I propose we get rid of the 5 star rating system and implement a YouTube style Like/Dislike system... at least something a little less arbitrary.

I mean what's your problem? I tab the lead most of the time, and it's correct. Don't give me a 1 or 2 because I didn't do the rhythm and bass. :|

Oh, quit yer whinin' :) You only have 3 votes out of 80 that are less than 4 star, and they're all by different users so I don't think anyone's out to get you. Seriously though, if you guys have concerns about the way voting is handled, chat it out and let me know what you want to do with it. I'll get it put on my to do list.

If not for ash and his legit stats, I would have totally came in and took the credit for every horrible rating someone has ever gotten on their precious tab.

I offer this observation if nothing else:

Work input to a tab will always receive a variable output of ratings, regardless of the type and classification of the tab.

Dealwithit.

But you can keep whining about the irc community, by all means I enjoy that.

Also if you look at the top tabs on the site by review score it becomes pretty obvious that a lot of people are scoring based on how hard the song is and not how good the tab is.

I'm not really sure what you're implying by posting the number of tabs officially submitted by users.

I get of the general impression that you're saying "Bacardi has the most submitted tabs therefore she is entitled to a better score," but that doesn't make much sense to me since I just made a statement of how work input is directly related on output per tab. This doesn't apply to any set group.

Or maybe it could be "The people in this thread don't deserve to be commenting because they haven't submitted as many tabs as bacardi," but that doesn't make sense either, since you're commenting.

Secondly, the top tab section isn't much of an accurate representation of general tab rating.

I don't really think the scoring system really adds anything. It's about as meaningful as game or film scores.

The feedback people bother to type out is much more useful than the scores themselves for tabbers to improve.
