Improved rating system?

I hadn't noticed this thread. Ken., I think this is a very much welcome idea.

I think it doesn't have to be anything too complicated, just expanding the rating system to cover a few aspects like grammar and spelling, length and engagement. Or whatever few values you think Forum owners value the most.

I think it would be good to ditch the stars and just have in plain English from horrible to excellent.Something like horrible, poor, average, good, excellent.

That way each writer can have in their profiles how well they handle themselves in each field. This will let writers know what areas they need to work on and this will give forum owners tools to restrict access to the elements they care about, so for example:

Forum A wants someone with excellent engagement and is fine with just good length and spelling.
Forum B wants someone for new threads so engagement is not that important so will restrict to excellent spelling and length.
Forum C just uses a global good so everything must be that in order to qualify.


Writer 1 is rated good in all three fields, he is not high enough to qualify for anything but Forum C.
Writer 2, is excellent grammar and engagement and good length he can join forum A and Forum C.

 

No worries, man.
Hopefully, some of what I said can help at least to spark some ideas. In the end, I am just hoping to see this place getting better.
