Whenever there's a new ICO on the market, the first thing I look on them is their team members, and I would always scan their twitter accounts if they're attending any blockchain summits. If no faces were shown on their social media sites, my last resort would be visiting icobench and look if they're KYC verified. Then after that, I will be making more researches about their platform/project.
I don't solely rely on them, I just visit them when I needed more information.
Topic: Do you believe in ICO Ratings? - page 75. (Read 6947 times)
Yes, it is a good way to find if the ICO you are participating with is a good and a legit ICO. The ico ratings will give fair ratings to evaluate the ICOs team, its features, etc. They will scrutinize the ICO to give a good and interesting rating for the investor to know if its good ICO or not.
I see many Websites that provide ratings for ongoing ICOs or for the future. Examples such as the ICObench.com Website, ICOrating.com and others.
Which is my question whether you believe in the rating provided by the website. Seeing many ICO's do not match what they value. Many ICOs are arguably good ratings but when the token sales of the project only reach softcap. And there are projects that I see have a fairly mediocre rating but their token sales reach hardcap. I took the example of Lalaworld on ICObench.com they get Rating 3.7 but their token is sold out.
So let's discuss ICO Rating!

As my opinion, ICO Ratings is the way to check or used as guides only whether if it is High or Low ratings but definitely we must do an own research regarding ICO's project that we want to know more about it. Other saying, the highest rating will become a successful project but its only their opinion. Once do a research, just study and analyze it.
this is a good and courageous question, personally I do not believe it because it is not completely independent and is paid
There are some sites that I trust partly due to their past and unbiased reviews, but even then at the end of the day, only you can make a decision alone.
I don't trust these ratings at all, because most of them were paid. I prefer to do my own research or rely on the research of famous investors before investing in ICO.
I do not believe all these rating sites, but there you can find a condensed information about the project. This is sometimes useful.
Most ratings might be wrong or might not go as planned. Some ICOs can be rated very high and yet at the end of the tokensale event, there won't be listed on any major exchange or they won't yield any profit. 
If the ratings and comments from the expert reviews are consistently good or bad, it could be an indicator of the validity of the project. Reading for yourself is good on top of the review sites.

All this ratings websites and tables make a most important thing - hype around the project. And our goal, as investors, find an ICO projects with a high hype level, cool idea, solid team and acceptable metrics. Which is my question whether you believe in the rating provided by the website.

I do not believe in rating agencies. This may be my distrust of ICO. I think there is a problem with the fairness of rating agencies. Because they are profitable. So I do not choose ICO.
There are only a handful of ICO rating sites I trust like ICObench and ICOrating but their ratings aren't really 100% accurate since most of them use predictions and some of these sites get paid to advertise these ICOs.
It would be wise to use these rating sites for references only and still do your own research of the project you're participating in.

Actually, it is very simple with the ICOrating.com I think it's very helpful to us in determining the ICO. What is in ICO rating we have to do checks resetting because this is very important. Because when the ICO's very good rating but after repeated checks be done does not comply with expectations.
ICO ratings should be used as guides only, so it's fine to look at them and see what they have to say, but I wouldn't part with any funds based solely on their opinion. Best to do your own research, coupled with ICO ratings, plus it doesn't hurt to check forums - like here - to see what others have to say.

this is a good topic. I'm pretty sure certain projects are overvalued and some of them undervalued. Some of them even pay to get higher ratings. I wouldn't still say that if the rating was 3.7 and project reached hardcap, ICO rating was wrong. I would measure the accuracy of ratings based on the long term performance instead of amount raised.
Don't trust everything you see in ICO rating websites. I usually read the white paper first before going to the ICO ratings/review websites. I also try to see if there are reviews in youtube mostly to validate what I understood from the whitepaper.
It is not worthwhile to believe completely trackers, since they are all bought, but you can look at the evaluation.
ICO Rate sites sound like a centralized system.
Well, you shouldn't trust anything 100% but ICO ratings and reviews give you a solid ground for future research. You shouldn't care about the rating itself but the information that it points your attention to. Important factor that you should look for are the caps. You can learn a lot about a project from the hard and soft caps of the ICO. If they are unrealistically high or there is no explenation how the team plans to distribute the raised money, than either it's a scam or the team is incompetent. In both cases you should stay away from the ICO.
I do not think that these sites are worth paying attention to. It's only the sites that are doing the evaluation one particular metrics. + You can order a run to increase the rating metrics. And where is the truth
