Red Thumbs

Post by Joëlle_ »

Just by curiosity...
Is there any way to know our own amount/ or ratio of red thumbs that other peoples gave us, and what are the reasons?
Thanks!

For all intents and purposes, no.

You could literally go through the profile of every single person you've ever played with and see if you can see any information under "Playing now at" on their profile page. If you can't then you've been blocked by a red thumb, but you won't know why. And remember, they don't even have to have a reason to give you a private red thumb.

So there is no easy way to get the information you want.

If I recall correctly, it was because people were giving retaliatory red thumbs. People would see their red thumb count go up, look at the last few games they played and guess who gave them a red thumb, and then retaliate by giving one back (even though they didn't initially consider them worthy of a red thumb). Of course, if they guessed wrong, this would lead to even more red thumbs being thrown around.

I think they were asking if you could see the reasons you got a red thumb, not the reason why you can't see who gave your a red thumb.

You are right, thanks ;) ...maybe my question wasnt clear (english isnt my native language). I wanted to know how many green & red thumbs I have (do the majority of people enjoy playing with me?), and the reasons why I got red thumbs.
But apparantly I will never know :?

I can answer that question for you - it is because you quit your games.

The question you should have asked is "how can I better manage my anger issues to prevent myself from rage quitting in games." People will continue to give you red thumbs until you make changes to your own behavior.
