I understand what you are saying drsiemens. But I feel that if it were to become anonymous... some people would start giving out bad ratings (1-2) to people who they don't agree with on a forum or whatever. The fact that the rating is Identified sorta puts a damper on someone giving out "hateful" ratings. I Agree that alot of images are totally over rated...but one of the problems is that you shouldn't feel affraid to post your 5 rating even if the image is at 10 or high 9.x. I myself probably give out more high ratings than I should...but I usually look up that persons "portfolio" of images...and judge from there. I might give out a high rating to a "average" image if that person is new to poser or if its more of less there first try. Maybe I am wrong in doing so...but I rather pat someone on the back and encourage them...then give a low rating...cause quite frankly...some people take it harder than others. So my basic opinion is that I rather have everything Identified...the rating and the comments.
