I get rating peoples shit ,  but whats with everyone getting 4-5 stars every time?  I've seen some 1- 2 star shit get 4-5 star ratings.  It really defeats the purpose.  I just want everyone to know its ok and betters the site if your honest with people instead of lying.  It will better the site if your honest about it. 

sorry just thought it needed to be said...

I'm talking about the obvious shit sky scrapur..The ones where people need to improve on but dont get no constructive feedbackI'm just saying not every OM is a 4-5 star drop it defeats the purpose of it..I'm trying to help and motivate people on the site.  I need improvement too.  I'm just trying to get people to be more honest.....Sky...I know you hating on me ever since I told you your battle verse was shitty and I voted against you.  Then you tried to label me the number one troll and refused my battle request...It's all good cus you got matched against me in the tag tourney....see you in the battlefield tough guy.  Or maybe it was the 2 KO's I already gave you....either way...See you soon

I think the problem here lies in the belief that ppl give out stars for
effort,rather than quality,stars should be there to strive for,like a
trophy and not as an aid to elevate,in short they should be used to
help writers have benchmarks to work from,it's about achievement
not elevation,though the 2 are closely linked there is a difference,one
is striving to reach a point (elevation),the other is when a point has
been reached (achievement),that's what ppl should keep in mind when
they give OM'S stars,and just to clear up somethings,any OM that's has
been given more than 2 stars is a decent piece,anything less than 2
doesn't mean it was terrible verse,it means you have some issues that
held the piece back i.e. structure,schemes,complexity,and even tempo,
so let's get this in order and this will help all using the om section.
..peace.

...wait...what?



Anyways, I 100% agree. I've seen some avg stuff get top flight ratings. I made a comment not long ago about Sammy's verse...it was a legit 5 star piece. But that piece didn't get the full on shine it deserved cuz so many other pieces receive that rating. It's a tough issue to fix or solve as it's peoples opinions.


Also Axy I'll see you in the tag battle arena today too lol

Late I know, but the ratings work far better if more people used them.

As it works on averages, if 5 people rate something 2 and one person rates it 5, it wont be effected as much as just one person voting.

People should also rate things honestly. If someone makes a blatantly bullshit vote - the mods have the ability to remove it.
