I agree totally with KaVir and Zhiroc that rating systems normally only leads to people using the both extremes - very good or very bad.

KaVir's suggestion is an excellent one. Demanding that a review contains the strongest and weakest points of a Mud will at least ensure some sot of balance. They could pick from the categories suggested by Lasher, "Community", "Game Features", "Quality of Areas" etc.

I also agree with Zhiroc that no listed game should be allowed to shirk reviews. There is really no excuse left for allowing that, if this improved system for reviews, (inluding the possibility for the staff to post comments to a review), is implemented. And the mud owners should not be allowed to pick and choose what categories they want to be reviewed in either. If the system is going to be any good, it must be equal for all.

An addition like this could give the site a much bigger general interest, if implemented with integrity and equality.
