Integrity Rating
Kazaa includes a feature called 'Integrity
Rating'. The use of Integrity Ratings supports the spread
of good quality, accurately represented files.
Every user is able to easily rate every file they share
based on technical quality and accuracy of file data (metadata).
Users are rewarded for integrity rating their files by earning
double points towards their Participation Level when an integrity
rated file is uploaded. Read more about Participation
Level.
Why Should I Integrity Rate My Files?
In order to guide other users who may be interested in the
files you are sharing, you are encouraged to rate the integrity
of your files and delete those which should not be shared.
File integrity is based on its technical quality and the
accuracy of its descriptive file data (metadata). It is not
how much you like or enjoy the file, just its technical merits.
Files can be given the following ratings:
| Excellent
: |
Has complete file data (metadata) describing
the file and is of an excellent technical quality. |
| Average : |
Has some file data (metadata) describing the file,
is of a moderate technical quality. |
| Poor : |
Poor technical quality, no file data (metadata). |
| Delete File : |
Where the file should not be shared e.g. it is virus
infected, of unusable technical quality, or illegal. |
How Do I Rate Them?
- Go to 'My Kazaa' view inside Kazaa.
- Right click on the file and select ‘Integrity
Rating’. Then select ‘Excellent’, ‘Average’, ‘Poor’ or ‘Delete
File’ from the drop down menu.
Alternatively:
- Go to 'My Kazaa' view inside Kazaa.
- Right click on the file and select 'Edit Details'.
- Select 'Excellent', 'Average', or 'Poor' from the
drop down menu below the heading 'Integrity Rating'.
- You can also enter data into the 'Category' and 'Type'
fields under the 'General' tab. By selecting the
'More' tab you can enter the language of the file, any
relevant
keywords that will make it easier for other users
to find the file, and you can write a short description
of the
file which will appear when other users find the
file in their search results and hover their mouse over
the file.
Bogus, Fake or Illegal Files
If a file is not what it claims to be, or should not
be shared, you should:
- Correct its file data (metadata) using the method
above, or
- Just delete it as you normally would. This helps
to improve the quality of searching and downloading
using Kazaa by correcting poorly
named files and
removing bogus, fake or illegal ones.
You will be rewarded for integrity rating your files. Read
about Participation Level.
