than one hundred entries for rating, the remainder will be displayed and you are required to Submit them again. This process continues until your entries have been depleted. If you Submit with no entries left in the domain list box, it will appear in red and a error message is displayed stating that you have no entries to process.

===Submit limitation===
Submits are limited to 100 per 10 minutes. With each submission allowing up to 100 domains, you are limited to 10,000 domains per 10 minutes. This limitation is in place to stop a malfunctioning add-on or a bot from causing excessive server load.

===Submit notification===
Displayed above the domain list input box, after the ''Submit'' button has been clicked, showing which entries are "newly rated" versus those entries you may have rated previously.
Example:
<pre>Thanks, 87 new comments added and 12 comments updated and 99 ratings updated/added.
Failed to rate: 178.19.101.212.in-addr.arpa.
Your list contains 566 more ratings to be processed</pre>
Note:
If you tick the '''Don't replace my earlier comments''' check-mark box, the resulting notification will display as:
<pre>Thanks, 87 new comments added and 0 comments updated and 99 ratings updated/added.
Failed to rate: 178.19.101.212.in-addr.arpa.
Your list contains 566 more ratings to be processed</pre>

The ''Failed to rate: domain name'' error is returned when an improper domain name is referenced.
178.19.101.212.in-addr.arpa is not a valid domain name, it is the reverse address (IPv4) for IP: 212.101.19.178 reference: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_DNS_lookup Reverse DNS lookup]
Entering ''212.101.19.178'' in the domain list entry box will result with a recorded MRT rating.

=Profile privacy settings=
==User board==
As a Platinum Level Member of WOT and having access to the mass-rating tool you are expected to allow open communication from other users who may disagree in how you've rated/commented on a website. Previously, some mass-rating members had disabled receiving messages from other users registered on the Forums by editing Profile -> Edit -> Privacy Settings and turning "Off" their Boards.

A [http://www.mywot.com/en/forum/5227-platinum-level-suggestion discussion] was created on the Forums to disable this feature, in effect forcing mass-rating members to maintain some form of ''responsibility'' for their ratings. It was [http://www.mywot.com/en/forum/5227-platinum-level-suggestion?comment=26041#comment-26041 announced] on 13 January, 2010 by ''Timo'' that this restriction has been implemented. Basically, if a Platinum user has their Board messages set to "Off" they shall still receive private message from other users; naturally if the board is set to "On" there is no change.

==Rating / post count==
You have the choice to publicly display or hide the ''Ratings / Posts Counts''. To change this setting, edit your [https://www.mywot.com/profile/edit profile settings] in the '''Privacy settings''' block look for: ''Hide my rating and post counts''

* Not checked (default) allows other users viewing your profile to see your count totals.

=Whitelist=
Currently there is no facility to maintain an exclusion filter or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitelist whitelist] via the MRT.

There are certain IP's and host names which should not earn reputation or comment.

[[MRT whitelist]]

=Caveat=
You have been given this tool because you have rated many domains to achieve the Platinum level status. Be careful as to how you use it, mass rating is a ''privilege'' that can be easily taken away.

* Do not attempt to use this for the sake of increasing your activity score, you might be surprised and discover you no longer have access.
* Do not attempt to manipulate website [scorecard] reputations, you will lose access to the MRT as well as have your previous ratings and comments deleted.

Rating a website's reputation is a serious matter. Rating websites is not a game, there is no "race" to see who can rate more. Please be accurate and at the same time be responsible.
