After considering my own images, and the rankings for them ( when enabled ) I'm pretty sure,archetype, that the system is completely unchanged, save for the replacement of words for numbers. I like it. I might be cautious about giving someone a rating of 5, but a rating of "Needs Work" is a lot easier to swallow, and a lot less insulting to the sensitive amongst us. Besides, if you look at the "Highest Rated" segment of the galleries, those images with more 10's ( Or Excellents ) gain priority over those with only a few 10's. Besides, ratings are pretty meaningless, anyway.. it's the critique that matters, which we stil need help with. ;) Paul
