Perhaps, the grading should be separate from the test result submissions? I know a few times I've run a program under Wine and then only later looked up the entry on the appdb, by that stage I might not even be on the same PC, or have the time to submit a full test result, but I'd have a pretty good idea how I would rate it. It would be good if logged in users could just quickly say "Yes, I would give this gold status" then the final grade could be the average of the votes. Luke.
