How would you like to see the reviews graded?

Doesn't matter the scale used.

I look for the reviewers comments and depending upon who the reviewer is, that will sway me yea or nay.

There has been a lot of discussion about the merits of the current rating system used in the reviews area of the site. Please don't use this thread to continue those discussions there are other threads for that. This is simply to try to find out what you, the users of this site, would like to see.

As with your previous suggestion, unless you're prepared to rewrite the code, we're stuck with it the way it is. Sorry!

I think most people who write a review tend to say whether they recommend it to others or not, and as part of the review list its merits and flaws, as well as describe the waulity of the art, layout, page count, binding etc...

As such its probably okay just to go on the review itself, as different people tend to look for different things in a product so will likely scan numerous reviews of the same thing for different perspectives in order to guage whether or not its what they want (I know I do).

Edit : Oh bother! Can a mod change the typo in the poll from "wan" to "want". Thanks.

Fixed.

I voted for no ratings. By this I mean no stored and accumulated ratings by the site. This would not stop people from posting a rating within their review, but if there is no stored rating for a product then that would probably stop people from posting reviews just to boost a rating.

Gotta go with this one as well...

I would like to know why this was moved. It was to the public who views ENWorld, not to the mods/owners. You allow all kinds of OT threads to remain but you move this just because it involves this website? Morrus himself responded to it, and did not find cause to remove it to meta at that time.

I would like to request that this thread is returned where you found it.

Morrus · Sep 23, 2002

Actually, I meant to move it. Must have been distracted by something.

It's a thread about the site; thus it belongs in Meta. And the forum description makes no mention of Mods: "questions or comments about the messageboards or the site in general".

Too bad. Most people don't bother to come to meta. IMO

I voted 1-10, but really that's 1-5 with half-points.

I'm not too familiar with the code behind it, but I did go over it a while back and it didn't look too complex. It's quite possible to change it over.
