The infinite ratings issue has been addressed. See http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/list/10824.page

We thank you for fixing that issue, but the ratings system is still seriously flawed.

This is a great update. Thanks! However, is there anyway to link together the multiple creature creator accounts I have that already exist? OR to delete them to have the ability to recreate them as sub screen names linked to my Spore game?

Seriously!
The ability to do one or the other of those things (preferably the first, of course) is absolutely essential.

Honestly I'd think that the folks that run the Sporepedia would NOT want a system that encourages the existence of thousands and thousands of unwanted and duplicate accounts.

Is there any way to transfer things from one username to another? I created a second username to replace my original, but all of my creations are on the first username. I've tried opening things and saving them, but even when I'm logged into the game on my new username, it saves under the first.

What would happen if I deleted my first username? Would I just lose everything?

Have you tried to delete your first username? I don't believe there is a way of doing it, even if you want to.

Well, there's text next to it that says "Delete username." I'm afraid to though, in case it means I'll lose all of my creations.

If you delete a username, all its creations (and comments and achievements and ratings) are removed from the server. They'll still be on your local drive, of course, but then you'd have to re-upload them.

So where is this delete button of which you speak?

I haven't found a way to delete a primary account name. Somebody point me in the right direction.

I guess you would have to set a secondary account to default- and then delete the original.

You will not get achievements if you use the cheat console in that game.
To earn achievements you need to start a new game and not use the cheat console.

But does deleting an account release the name to be used again elsewhere?

Sure is a lot of confusion and guesswork for something that should be as simple and obvious as a big red DELETE MY ACCOUNT button.

Still, transferring an account would still be way preferable... as if anyone who cares is out there is listening to us.

This is skittlesloli, moguhoki's girlfriend.
Is there any way I can add my SN to his account without adding numbers? I don't see the point in creating all these things for my account if I can't even use my account now.

It would be helpful if there was a way we could add existing screen names to the list so people don't have to abandon old accounts just to have new ones.
Perhaps if there was a way we could add existing screen names by typing in the password as well? This would help ensure that the owner of that screen name is the one who get to have it right? Then we don't have to go around and delete our hard work.
