softswap's blog post - Why bother with ratings?

Thursday, February 12, 2015, 1:03:13 PM
Why do they even have ratings on the site anymore? Can anyone find a picture anywhere (since they changed to the new rating system) that isn't 'Insanely Hot'? Back in the day when they had a 1 -10 system you had people who would jusy down vote everyone and that wasn't cool and those old pics are the only ones that aren't Insanely Hot. I guess the administrators didn't want people to be upset and also, when you think of it, it's subconciously makes one think everyone on the site is hot and this is a great place to be. Now having said that, it *is* a great place to be, I am not trying ot say it isn't. I just think the rating system is meaningless now as every pic is rated the same. I understand it will always be there as it makes people feel they are interacting with the site and the people in the pictures. Just my thoughts.

I don't love the rating system. It's surely not why I post pictures! I don't even pay attention to the numbers. Having just looked though, I have pictures that aren't tagged as "Insanely hot". Quite a few, actually.

And every one of your pics that isn't 'insanely hot' is at least 432 days old! Before they changed the system; my exact point. Every pic since they changed the rating system is, in fact, 'insanely hot'. BUZZZZZ. Thanks, for playing, now here's Johnny to describe your parting gifts... (BTW, the pics *are* hot as hell.) :-)

OK, I guess I am confused....because I don't know the old rating system. :) I thought the challenge was just to find one that wasn't labeled "insanely hot". Darn it. But I'll take those parting gifts! ;) xo
