Re: MUD Reviews
If you're going to use a rating system, I'd rather not have something where people can give 10 (or 1) in everything, otherwise that's what most of them will do. Instead, I'd rather see one of the following:
1. Each review has 100 points to distribute among the different categories (and all 100 MUST be distributed). This doesn't represent how good a mud is compared to other muds, but instead represents how good certain aspects of a mud are compared with other aspects of the same mud.
2. Each reviewer can choose to rate up to 3 categories as 'strong', but must also rate the same number of other categories as 'weak'. Negative reviewers who aren't willing to recognise any good things about the mud are therefore not allowed to rate what they perceive as the bad things, and vice versa. Once again the 'weak' ratings don't necessarily mean that the mud is bad in that category compared to other muds, only that the mud is stronger in other areas.
