    Dark Lord Potter uses a whole number system from 1 to 5.
    Rating something 3.5, or any other decimal for that matter, makes no sense.
    That is all.

    Only the star system uses 1-to-5 ratings. We rate a story based on how much we liked it. I for one prefer the /10 rating, but most of us make do with what we have. Not everyone just watches the stars. Some actually make an attempt to read the reviews before trying a fic.

    For your information, 3.5 does indeed make sense. It's called a fraction, nigger. Looks like somebody flunked some kindergarten lessons.

    Your name makes no sense either, btw. Didn't make you stop using it, did it?

    Really, as said above, this is a completely and totally useless thread.

    People use those ratings to show what they personally think of the story- They aren't looking for the imaginary "3.5" choice.

    I rate this thread a .06/5

    Applying a numeric value to an intangible, such as the amount you enjoyed a fic, makes no sense.

    That is all.
