If the old system is broken how about a wider range of scale given then everyone would not feel every image is a "10" and like a stated before nobody knows what somebody else has given you unless you state so.
A rating system of more numbers would possibly give a more accurate distrubitution of averages and would would also "knock down" "undesreved higher scores" for those images that are actually only average.
or limit how many many images you can actually rate a day that would limit the "clicks" from "pushing there friends image up the art charts".
I don't know nothing is perfect but it is obvious that this system is not working and if it reamins I will disable it and enocuarage others to do the same since this turns inot a popularity site a not a site of self expression that might possibly get recoginized even without being on the "Art Charts"

PS I'm enjoying this thread and love debating this and thank those who have participated still have heard nothing form the site itself!?
Thread: The Image Rating system is BROKEN | Forum: Suggestion Box
Quote - @cvrad - I understand what your saying but I also agree with AnnieD; you can't change human nature.
There is another negative side of the rating system where budding artist may become discouraged and dispondant at low scores and give up too early in their efforts. High scores, even if they're meaninless, is an encouragement.
I like coming the Rendo galleries because I see them as a brainstorming of artistic ideas. None are bad and all have potetial to be great. So under my criteria everyone who has made the effort (and put up with those really long render times. LOL) gets a 5.
I may however leave some suggestions in the comments area. But there I am more cautious because the words that we type never true express what we mean. We humans communicate with more than words. So communicating with just words alone is fraught with danger. What one may meant as just a jokingly friendly remark becomes something else without that face-to-face communication.
Anyhoot most of us know where our own art truely stand when we look at the work/effort of others (that is, if we have the courage to be honest with ourselves).
And if one truely feels the need to have one's work judged (and has the courage to allow it so), then there is always the competitions that Rendo hosts now and again.
You may note I used the word "courage", but the word "humility" is just as equal in this case. It depends on if your a person who see his beer glass as half full or half empty ;-)

No they are simply meaningless if there is no weight given to the rating system if people truly expect to improve and see a maeked improvement of their art then they will take the rating as to what they are.
Not every movie is rated 5 stars on amazon but I still buy it if I ike it.
Also since the rating are averaged overall nobody knows the axact score someone has gave you unless you tell them.
isn't that the point of rating something it is rthe same as "Favoriteing every image" it a nice gesture but it loses it's intended meaning when you do it with EVERY SINGLE IMAGE YOU LOOK AT"
this is not a SOCIAL NETWORK for the sake of acceptance as to how many VIRTUAL "friends" can I get it is supposed to be a place where those interested in art can come and display there work and talk to others of a like mind and basic intrest.
But through social engineering and cultural programming we have been taught if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all.
I post my work here to get feedback good and bad and to hear heartfelt comments and hopefully get people to think outside their "Box"

I do agree that it is difficult to convey what one means when not having the opputunity to also hear the inflection of their voice and see facial responses to their words. That just means that you need to think a bit before you leave a comment they may possibly interpeted as rude.
or write that person personally if you feel it may be taken the wrong way or misused against them.
I wil end this now as I wish to not be getting too argumentive about this.
BTW I do appreciate your comments I just hope to hear back from this site itself as to their feelings on the matter
Thank you all
Chris
