Hello everyone.

     Although I don't need to know who submitted each rating of my contributions, I hope ShareCG is keeping track of it.  One potential problem of not keeping track is personal attacks on a member through ratings.   If I was mad at someone, could I rate each of their submissions at 0, 100 times each?  I hope not!  Also, if one person is rating all submissions of anything that competes with their submission at 0, then all of his or her ratings should be deleted from the system.

I do believe that adding a comment for the reason for any rating is a good idea, and that both the uploader, and anyone else who visits the site should be able to read them.  The low rating could have nothing to do with the actual submission, but how it is presented.  I cannot tell you how many times I have followed a link to a free 3D model, only to find out that I downloaded a texture to a model that someone sells at another web site.  I would be tempted to give it a 0 rating, no matter how good the texture was, simply because the download was a useless waste of my time.  Sometimes this deception is accidental, and the person who submitted the item to ShareCG should change the item description.  Sometimes the deception is deliberate, and anyone visiting ShareCG should be warned.
