Like I said, attaching a verbal meaning to each point in the scale decreases this abuse. At least according to
this article. So there is a difference in rating systems. Not everyone thinks of stars in terms of excellent, good, mediocre, etc. like you do. But if they would, that would help. RPGNet determines those labels for you and apparently it helps.
I didn't start this thread to change the rating system of VGMdb. I'm just interested in the subject in general. But if it's a viable option, of course we can think about changes to VGMdb's rating system too.

I like this. Do you use this approach anywhere? Is it difficult not to have 0 stars or some option for "average"?
