I think a 10 stars rating would be perfect (and that's why I like the IMDB). 5 is not enough.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[I think that a paid membership is not exactly the way to go... Then (especially if the site changes hands, as did brickfilms.com several times) things could become unfair... Though, you do need money to keep a website up.

On the issue of this thread, however, I agree. There should be a new rating system. Maybe even one with a "letter" rating. (i.e. G, PG, PG-13, R) Though, it would have to be different, as to avoid a strong letter from the MPAA. ( lol )

I like the limit of a 5 star rating... 10 IS a little too much.

As for user ratings... Things would get too messy, I can already picture it. (Nothing against myself, but even I "manage" two accounts. Though, because the other is for my little brother, I only use it when he's around to actively participate) However, others would/could do this and "cheat" by giving their videos 5 stars...

However, a ratings board is a good idea. (Even if a new one) Maybe, as a test, you could put out a poll. And, those who passed it would be able to be members... Then instead of a "staff review" there could be specific reviews from "brickfilm critics" as I tried to do with my series (now on hiatus) CinematiCritics...

Either way, I do think something needs to be done... Even if it's to let everyone be a "critic," and find the average from all of the ratings (similar to how the current "stars" rating system works. :) Then there could be user reviews, ranging from the Roger Ebert's (heads of staff like Smeagol) to the generic paper reviewers (members).]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Haha, naive me from March of last year. I've never had so little free time in a summer in my life.

10-star doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Usually film reviewers rate out of 4 or out of 5 stars.

I would be interested in maybe making the more detailed ratings no longer staff-specific, because we don't have a review panel anymore. I think though that this would result in a lot of ridiculousness from less mature folks. Perhaps we'd need criteria of some sort, or a paid membership to be allowed to rate films? I'm just wanting a way to weed out people making multiple accounts, kids rating up their own movies, that kind of thing.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Since it's getting brought up in other places I thought I might bump this thread, not to put pressure on anyone, I know life gets busy. I think a lot of people agree an updated rating system is in order, one that only requires staff to review the really good brickfilms. What I really want back is the list of recommended films, I'm sure I'm not the only one who misses having one place where you can find all the best brickfilms. I'm thinking that a new system would require staff to at first take a quick look at a film, and if it's obviously not worth reviewing, then they can move on to the next one. :)]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Personally I like the idea - add in quotes from members reviews and you a new review panel-ish thing. It'd encourage members to write better reviews and cut back on the job of the review panelists. MPFist0 and Vik are two prime examples of excellent member reviewers.

Just a thought.]]></content>
