Rating System

Everything you need to know about rating mods on BeamLeaks

How Rating Works

How does the rating system work?

BeamLeaks uses a 5-star rating system. When you download a mod and are logged in, you'll be able to rate it after using it for at least one hour. This ensures ratings are based on actual experience with the mod.

Ratings help other users discover high-quality mods and provide valuable feedback to mod creators.

When can I rate a mod?

You can rate a mod if you meet these requirements:

  • You must be logged in to your BeamLeaks account
  • You must have downloaded the mod
  • At least one hour must have passed since you downloaded the mod

This waiting period ensures you've had time to try the mod before rating it.

Where do I find my pending ratings?

Once you're logged in and have downloaded a mod, follow these steps:

  1. Click the "Welcome, [username]" button in the header
  2. This will take you to your profile page
  3. Look for the "Pending Ratings" tab
  4. You'll see all mods that are ready to be rated
Note: Mods will only appear in "Pending Ratings" if it's been at least 1 hour since you downloaded them.

Rating Process

How do I rate a mod?

To rate a mod from your profile's "Pending Ratings" section:

  1. Navigate to your profile by clicking "Welcome, [username]"
  2. Click on the "Pending Ratings" tab
  3. Find the mod you want to rate
  4. Click on the star rating (1-5 stars)
  5. Submit your rating

You can also leave a comment along with your rating to provide more detailed feedback!

Can I change my rating later?

Currently, once you submit a rating, it is final. Make sure you've thoroughly tested the mod before submitting your rating. We may add the ability to edit ratings in the future.

Do I have to rate every mod I download?

No, rating mods is completely optional! However, we encourage you to rate mods you've tried to help the community discover great content and support mod creators.

What do the star ratings mean?

Here's a general guide for rating mods:

  • ⭐ 1 Star: Poor quality, major issues, not recommended
  • ⭐⭐ 2 Stars: Below average, has significant problems
  • ⭐⭐⭐ 3 Stars: Average, works but could be better
  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4 Stars: Good quality, minor issues or room for improvement
  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars: Excellent quality, highly recommended

Common Questions

Why is there a one hour waiting period?

The one hour waiting period ensures that ratings are based on actual experience with the mod, not just first impressions. This leads to more accurate and helpful ratings for the community.

Can I rate a mod if I downloaded it before creating an account?

Unfortunately, no. The system tracks downloads when you're logged in. If you downloaded a mod before creating an account or while logged out, you won't be able to rate it through the pending ratings system. You can download it again while logged in to enable rating.

Why don't I see a mod in my pending ratings?

There are a few reasons why a mod might not appear:

  • Less than one hour has passed since you downloaded it
  • You downloaded it while not logged in
  • You've already rated the mod
  • You downloaded it using the website instead of the app (or vice versa) and the tracking didn't sync

How are average ratings calculated?

The average rating displayed on each mod is calculated by taking the mean of all ratings submitted by users. For example, if a mod has ratings of 5, 4, and 5 stars, its average would be 4.7 stars.
