The "rating" system. - Elektrisk - 04-23-2010

Hello.

Does anyone else find the "rating" system to be a bit too shallow to effectively describe someone's artwork? I mean, what does saying "5/10" tell someone? It could be their font, the lighting, the color usage, or anything that's wrong with their artwork. I don't see how giving a rating, X/X, tells them anything. Imo, the only way a "rating" is helpful is if you write a paragraph or so explaining what is good and what is bad about their graphic(s). Does anyone else view these people who just jump in a thread, post "10/10!" and leave as spammers?

So, the main question is.. what, in your eyes, is an effective "rating" system?

I totally agree...

When ever I leave feedback I explain why I like/dislike the image.. I try to give them ways
of improving, and then I rate it from 1-10.

I think it's important to give actual feedback rather than just a number rating.. Because you're right, that could mean anything..

I agree with your statement Elektrisk.

When I usually rate I try to come with two or more reasons for that rating.

I usually say if I like the artwork overall and specific elements which I don't like as much. Then I provide a rating.
