I don't like the rating system at all. If you think its excellent you write that in the comment and why, likewise if not you express what it is about it that doesn't quite messure up. Getting a rating of ok or good doesn't help the artist in any way shape or form to see what may need improving. To me its the comments that matter. Besides, and correct me if I'm wrong here, but aren't the word ratings equal to numeric values. So that if I find an image interesting in a positive way and click a rating a interesting I'm in actuallity yanking down the artists average rating? That seems totally wrong to me. To avoid this, I just comment. my 4 or 5 cents. Angela
