Didn't read through any of the comments, but my guess is every single admin/mod is against the idea.

I can't blame them.
Even though I like the idea of half stars, (in my opinion out of 10 is much better than out of 5) it's too late. I mean first you'd have to make the new rating system and the bigger issue they would have to go through EVERY album and change the ratings. Can't have some out of 5 and new ones out of 10.....

It would just be impossibly difficult.
However, that is reality....for the pure sake of discussion I like the idea of a half star system.

^ If we simply added half stars we wouldn't have to change anything if we didn't want to.

I guess. But still it would be off wouldn't it? The fact all those are rated under the old system.
Dont get me wrong, I like the idea. Just there is a better chance of a snowball surviving in Hell then this happening.
Seriously, I have never seen anyone on top be open to any change, especially a drastic one like this.
Not to mention reviewing is a HUGE thing to a lot of people.

I like the half star idea, but the rating system is fine really. Besides, hate to be the balloon popper, but there's no point to this...it will not be changed.

^ What JJLehto says is correct; nobody higher-up cares about this, and it's just not necessary. So why would they change something like the rating system when most people are fine with it just the way it is?

Oh, and by the way . . . while I would much prefer a half-star system, I am still one of those people who are fine with the rating system as it already stands!

I'm on your side, but it just isn't a huge concern, I'm afraid. The site runners here are more concerned with really important things, like . . . . erm . . . like re-arranging the artist page layouts and changing font styles! Now, THAT's real work there, my friend! Wink

Yeah....
I mean I've had struggles deciding between 4 and 5 stars. If you're having a tough time deciding.....better just go with 4 stars.
Really not an issue.

What grinds my gears WAY more than the rating system is why some bands are even listed on this place and why there is no "Prog Album" section.
