^ totally agree, seems like a harmless addition not sure why people seem to be vehemently against it. I think Jazzarchives, the much smaller website even has that feature.

^ James Bond: The World Is Not Enough Wink

Sometimes hard and dramatic choices are more fun than the ones with nuances...

Even in a 100 point system, giving a 89 or 90 out of 100 can be a difficult choice and look wildly different to the eye. See? 89/100 vs. 90/100. Doesn't it look like there is a world of difference?

I don’t care about the stars at all. I wouldn’t care if PA had no stars. I definitely think fewer is better, so Paul’s adage that “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” applies here in my opinion. As has been said above, all you are doing is adding extra nuance, and if PA already had a 5 star system with half stars, the same people asking for half stars now, might be asking for the 5 star system to be changed to a 10 star system. It’s really not adding much value to the sight, in the same way changing the genres is - which is why I can see that genre changing is winning here.

The PA system is broken, when it comes to genres, but it’s never going to be fixed (or, at least, not in the way suggested in this poll). But, as this is a dream scenario, I guess I may as well put down for the genre change, I never search by genre on PA, because I know the results won’t give me what I want to see. If albums were tagged by genre, I quite possibly would search by genre. But that’s the only reason I’m voting for it, so hardly a strong one.

^ well to be fair, implementing half stars would effectively be the same as implementing a 10 star system. I'm curious what people think of the weighting system:

Rating=1
Review=10
Collaborator Review=20

I voted other. I want to see stronger social components where we can have a system of likes and comments directly on the reviews and GET THE NOTIFICATIONs. The current facebook plugin really doesn't do the job...

Yeah I would love a comment box on every album similar to what RYM has. easy way to discus albums or put brief thoughts that don't warrant a review or entire thread dedicated to it.

How? There is literally no difference between a 5 star rating system with half stars and a 10 star one.

I did wonder if I had not been clear. I meant replace the five and a half star system with a ten and a half star system.

Correct, but that is because you missed what I thought was clearly implicit in my sentence, but actually clearly was not.

Let me say it again, with the implied part made explicit.

If PA already had a 5 star system with half stars, the same people asking for half stars now, might be asking for the 5 star system with half stars to be changed to a 10 star system with half stars.

I really doubt that. Take RYM, for instance, which has a 5 star system with half stars. In the nearly 10 years since I started using it never have I seen anyone defending its conversion into a 10 star system as you imply.

In the forum world, if you're new and don't make it certain that you don't literally mean something like with smileys or the use of the language; you risk being taken seriously. Period.

No offence but the same guy posted this (the quote below) in a thread. So, I assure you it made perfect sense to me that he could be serious in this one too.
