  1. 29-Drive-by ratings only affect my fiction and therefore it's an unequal contest
  2. 21-Negative feedback is inherently bad
  3. 2-The number of chapters read is linearly proportional with how well-formed a readers opinion is
  4. 13-Having a low average rating means readers dismiss my novel then they go do something else other than reading
  5. 28-Removing some top percentile of ratings totally makes sense"
  6. 27-What do you mean readers would just raise the bar? That's absolutely not how it works, that's why users draw the line at the neutral unbiased mean of 2.75 stars
  7. 26-okay, but having less negative ratings would make it so users give more stories a chance
  8. 14-Giving readers reading suggestions irrespective of other readers opinions does not result in a worse experience
  9. 7-We need more five star ratings
  10. 20-okay, but there is only bias when talking about ratings less than 3 stars
  11. 24-okay, but authors would never abuse it to create an unequal situation by using varying levels of aggressive tactics to coerce feedback
  12. 12-It is a bad thing that higher ranked fictions get more views
  13. 25-Everyone having less negative ratings would improve everyone's rankings"
  14. 22-You can evaluate subjective quality/suitability based only on positive feedback
  15. 23-okay, but you can objectively evaluate it based on the percentage of readers willing to give positive feedback
  16. 30-Using median instead of mean in a system with a bias factor of 20x makes perfect sense
  17. 16-Ratings affect visibility on all lists
  18. 19-There is only bias when talking about 0.5 star ratings
  19. 5-Reminding readers to rate or review would lead to an objectively better rating system
  20. 11-You can give ideal personalised suggestions
  21. 8-Removing ratings completely is beneficial to authors
  22. 1-Ratings under 4 stars mean death because that's what the users decided to draw the line at
  23. 18-A 0.5 star rating is never justifiable
  24. 4-okay, but once it's implemented, it'd be a fool-proof way to prevent drive-by ratings. Users would absolutely not do their best to bypass it
  25. 3-okay, but it'd be trivial to weigh ratings based on at least the first 10 chapter reads
  26. 10-You can give ideal personalised suggestions without ratings
  27. 9-Removing ratings completely is beneficial to readers
  28. 15-It's RR's fault that getting traction as a new author is hard
  29. 6-The rating system behaves differently from a binary rating system mathematically
  30. 17-Okay, but RR doesn't actually try to provide lists not based on ratings
