STEX rating system

[ilikehotdogsalot 311]

well, i just thought of this thread because the rating system in the stex isn't really that helpful in my opinion. is there a difference between an 8 or a 9? a 5 or a 6? since the forum ratings have been deleted, can the stex ratings be altered? would it be too much trouble? i was thinking something like 4 choices:

1. Perfect!

2. Nice work!

3. Needs Improvement

4. Not functional

or something among those lines, what do you guys think?

I don't download based on it's ratings. I'm uh, how do you say?....

Selective?

The STeX rating can be confusing some times. Everyone aims to get 10 stars but they generally get 9 (the most common rating) so I agree, the rating should be changed.

Like a movie it should have five stars:

5-Flawless

4-Exceptional

3-Functional

2-Needs Work

1-Try Again

0-Not Functional

Most lots would fall into the 3-4 range.  Becuase the current 8-9 would become a 3 or 4 but the perfect five would be harder to give out.

i dont know...it is really hard to judge this work when ppl put their own time and hearts into making these BATs for free. Obviously some BATs are way better than others, and the comments system generally helps me decide whether or not to dowload a building, but i can pretty much discern whether or not ill be downloading a building from the picture.

also, the only buildings that ever get 10/10 are massive skyscrapers, which is dumb, because many smaller buildings deserve much more praise.
