Why Ratings Are Not Objective.

Hi Buz,I agree, as this has been my experience on other forums. You also see ratings done by people who don't engage in the debate so that they are not "at risk" of having their POV destroyed.Personally, when I see ratings set up like this, and begging for such abuse, I figure that they are a good measure of how much I have annoyed people who like to be complacent in their views. If I get over 4 then I haven't annoyed enough people.Enjoy.

Maybe a grid? quality of writing and quality of content?

Yes so you know anyone with a grade 10 or higher should be able to comprehend what you say.My 11 is: Enjoy

Ah. My readability was 47, still well below sunday comics (which I'm not sure is a bad thing). I've been told that I need to write on a simpler level with a grade 5 target - to make sure my points get across. This is difficult to do when I already consider my points to be pretty simple.

might be interesting to have a "readability meter" for posts ...(as if you have nothing else to do)
