Thats a lot to respond to. Not that I disagree. But for a lot of what you said there is a counter argument. And it comes down to which will have the bigger effect and will that effect be for better or worse. I'll have to come back when I have time to sit down and break it down.

But for now. Do you agree or disagree that (for argument sake) removing the rating scale will reduce a lot of the arguing/accusations of hate voting. Do you agree or diagree that the majority of people see numbers before they see words when it comes to having their work or other work judged? (It' a convenience thing)

People don't even use the rating scale properly anyway. You know this. I know this. Everyone knows this. People hand out 10's like candy on the track section no matter how poorly executed the piece in question is. So whats the point? It has, still is, and always will be manipulated. there's no truth to the system. This system pushes the shite above the great. It's a system tailor made for back scratching and false plaudits and to gain unjustified high rankings. Without it and with a VP system in place, it wont be perfect. what system is? but it will a million times more fair and accurate than what we currently have.
