Hence I don't know how long the comments have appeared beside the *s when we rate. I think there are some considerable benefits here. Some members seem unhappy when they get a 3* grade. The coment makes it clear that it is quite a commendation. Also it is easier to use a 1* rating, where appropriate. However it has rather gone from one extreme to another for 1*. I agree that the comment should not be rude but it does seem necessary to be able to express disapproval. Perhaps 'Thanks, but - -' would be better, in that it encourages people using a 1* rating to write a comment on why it only gets the lowest grade. --- Grieve not for that which you cannot do but rejoice in that which you can.

It would be great for all rating given to be accompanied with comments. I know I did not always leave comments in my early days at Globo but now, I often leave comments even if I don't rate. --- Open your eyes. Free your mind. Touch lives. Sink into the different.

I think "*" says it all. That way we are not forced to use insulting words :-) --- Rudolf "Rangutan" Graspointner Reply    Reply with quote    Contact rangutan
