Probably it needs revision, for multiple reasons, but I'd rather avoid that so read it as-is. Also, it explains why some people have accused me of low-rating.

ALL. FUCKING. DAY. Every G-d damned day.

Using a 1-10 rating system the way a 1-10 rating system is supposed to be used is not low voting. 1 is absolutely incomprehensible garbage, 5 is mediocre, and 10 is perfect. You scale everything else between. A 7 on a 1-10 scale is REALLY good.

Honestly, I'm ecstatic that the old inflated scoring is gone. I've railed against it for YEARS now. It's why the ESL/Star Ratings got so fucked up as to be useless. To the point where someone like Orthadox has an ESL of 8.35. If people are ranking correctly now the system should start to adjust and correctly reflect a users skill level.

Let's be real, go look at my last text battle and tell me if you can HONESTLY say that you think I deserve to have a 7.82 out of 10 skill level. Because I'll readily admit that it should be a 6 at the maximum. And that's probably being generous still.

I've read some incredible battles and seen people rating 6's and 7's. The same people will rate 6's and 7's on a decent verse. There is no consistency, it's as if they max out at 7 and will never give anything higher than that. If you want to utilise the whole 10 point scoring system then fair enough, but never giving any higher than a 7 is still not utilising the whole 10 points.

I agree that it has to be consistent. Or, at least as consistent as is possible in such a subjective medium. If people are just not voting above a 7 or not utilizing anything below a 6-7 then it certainly does present a problem that should be attempted to be remedied somehow.
