User talk:Yunzhong Hou/Rating System

You don't rate hard, Yun (4 out of 5 for 2084? Yeah, right, I think you mean rounding up, way up), they're, like any other person's, simply skewed by your subjectiveness, a subjectiveness that some people don't share, which makes it impossible for them to live up your standards (for instance, I hate game and movie fanfiction, it's my personal understanding that graphical arts don't translate too well to text, so no matter how much you tried, I'd only like a Starcraft fanfic if it had nothing to do with Starcraft). By the way, you do realize that rating a work that's not trying to be traditionalist with traditionalist standards is crazy, right?

Also, I think I misunderstood the "balance" stuff. By what I could understand, you want to give same numbers of high and low ratings, but if there are five works, four you find exceedingly well done, and one you think that sucks, this means you'll still give a 1 to one of the good ones? --Nonimportant 01:36, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
