The Star Rating System

Hi all,


It was brought to my attention last night that I had apparently given Playlover's JCS two stars in the review I wrote about it.

Not true at all. I have no idea what the stars mean. What do they mean Grant?

I have to say I don't like the rating system - yet. I say yet, because maybe I am missing something, or maybe it will grow on me?? I find the stars annoying and irrelevant. I will tend to read a post whether it has one, five or no stars. I think Graig's post highlights the "complicated" nature of the stars. Why do we have to make a judgement on someone's post anyway?

They also tend to be ambiguous - The RM's review on JC received two stars. We later found out this was because it was posted on more than one board. I can appreciate this, but how are we to know that this is why someone chose to rate it thus?

I think this is a great site and I visit it often (the stars will not deter me). I will follow with interest the rate debate.
