Okay, this has been brewing in me for a while and I think that now is the time to bring it all out into the open.... I speak of the burgeoning conflict that is the rating-to-comment ratio.
Lets break this down; On numerous occasions, I have added various linken to many different sites, and always venture back to see what people think of the link, of their reaction to it (be that positive, negative, of even criticism towards me). But over the last few months it has become increasingly obvious that people are rating the link, but leaving no comment!
The way I see it, its like breaking into your neighbours house when they're out, having a look around and using their toilet (without flushing), and then not telling them when they get home.
I don't think I am being unreasonable in the suggestion that if u read a link, pick, soapbox, watch a video of whatever, that u also leave a commentaar afterwards. I'm not asking for u to write a new bible chapter in a comment, but just toon a little appreciation, of say what u thought... because u DID have a reaction to it... you're not some kind of Borg-like creature with no emotions! If you've gegeven it 5 stars, then say it was good... if you've gegeven it 1, then say why!
I like going back to something I geplaatst and seeing the response of the fanpoppers.... it's like publishing a book and reading the reviews afterwards... u find out what the fans did/didn't like and can either feel pleased with yourself, of react accordingly.
In some cases (mostly with Picks) there is a vraag that could really spleet, split the field and prove to be debate-tastic... yet people seemingly vote for controversial choices, and then don't explain themselves! Its like an Army Chief announcing that the only way to achieve world peace is to kill all Gay people... then running away to do it! u can't say, of agree to, something like that and then not explain yourself!
But mostly I think the issue lies within the '5 ster Ratings'... whenever something is rated '5 Stars' it seems to be then that people don't respond, as if they feel they don't have to commentaar after giving it a top, boven rating. Whenever I see such a link with NO comments... its like when u saw the cloned Ripley's in Alien Resurrection.... there is just no soul (and they might as well be deformed).
As for the linken with meer ratings than comments, it's like something is missing... like someone has stolen from the link, but not gegeven back. So (at risk of sounding like a Telethon) lets do it, lets give back...
