[thesite] Rating Articles .. Whatcha think ?

[Madhu Menon]

At 09:04 AM 11/16/2001, the great Rudy spake thus:

> >      1 (bad)    2 (poor)    3 (good)    4 (excellent)    5(outstanding)

How about:

1) Poor 2) Average 3) Good 4) Very good 5) Excellent

I have bad experiences with having both "excellent" and "outstanding". From 
what I've learnt doing countless pointless performance reviews, very few 
people even know the distinction between "excellent" and "outstanding" (I 
still don't).

If you keep 'em both, you'll only encourage more "4" ratings. Trust me.

(Of course, I'd argue for a three point rating scale because the real 
losers will already have been weeded out by admin, but it's a bit too late 
for that)

And for those who suggested Rad, Lame, Killer, etc., here are some of you 
ideas:

1) Ghatiya 2) Ganda 3) Thheek 4) achha 5) Bahut achha

Know what that means? (it's in Hindi) Now you get my point ;)
