Make Someone Happy and Win a Patch


The ratio of views to ratings on any given Instructable are abysmal. Ratings encourage Instructable writers to write more Instuctalbes. I have 100 patches to give out to members who rate 10 Instructables, they have to be 'ibles you have not rated before now - so get back to me here and tell me you did it (I will believe you) and I'll send you a Thank You Patch (pictured below). This has the potential to make 1,000 'ible authors very happy.

I rated all 19 of your Ibles 5. If you don't have any more patches. It's okay. I would've rated most of them 5 anyway.

Thank you, but this is not about me, it's about rating 'ibles. I'm sorry that you thought this was about rating my ibles, I work for Instructables, that is why I have patches to give out. I hope in the future you will rate all the 'ibles you read. I will patch you anyway but I feel pretty sheepish about it.

Many of them just try to get you "to their site" to sell you something, but some of them try to get you to their "infected" site.....

Okay! I made a lot of people happy! I had fun making them happy! I left comments and made them happy. I subscribed to a few also! This patch looks so cute!

Batness says: Jan 7, 2011. 5:50 AM
I always rate stuff, and try to comment too. :D I know it'd make me feel better to get some decent ratings, so I try to do that to others.

I'll be back after I comment/rate a few new 'Ibles!
20
Ninzerbean (author) in reply to BatnessJan 7, 2011. 6:39 AM
Great to hear, you be patched!

Thank you! :D

Batness in reply to BatnessJan 7, 2011. 6:14 AM
I'm back! Did probably more than 10 just to be safe, and since I like doing it anyway. :D

(On another note, I've discovered that even though my cats are apparently too finicky for my first few batches of the treats I made using your Instructable, my friend's dog LOVES LOVES LOVES them! I added some lavender to a batch and they smell slightly better too! :D)
20
Ninzerbean (author) in reply to BatnessJan 7, 2011. 6:57 AM
I'm impressed with your 'ibles after I checked them out - and subscribed, there is another forum thing like this one where you subscribe to 5 people and get a patch.

Ninzerbean (author) in reply to magiccowyAug 23, 2010. 5:58 AM
Thank you! - you are patched, I hope rating becomes a habit. I have to go check out your 'ibles now- they look pretty cool.
7
magiccowy in reply to NinzerbeanAug 23, 2010. 11:13 PM
Ah they're not that great. Mostly to the fact I write them instead of doing homework and i have next to no tools/materials. I want to make an instructable in the workshop at school which is pretty much my favourite place
20
Ninzerbean (author) in reply to magiccowyAug 24, 2010. 5:01 AM
You should get your teacher involved here - they have great support for teachers to use 'ibles in the classroom, there have been projects done on here that a whole school class did together.

magiccowy in reply to NinzerbeanAug 25, 2010. 5:09 PM
I could have written up the trebuchet we made in engineering last term but its dismantled now. Also my class only has about 5 people that actually do anything at all
