How about a system where my stories just have a 5 option, and all the others have 1-4? That couldn't be too hard, surely? ?????
so, you think my stories don't deserve 5s...?

You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.

One simple comment. In all my years on this site, I have never, ever, looked at a score to decide whether to read the story or not. I do find them interesting. But they are simply not any sort of determinant to whether I will pay attention.
So, any scoring system is fine with me. Please, just read my stuff and give me a comment now and then.![]()

I love your philosophy.
I read stories based on a multitude of factors. Those which have an interesting title, a one liner which draws me in, enticing tags ... And a quick scan of the first paragraph will be enough usually to see if the author has the chops or piques my interest.
I suspect most people feel the same.
Maybe we should do away with the scoring system altogether?

Looks like we're in for a nasty spell of wether.

Read RejectReality's response. It's largely something I have said a few times over the years. Most people use it as a "like" system by giving a 5 as long they like the story so make it one.
Quote by Pelwrath
How easy and useful would it be if there was am option for a half grade? Say you clicked any score under 5, then there'd be an option for a"+" or ".5" to click. I do like the "like" option. Could a score vote be tied to a comment? The score is listed in the comment you leave.

IIRC, it used to be that the score message in your timeline said who left it. It was anonymized for a reason but I forget the reason. Whatever it was, I assume it would be an issue for this idea, too.

I have no problem with people that drop "low" scores on my stories and are honest enough to say why. As long as it's not out of spite/spam, it's great. In fact, if someone has such a negative reaction to something I write, it's likely because it was so well written it struck a nerve, which perversely makes me happy.

The comments are what matters.

Why not leave a comment too?

I have had people drop 1s and 2s on mine. On every single piece where someone feels it needs a low score, I would really love to know why.
Quote by Simplicity
I can accept a low score if the person can leave me a reason as to why. But its the hit and run that gets me. I know we all have our own opinions and I would rather know who is giving the low score as to it being anonymous . ( Please, no one needs to scream at me, its just my opinion )
