Restricting them could possibly discourage them from wanting to rate files in the future (then again, it may not). I do think the "3 or lower" rule is going too far. That would scare people into giving higher ratings, even if they really don't like the file.
As for the comment idea, it sounds good as long as people don't start making spam comments in order to give bad ratings. I for one do not want to see a repeat of FFR's simfile database (at least comments are reportable here).
I'm trying to make a compromise between this, but I don't know how well even that would work out. I guess it's up to the mods on how to do it, and determine what will work best. |
Well, you have the fortune of the fact that the "Songs you have not rated" list now exists, which I think was a suggestion I made some time ago. I'm glad to hear that you desire to rate sims, you're a fluke that I'm glad to have around if that's the case. But hey, you'll have that list that begs for ratings when you're capable of doing it. It may delay or even discourage, but my list of nonrated files is EMPTY, and I like it that way, perhaps some others out there are the same?
Though I feel two weeks is a bit too long. I'm still glad that such a change was made.
