@Alan That's a good point - and we are equally as cautious about rating systems as you are.
There are a couple of approaches which can make this a bit better - e.g. Stackoverflow.com requires you to have a certain status (measured by past activity) to be able to rate. This puts at least a filter to completely random ratings. Other approaches include designs which use sliderbars instead of static 1-5 or up/down ratings. To be frank - We don't know what the answer is here. But we are willing to try, learn, iterate and improve. :) I believe we do need a system which allows good ideas to bubble up - otherwise you end up with an ocean of noise where it's hard to spot the raw diamonds. I would love to get your (and the wider communities) feedback on this and other topics around Chocolate Factory.
