Perhaps the problem lies with having too many options without any agreed upon standards. What's the difference between a 1 and a 2 star ride? Anecdotally it would seem like it's always going to be 5, 4, or 1. Seems like the 1-5 system is antiquated and needs to go.
- jimmaswell 12y agoI can easily think of what would make a ride differ between 1 2 3 4 and 5. I'm disturbed by the trend of ratings being reduced so that the reviewer doesn't have to put any thought into it. It's encouraging intellectual laziness. I felt the same about YouTube. If you must then maybe put suggestions next to the 1 through 5 ratings like NewGrounds does. I don't want to lose the ability to say something is average but not great or terrible, or between average and terrible, or between average and great.

- kevb 12y ago1 star (and 5 star) are always going to be the biggest buckets. Even if you try to be very fair and strict, what does a driver that doesn't show up get? 1 star. What about a driver that stabs you? 1 star. Crashes? 1 star. Gets lost and makes you late? 1 star. Smells bad and a bit rude, but gets you there on time? Maybe this is finally 2 stars. These are all bad, but getting stabbed is a lot worse than not showing up or getting lost. Likewise for 5 stars. Friendly, safe, on time, gives you a cold bottle of water, have a nice conversation. 4 or 5 stars. Chases you down with the bag you forgot in his car? 5 stars. You fall in love and get married? 5 stars.
- robryan 12y agoYeah, you have people giving a 5 for anything from a 2 to a 5 experience. Then you have people giving a 4 for anything but the most amazing ride they have ever been on.
