I'm not the one asking to change the system here, why would I suggest anything that would? I want there to be an unwritten rating system for when someone doesn't want to write a review, comments for things going on in said chapter or last few chapters. Not to mention a review system that doesn't limit itself to certain people, just like I don't want to limit the ability to publish stories to certain people. What do you know, that's something we already have.
And honestly, what good is there to adding more requirements and restrictions on people here? That's all that ever gets suggested half the time by a lot of the frequent users. Cover arts, complaining about popular genres or the trending page. People will like and dislike whatever they want for whatever reasons they have, so what? Not every story here, popular or not gets reviewed bombed with 1-stars all the time. There's clearly a reason for that, and it's not just because of trolls. These reviews and ratings aren't just for the authors, it for readers that could be interested in the story too.
see part of the problem is people like you who apparently dont give a fuck that the problem exists and then goes, "Well why should I offer a solution?" Because, cunt,you got involved in a discussion about a solution.
People wouldn't be bitching about the rating and review system if so many goddamn people didn't abuse and misuse the damn thing, so again...whats your point? LIke i said, if you're gonna bitch about people tryna help instead of offering any kind of solution yourself, then shut the fuck up yo. I was polite the first time, but now you're being a bit ridiculous about it.
People DO like and dislike whatever they want. That isnt the problem. The problem is the abuse and misuse by everyone and their mother. You wont give damn cuz you dont get spammed with one stars or five star which dont help worth a damn. You dont care because you arent an author who wants ACTUAL FEEDBACK but instead get things like, "Thanks for the chapter" or "FIrst!" which are equally annoying an unhelpful.
But there's people here who would much rather that change, and if we have to add more restrictions to force people to stop their bullshit then oh well. Im sorry it INCONVENIENCES you, but its also an inconvenience to us when you dont offer anything meaningful or even just talk trash about our work.
People dont have to leave rates and reviews. Again, i'd rather just have one honest rating and review than one hundred 1 or 5 stars, or vague and unhelpful written reviews. I'd think other authors here are the same.
Why should we care about a person's freedom to rate and review freely when so many cant use it properly? The authors are the important people here, my dude. We're the ones making the content here. Not the readers. I dont get why imposing a bit more order is taken as a bad thing. If the readers were bit more responsible on their own, this wouldn't be an issue.
Because for all your talk about, "oh there's a reason people get review bombed and its not cuz of trolls" ...well guess what, buddy? THESE MOTHERFUCKERS NEED ACTUAL ADVICE ON HOW TO IMPROVE THEIR GODDAMN STORIES!
I dont mind poor reviews being spammed my way by everyone and their mother, but offer something i can use to improve myself for fuck's sake. Its not a hard thing to do, or ask.
Any we got off topic and i dont wanna make this a big whole argument so whatever your reply may be imma just stop it here. I said my piece. Laters yo~
