Profile: ComicRater

ComicRater, also know as Rater, is a GoComics User that has been active since December 2018. He likes to give his views on Big Nate, leaving positive feedback and constructive criticism. He used to rate comics, but now doesn't do it as much. He tries to avoid big wars, but he has gotten into a few arguments and crises.

History and Milestones
ComicRater joined back in July 2018. He was confused what the site was, but soon figured out. Back then he had a different name. He stayed quiet, only commenting once or twice.

In December 2018, he saw that  a person by the name of "Neptune_Ninja_Comics" saying that we should start rating comics again. This interested ComicRater, and he changed his profile picture, and his name to "ComicRater". He started rating the daily comics, and giving his views on it as well.

By January 2019, people seemed to be bored of rating daily comics, so he stopped. He still did it every once in a while, but his focus was giving more Positive and Negative feedback. He still kept the name "ComicRater" because he liked the ring to it. To this day, he still gives his views on comics.

ComicRater joined the wiki on July 18, 2019. He liked it, and even considered asking for a role. He is active on the wiki almost every day. ComicRater found success on the wiki due to making great pages.

On September 8, 2019, ComicRater announced he was leaving GoComics / being less active. He said he was leaving because of school, and because he was losing interest in the strip. He also said he would be active on the wiki. To this day, still sometimes reads the strip and comments rarely.

In October 2019, ComicRater got promoted to mod, but gave it to CrossDoggo due to criticism.

In October 2019, ComicRater took a brief break from the wiki due to the overwhelming situation. He stated he would still be active on discord and sometimes his message wall. Once recovered, he came back.

In November 2019, ComicRater reached 1,000 edits.

In December 2019, ComicRater briefly left the wiki due to mental health problems, and family problems. He returned a few days later.

After the ComicRater Flame War, new commenters we’re rolling in. ComicRater stopped giving negative feedback due to not wanting to start another flame war.

When PET and Neptune left the wiki, the staff were promoting. ComicRater ran for mod, alongside ZachOWott, SuperTalker101, FancyPantsFan, and GoldenGlory4life. ComicRater and ZachOWott got the most votes, so they had a debate on discord.

On March 16, 2020, ComicRater got promoted to discussions moderator: rollback.

Conflicts
ComicRater tries to avoid wars, like the Vader War, but he still has gotten into a few arguments and debates.

Favorite Character Argument

Once, ComicRater stated his favorite and least favorite characters, one of his least favorite being Francis. This sparked up anger and confusion among commenters, such as "Why do you hate Francis? He is one of the funniest characters" "Splish, splash, your opinion is trash" ComicRater expalined that he didn't like Francis because "He was a jerk in the older strips" and more.

The next day, ComicRater put out a comment saying he was sorry to anyone who liked Francis, and giving an explanation why he didn't like him. He also made, more thought out list. People seemed to be satisfied enough with this.
 * 1) Jenny
 * 2) Marty
 * 3) Francis

Nate is a Punching Bag /Argument

This debate started with the December 2018 strip when everyone thought Nate was gonna get a dog but he didn't. People we're saying that Nate was too much of a punching bag on the strips these days, even when he doesn't deserve it. Most people agreed with that. ComicRater also agreed.

As the strips went on, people kept saying that he was a chew toy, but some people disagreed. ComicRater was on the side that Nate was a chew toy still. This debate has not ended yet.

The Bureaucrat Crisis / The Mass Moderator Applications

ComicRater ran for Mod in the Bureaucrat war. In October 2019, He got promoted to mod.

After being tired of criticism, he gave his role to CrossDoggo, and temporarily left the wiki. He returned a week later.

This was the biggest conflict Rater participated in.

The ComicRater Argument / Flame War

ComicRater one day in the comment section of GoComics that he didn’t like how Chad was appearing so much.

He got massive amounts of hate for this, to the point where half the comment section was turned against him. However, he did get defense from some of the people from the Big Nate Comments Wiki. The next day, he apologized to the people who got their feelings hurt. People shut up after that.

This was the second biggest conflict Rater participated in.

PL argument

ComicRater and Zach got annoyed by PET negatively talking about PL. They went back and forth for a while about it.

After a while, PET and ComicRater apologized to each other, but Zach and PET never made up.

Supertalker Mod Argument 

On March 15th 2020, during the friendly mod debate between ComicRater and ZachOWott on discord, Supertalker101 was adding the word "BAD" in reactions on everyone's messages. After the debate, Rater and Super argued a bit in the #talk-room channel on the BNCS Discord Server. The argument didn't last too long and many users, including Zach, Spyro, and bnb agreed with Rater's points.
