I don't want to sound harsh and if this is in the wrong area, please feel free to move this to where it needs to be.
Anyway, I've been posting a few times in the "Rate the Signature Above You" game, and I'm really tired of people giving out perfect scores ALL THE TIME. To tell you the truth, it's just not realistic, and writing just the rating (10/10) is considered to be spam...at least that's what I think.
Here's a good way to rate, whatever it is you may be rating (from Kh2.co.uk)
Color: How's the color scheme, and do the colors go together? Stock Choice/Cutting: Is the stock ragged looking, or perhaps out of place? And is it a nice use of stock, or is it random? Text: Spelling errors are annoying. Technique: How technical is the *thing you are rating*...does it look like they put a lot of time into it, or does it look like a bunch of pictures put together (this relates to siggies and avatars). Quality of Image: is the stock all fuzzy, or pixelated looking? Hmm, you may wanna think about that. Overall: This is your overall impression of whatever you're rating. Say what you want, and possibly give advice to help improve the thing you are rating.
You don't necessarily have to write this every single time you rate something, just keep these things in mind when you are rating.

But doesn't that take out all the fun?

But doesn't that take out all the fun? I guess...but then what's the point of doing it, if you just know that you'll get a 10/10? That's really not rating at all.

Thank you so much! I agree with you so many times over. I've noticed that people just post in the rating threads to get responses such as "10/10 Nice avatar" and then the next person gets a similar response and thus continues the postwhoring cycle. Now people should really take the time to critique the previous sig/av.
edit: Exalt pour toi!

I might actually try using that system! It is annoying how people always give out perfect scores for no reason *coughidoittosometimescough* I think this will make the rating a lot better...now if only we could get everyone to read this.

I was thinking, could we change the category "typos" to "text"? It's not very common that you see typos in a sig or av, but sometimes the text is way pixely or an icky color, which would probably be the better thing to rate.

I chaned it, and trust me, I've seen typos in siggies and avatar and it's one of my biggest pet peeves. Oh, and I added "Quality of Image" too ^_^ Thanks for the Karma! And I exalt you for supporting me...so, how do we get people to read this?

Well, apparentally we didn't get our point across enough. I think that we should remind people about the rules when they post in the old form, like I did in the threads. Another reason why I am going to love these new rules: no more deducting points from people just because they don't know who the person in your sig is. '-_-

I appreciate the new guidelines (even though I'm guilty of falling in love with Irrel/SpiritZK's new sig and rating it 1 million/10 ) and understand how ludicrous it is to consistently post perfect scores simply out of fear of pi$$ing off the person before you. . . but I'm simply not very image-savvy, as you guys and others clearly are. Perhaps we could maintain the double standard? Or simply start a new thread for img-connoisseurs to do more serious & in-depth rating?

It'd be the "Rate the Signature Above You, Ver. 2.0" or something...actually, that's not a bad idea for those of us who want to take it more seriously.

I'll start it, but I think we should combine it into one, to rate both the avatar and signature, just so that we don't make a ton of double threads.

:3 I just want to say that I love all the way the awesome people are rating stuff in Version 2. You guys are my heroes. Especially Awapuhi, you have no idea how much your feedback will help me out in my future colorbar-making. I would post this in the v.2 thread, but I don't want to rate the sigs made by me, that would be way awkward. >_>
