Wait a minute. I would think that to put the article here, it would have to be voted here or gone through some process. Otherwise, use Joe Schmoe will come and move it out again. --Karlos 00:37, 14 May 2006 (CDT)

Yes. The progression for status would be New -> Stub -> Untested -> if vote succeeds: Tested, if vote fails: Unfavored. That's the whole idea. --Bishop (rap|con) 00:46, 14 May 2006 (CDT)

I think it would be good to write why the builds are unfavored.

Look at the build's talk pages --KittySoft 08:18, 15 June 2006 (CDT)

[edit] 200+

we now have over 200 unfavored builds. we have more unfavored builds then tested. time to delete some? --Honorable Sarah 10:10, 25 August 2006 (CDT)

I think it is too easy to favor and to unfavor a build, nevertheless, it passes, easely, more unnoticed to unfavor a build without, actually, testing it, than to favour a build without, actually, testing it, and this is why there are much more unfavored builds than other. I have made just one build and I find that it is being unfavored without a proper reason for it; anyone may be give a vote, even those who have not tested it. So I suggest to still keep testing unfavored builds and keep giving votes to them... and if favorable votes come to out number unfavorable then move again the build back to untested or move it to tested. Still more, as some builds are unfavored just because they have some similarity with another and not becuase they were missconceived, and there may be relevant discussion on them, I suggest to add links in the articles of a build to related builds without regard to which section they are in.--mariano 05:37, 3 September 2006 (CDT)

I encourage you to vote on both tested and unfavoured — Skuld 05:50, 3 September 2006 (CDT)

Not 200 anymore :) Someone went through and reinstated the build voting on a lot of builds that didn't have a 3 vote difference, but a lot of those were still in the Unfavored cat because they'd had a hard addition of the Category:Unfavored builds tag added, so I went and removed them... down to 177! - Greven 14:58, 3 October 2006 (CDT)

Yes, I missed that several of the builds with the unfavored template did have the hard cat as well, thx for cleaning that up. --Xeeron 17:18, 3 October 2006 (CDT)

it clearly says why under the build name it has an thumb pointing down.

Why is the Minion Factory build here? It's not unfavored. Tankfan90 13:28, 27 December 2006 (CST)

[edit] OMG PPL

The number of unfavored builds here mean 2 possible things: 1- most players on average, suck, simply put. 2- The voting system is less about testing, experimenting, & criticism, and more about the opinions of a select few (which imo, are 1-track minded overall). --8765 15:33, 31 January 2007 (CST)

[edit] Cleanse and Burn?

Unfavored is a giant pool of bad builds. No one is going to sort through this to try and pick out a good build that may have accidentally been unfavored or revamp an old build into something that works. Might be a good time to delete them all and clean out the section. If something good was deleted it will likely get submitted again at some point. -Warskull 16:47, 16 March 2007 (CDT)

Yes, and that's my main argument for keeping it. If you don't... "it will likely get submitted again at some point." I prefer to know before I put hard work into a build whether somebody tried it before, so I just so a Wiki wide seach to find out, and if it's in unfavored, it just saved me 10 hours. --
