The ratings are what people make them. Like you said 9 is the best 1 is the worst everything else in-between lies somewhere in the good-to-bad spectrum. Let's not set concrete definitions on something that people should be able to manipulate to represent their opinion towards a piece. |

Well, that is kind of wrong with 1. 1 means "Hardly worthy of rating". |

I disagree. But hey, why argue over word choices, anyways? We all speak our own English. |

Well, you're just wrong because you aren't describing the current system. |

We can't just assume that texts will never be well-rated enough that people who don't like something will be better off leaving it alone than giving it a low rating. But anyways, this thread is a little old, isn't it? |

You do realize that I wrote that comment almost 2 years ago, don't you? The administrators have since actually put in an online description of the ratings system, and I like to think that I had at least some small influence on that. ; ) |

An admitted problem. The issue with the rating system for me is that it has a base number of minimum ratings (I think it's either 10 or twenty) but even if you get say 6 nines there are still 4 0s averaged into your overall score. This scews all the ratings just like you said. Maybe we should get rid of the minmum number of scores? Or perhaps reduce that number to say 3? This isn't a huge site after all, I think the highest rated piece on the whole thing is still only 3 or 4. |
