So I was wondering how exactly they work. I started off FlashDen with a few cheap files like preloaders and such, and got an average rating of 4 stars…
But recently, I started doing some larger files, and have gotten 5 star ratings on them, but im still at 4 stars overall. Im just wondering what is the number that changes you from 4 to 5 stars. Is it like 4.75 or something? Whats it gonna take for me to get to 5?

Yeah… Unfortunately, I got a 4 start rating average so far on my new full XML site.
Apparently, my 9 page help document was word 2007, which is something they didnt have, and instead of asking for a word 97-2003 version, they rated lower 
It really hurts to see a file you’ve spent so much time on, and put so much love into it creating it, but what can you do. Just how some people are :/
but i’ve updated the files now, so hopefully its all 5 stars from now on!

damn thats harsh ! i know what you mean though but so for so good for me 
It is rough when they rate lower for really ridiculous reasons…but trust me people have complained about much worse…like a guy once rated a file 1 star and bashed the guy/file on the comments, claiming no help file even though it was supposed to be “well documented”, and the file actually came with a “read_me” and the guy just never bothered to check that…I think he asked the author a question by email and didnt get a response in like 2 hours so he rated him bad and left horrible feedback.
Unfortunately you have to try to think of everything in advance. Realize that not everyone has the newest software, when I make a help file…its either in plain old .txt format…or PDF …which seems to be very widely readable. Just make the thing in word and either save as a PDF or choose “File > Print” and then for your printing options change from your printer to “Adobe PDF ”, it “prints” the document as a PDF that you can then save anywhere.

It is based on the average of all the ratings that you have been given. If you were given 11 ratings at an average of 4.6, you will get 5 stars. If you get 1000 ratings at an average of 4.6, you will get 5 stars. Just standard rounding rules. The number of files/sales is not important.
