I don't quite understand your rating system though. Is ***/*** 3 out of 3 stars? And if so, why not just make it ***? Or 3? Or just say everything is rated out of three? And on that, if that is the case, doesn't that really restrict you, in that you can only have a 1, 2 or 3 rating? Or have I got all this wrong?
TH criticizing other people's esoteric rating systems.

And I'm writing "***/***" so you know how high the scale goes. Two stars (or whatever) don't mean anything without some context.
Fair enough. Kind of looks like you're saying fuck/shit though. :laughing: Generally I think ratings are understood to be out of five or ten, but well it's your thread, so you do what you like. Just it does look a little weird.

I know, right? I mean, how could anyone understand the concept of speedometer that goes from 1 to 10? Madness! What: do I expect you all to be members of MENSA or something? :rolleyes: And as for Love or Hate, well, don't get me started!

I can easily just drop the ratings anyway. I guess I just felt like I had to have one because... that's just how these things go, or something.

I always feel weird about rating music. You can't quantify the personal impact of art.

I'll have it figured out by the next album review I post.

Another thing that can work is various smilies. You can have laughing for top spot, crying or angry for lowest, and a whole lot of other **** in between. Or various Homer Simpson expressions. Or kittens with different expressions. Or whatever. Up to you. A thermometer is also an idea.

Just proves either a) how stupid some people are or, which is more likely, b) they were all just trying to wind me up as usual. It could not be more simple. And actually, no, I don't remember anyone being confused by it.

Translation: YOU don't like them.
Now let's **** off and leave MicShaz's thread alone. You've already spammed the emergency contacts thread enough.
