According to primetime (and note that yes, these are NOT my words):

As someone who rated difficulty levels himself, I understand the amount of frustration that Leo is going through. However, I also see Yeungchunk's point.

As admins of what's becoming an insanely hard game, it's very difficult to determine difficulty levels, especially when no admin is that far in the game himself. Even regular users are untrustworthy at times, saying every level is nearly impossible. Unless it would remain undetermined for at least six months to come, admins have to put in something to fill the gap. Hours are wasted predicting each level's difficulty, and when someone criticizes with a "don't rate if you can't play" hate comment, it does get angersome. If the levels are left undetermined, admins get innundated with messages saying, "Rate the next ten episode please." You get blamed either way, for rating the levels and not for rating them. Eventually it takes one more comment for a table to flip over.

However, Yeungchunk doesn't see that comment he posted was a hate comment at all. It was merely a suggestion/stance to oppose Leo's difficulty rating, saying that it would be more accurate if he actually played the level. In which he is right, a picture and gameplay video doesn't really tell much, especially early levels like 140 which look very easy but actually aren't. Any opinion from an admin is expected to be more mature than the others, where a "seems like fun" comment seems out of place. There was absolutely no hate in the action nor the intent. Then this "out of the blue" anger thread seems like an attack towards something that meant no harm.

Courtemanche437: Yeungchunk's comment is terse and accurate. He didn't mean any harm from the comment but instead objectively meant what he said. Generally if you don't play a level, solely looking at the board image and walkthroughs don't cut it. That's all he's saying: the thread seemed like a blatant attempt on Yeungchunk for nothing he did wrong. With every hate comment about difficulty ratings that Flockky, you, and I have received, it is wrong to single out his comment alone and blame on that. I've removed the file from the Wikia for this reason.

Yeungchunk: rating levels past 1,500 is difficult because everything is no longer reliable. All comments say "extremely hard" and "nearly impossible" and the raters are stuck on their own levels himself. Admins get blamed if they don't rate levels (the Dainty Dunes dilemma) and they get blamed if they do with hate comments, some of which did look like yours. Videos and images are the only thing admins can judge on. Your oppose comment, regardless of intent, could be taken as an attack on work mainly because there were so many hate comments admins have received that looked like yours.
