actually, what started as friendship sex, turned into a relationship for me, culminating in a marriage, so as you can see, there are two sides to this coin.
all kidding aside, i wasn't around for the rule change about commenting if a 1 or 2 was scored, but i WAS here, and supported the change to comments when 3s were scored... and i remember the issue at the time, 3 bombs - that is, scores of 3 that were given, not because the story earned it, but because people were trying to knock other authors scores down thereby elevating their own rankings. i don't regret my support of the ruling, that said, yeah, it's sort of gone the other way - how soon before we are complaining about 4 bombers? i'm not sure i like the 1-5 system as it stands, maybe it really would be better to have a 1-10? that way we'd only complain about a 5 or lower? or maybe a 6? might help matter some? i don't know, maybe just a 3 scores...

Oh should it be a 7 or an 8.. I can't decide.. maybe we need to go to 20.
i'm still pushing for a range of 1 - 100 with DECIMALS! all stories start at 100 and for everything we don't like about them, they lose a point AND grammar and spelling and typos each detract a score of .01! it's brilliant!
