Ive already said before that people make their ratings after playing a game for a few minutes without putting too much thought behind it.
So it's not worth the effort trying to find the best system, just take it like a man if you get a bad rating. It means nothing.
To be honest, I don't really care about he stars, the just a row of silly pictures. It's peoples comments and the number of downloads that I'm interested in.
Idiots will always be idiots and there is little we can do about it aside from ignoring them.

You won't get a reason
Why should I give a reason? Because he wants one? Well I want a million bucks, will you give me that?

I said I was willing to be peaceful, but then I figured what's the point when others aren't willing to put in the work for a peaceful community too? "lolz"

There are some that are still trying. Relentlessly.

He doesn't have to give a reason for a bad rating any more than someone would have to give a reason for a good rating. There's no point for us to have a rating system at all if he has to write a long list of things he didn't like it. He thinks it's worth 0 stars, there, that's it. That opinion is worth no more than the person who thinks it's the greatest game in the world and deserves full marks.
If you really want to remove the 0 star rating, I'd suggest removing the 5 star one as well and tag all those people who seem to be rating everything 5 stars. Its unfairly "upvoting" a lot of bad games, which in effect lowers the rating of a truly good game.
When a game with 2 hours of gameplay gets voted higher than a game with 30 hours of gameplay, a spot on TIGSource, and a newspaper game review on it.. there's something wrong with the review system.

No, you should do it because it's the right thing to do. How can you expect your ratings to be credible if you do not give viable reasons for one.
"That opinion is worth no more than the person who thinks it's the greatest game in the world and deserves full marks."
So the opinion is now not worth anything Muz? Really? Because if that's the case then why the hell would anyone give ratings? For that matter, why are you still posting. You admit that there is something wrong with the rating system when a better game gets a lower rating, but you also want to justify the same type of thinking that creates those very same problems. I see what you mean by it's his right to vote however he wants. At the same time that still does not change the fact that he voted unfair. I can say this, because he has yet to give me a reason to believe otherwise.

Peaceful = everyone agrees with you?

Because having the admins police the ratings would be a silly thing to do.
