@ianfontinell Yeah, without knowing WHAT is being rated, it is somewhat meaningless. Is it actually exceptionally poor content, or is it 2000 very small files thrown into a single directory, with names like "12345678-source.ts" which is fairly meaningless.
There's also the tendency, in my experience at least, for people to become blind to the numbers 2, 3, and 4. They either hate it (1) or love it (5).
The idea of doing away with it entirely and replacing it with being able to add a rating to a comment is a great one. This gives you the opportunity to say WHY you're rating it so. Perhaps even replace numbering with a simple thumbs up or thumbs down?
