When someone posts a great pic like this:

That's only got a rating of 3, and all the comments are absolutely positive, it makes no sense.
From what I heard, Hammerfel either doesn't know how to disable the ratings, or simply can't.
Personally, for a while now I've been countering these "poor ratings without an accurate criticism" with ratings of 5 (I don't think anyone here deserves less) but I'm only one member and there seem to be more than one person handing out those ratings.
So I'm asking you guys, my friends, my compadres, my partners-in-crime... will you join me for this, to force the people that give crappy ratings without a reason to either stop, or start posting actual critiques rather than hide behind an anonymous rating? |
... my two cents.
To play the devils advocate... which I tend to do... offten,
How can we complain about the rating system?
a rating system is a reflection of the opinions of one's peers. If I didn't like the photo (hypotheticaly speaking), lets say I felt it was too blurry to understand what was going on, and it didn't apeal to me on that point, that would be "my Opinion" and I would give my rating based on that opinion.
If you don't agree with that opinion then that's your business, but what's the point of a ratings system if we all get 5 stars/blocks?
I personaly thought the picture was original and different, but it didn't apeal to my "would I hang it on my wall" meter. so there fore "IF" I used the rating system (which I have never noticed LOL) I would have given it a 3 or 4. that's my opinion
you can't expect everyone to love the pictures you love.
I say this to make a point I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings (why I don't rate pictures) and I hope my objectional comments don't reflect badly on my work or anyone else's
WE (all of us) do what we do because we love it! I say get rid of the system (if possible) and move on
P.S. can some one tell me why I'm only getting a 4 rating on my comic?
