Can I see how many I have rated so far
Contributors can not freely vote on entries, only the original submitter of the team has that ability by default. This is done to prevent larger teams from having more voting power. Please read the original post for more information about how the system works. Thanks
Randomly playing and voting on entries is beneficial to everyone in the jam, as it makes it more fair for all involved.
i get the reason behind its creation but surely there is a better way to handle it. i dont want to have to slog through voting on 25 random games i will never play just so i can rate the one game i did play. maybe you have some sort of timer thing, or only established accounts that meet specific criteria can vote
Please don’t post in old topics if you don’t have anything to contribute that is relevant to the topic.
A quick internet search can tell you all about what game jams are: https://itch.io/docs/creators/game-jams
For the OST composing jam that I'm participating, so far I could only rate one submission and my queue is empty after that:
https://itch.io/jam/ost-composing-jam-crunchtime/entries
This jam requires you to clear your rating queue before you can rate any submission you want. Please check your queue to see what submissions you can rate.
You should be able to update your platform again from this page: https://itch.io/jam/shadowdark-independent-game-jam/unrated
Tell me if you are having issues
We’ve changed it so you can now remove your platform preference. Please go to https://itch.io/jam/shadowdark-independent-game-jam/unrated and select the (reset) option under preferred platform.
Hi, as someone participating in my first game jam, I want to point out a problem with the preferred platform function. Since the game jam in question revolves around written material for a tabletop roleplaying game, the majority of the entries don't really fall under any platform due to simply being written documents and artwork. Thus, if someone curious tries to see what the preferred platforms option does, they basically lock themselves away from rating most of the entries.
Someone in the community posts ran into this problem and in an effort to help them I tried replicating it and sure enough, there seems to be no way to reset the preferences as far as I can tell.
Also I notice above there's mention of a 25 entry limit that could be reached to enable rating submissions without the queue. That doesn't seem to be the case.
Now, I realise this thread seems to refer to a specific game jam as opposed to the rating queue in general so I understand if this is the wrong place to voice these concerns. That said, I would appreciate if anyone could point me in the right direction.

I can definitely see the issues this might cause in a jam that is primarily non-platform specific content.
We’ve gone ahead added the option to go back from a platform to no preferred platform set.

This is a setting of the jam that is set by the jam host
Hi! I tried to set up a rating queue for my jam here https://itch.io/jam/velox-fabula and I'm getting reports that no one can see a queue. I sent in a support ticket, but figured I'd also post here in case it helps this get resolved faster (I'm trying to avoid some games getting an unfair amount of votes versus others). Any help is greatly appreciated!
