nightbringer: all ratings are 4 or 2

nightbringer 10.07.19	Changing all my past rates to 4's and 2's increased my objectivity score from 69% to 84% LOL EDIT: 700 comments!
budgie 10.07.19	do you have a part of your brain missing or something
nightbringer 10.07.19	You might have to unpack that for me budgie
deathschool 10.07.19	Disgusting
nightbringer 10.07.19	freeing*
nightbringer 10.07.19	Might use 3's for placeholders when I'm undecided about whether I want to keep an album in the library.
GhandhiLion 10.07.19	Disgusting. If you don't use a 100 point system there is something wrong with you.
DoofDoof 10.07.19	It's a simple cistern you got going, good luck
Archelirion 10.07.19	I like this. Thought about doing a 5,3,1 system a few times before but ultimately I just end up 4'ing everything anyway. Hope this continues to work for you.
nightbringer 10.07.19	Thanks Archelirion! I considered a few different options. One is not to use any ratings at all. But I like using Sput to keep track of my library, especially since at present my music is split between a few different apps. Plus, it's nice to be able to give other users some sense of your taste, for rec purposes. I considered using 5's and 1's but to any users that don't know your system, that comes across very extreme and is prone to incite comments. 4's and 2's are more moderate.
nightbringer 10.07.19	Staff can keep their decimal points lol
Calc 10.08.19	rating music gives me night terrors so I might consider doing this too but with 3's and 3.5's
Emim 10.08.19	ok
Calc 10.08.19	and actually if you liked #1 try this. though it may be too hammy as you say it's heavily middle eastern inspired metal https://hago.bandcamp.com/releases
nightbringer 10.08.19	It's worth it Calc! And thanks for the rec. I'm taking a break from trying out new artists for a while but will come back to it in a few months!
Sinternet 10.08.19	imagine caring this much and letting a rating system affect you mentally
Demon of the Fall 10.08.19	Thanks for the Trentemoller heads-up, liked his/her/their stuff before. Weird one, I'd probably go with a 5, 4.5, 2.5 system which serves the purpose of rating the stuff you love and eliminates everything else without being overly harsh. Idk, not happening because I love rating shit. Good luck!
nightbringer 10.08.19	@Sint imagine thinking you know what is going on in my head based on one incredibly vague statement about my psychology.
anat 10.08.19	I personally opt for the 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0 system
nightbringer 10.08.19	@Demon, yeah that's another way to do it and maybe a less harsh way. But ah well, too much effort to change everything again!
Pikazilla 10.08.19	should just rate in 1s only
nightbringer 10.08.19	"This is a hard 1, this is a soft 1" ... yeah, does the job.
Gnocchi 10.08.19	You forgot the .5 bro
StarlessCore 10.08.19	Lol
JohnnyoftheWell 08.20.20	bump for this meme
nightbringer 08.20.20	Meme what now?
parksungjoon 08.20.20	lel
Colton 08.20.20	he can rate by 4s and 2s and tie his shoes
MillionDead 08.20.20	Is the prospect of having a nuanced opinion and a slightly more specific representation of that opinion stressful? lmao Cole
nightbringer 08.20.20	I rate the above post a 2.
DDDeftoneDDD 08.20.20	Criteria reported to the mods
nightbringer 08.20.20	I rate the mods a 2.
Colton 08.20.20	aren't there only 2 of them
nightbringer 08.20.20	Maybe. But if so their individual scores only add up to 4 so the system still works.
Colton 08.20.20	damn this is really foolproof eh
nightbringer 08.20.20	Yes. Your acknowledgment earns you a 4. Don't blow it. It's a steep fall from that score.
nightbringer 08.20.20	No 3.5 to soften your landing.
parksungjoon 08.20.20	>Is the prospect of having a nuanced opinion and a slightly more specific representation of that opinion stressful? waaah why dont you rate how i want you to rate
DDDeftoneDDD 08.20.20	Yes please
nightbringer 08.20.20	Ratings fascists everywhere!
sixdegrees 08.20.20	I rate this list a 2
Inoculaeted 08.20.20	46 and 2s**
MillionDead 08.20.20	"waaah why dont you rate how i want you to rate" Where did I say anything like that? He can do exactly what he wants, I just asked a question. lol
kalkwiese 08.31.21	I actually think this change in rating system is genius. Fuck rating tbh, art is so much more complex
nightbringer 08.31.21	Hah, thanks. Art is indeed complex. Judging one piece of art relative to another certainly is. I prefer to use a rating system that doesn't even pretend to be able to capture that complexity.
