a simple system ranging from 0 to 5 stars, like on Youtube

As far as I know, Youtube does not do that anymore? (Just "Like" or "Dislike") I still prefer a "real" rating myself.

YT only has Like/Dislike now.

Okay fine, then the system that YT used to have.

Good idea, but you should probably moderate it for the reasons Mighty pointed out

For the most part that would be impossible. We have no control over what somebody clicks, and at that we have enough to deal with as it is. Like I said, it would be best if this wasn't even added it at all. For the better of AS.

Like I said, I think if we made this whole thing optional, no one would really have anything to complain about; if they got low ratings, they did ask for what people thought
It would really help people see their work in different ways, and therefore would help to improve work

Optional, yes! Like on YouTube. Good thinking, Sardonyx.

That might work. Still, I'm not keen on the idea.

Optional, yes, good idea.
Though I will use this for *some* rankings, so if you choose not to use it, then you may be ranked last on these.

Perhaps, to solve the "I DUNT WANNA GET 1 STAR!" issue, have it as an optional choice, if you want people to rate your work, then it's fine, if you don't; it's fine also.

That's what we've been saying

Ah yes. I only had a quick skip through so I missed half the thread.

I think a marking system would be good, but in a way, it could also be bad (mostly good though). After all, if someone on the site didn't like you, they could easily go into your art gallery and rate it low just because. I know from experience from jerks on Youtube.
