Rating Scale Standards

[maraman]

Would it be beneficial for reviewers to post their rating scale standards and have the MOD make it a "sticky" ?

When a reviewer posted a L/S/A as 7 / 8 / 7, they could simply link their personal rating scale to the review and we could get a sense for their ultimate experience (10's across the board) in comparison to the SP they reviewed. In our own minds, we all have impressions of what our own ultimate experience would be. I'd also like to see a heat factor index or satisfaction index.

The reason I ask is that not everyone's 10 is the same. IMHO....a 10 is rarely, if ever, achievable.

What are your thoughts ?

I don't care much for a points system. For one thing, it's way too subjective. One man's 9 is another's 6, etc. Also, a so-so looking lady who's a top performer will probably get higher scores on looks than she should, while a hottie who underperforms might charm some guys into overrating her performance. For another thing, scores can be demeaning to the ladies.

When I post reviews, I prefer to convey to the readers the overall atmosphere of the encounter. I don't get too graphic, but the readers can usually figure out what activities we engaged in, and decide for themselves. If I say a lot about how they look, it generally means they were hot; if I say very little, it means they weren't very good looking. If I sense a poor attitude, along with a lot of unexpected restrictions, I just say what they were, without trying to assign a score. What pisses me off might be acceptable to someone else.

If only there was a way to get all the rating scores into a database and display the average!

Hmm... now there's an idea!
