    There are many forums that request rates of higher than 4 for writers to join. Forum owners don't know that most of our rates are at around 3 or 3 point something. So it is like we will never join forever.

    I am still happy that there are new forums coming up. :D

    Maybe we should revert to the original rating with 5.0 as highest so people wouldn't be mistaken. Is there someone here with an average rating of 5.0?

    I'm thinking about adding in some text to the forum settings area to let admins know how many users are in each rating group and what the recommended limit is. That should help to resolve this issue.

    I know, I've been itching to get onto that Muscle/Health/Exercise forum but I guess you need something higher than a 4.1 (?) I can't remember, I just know it's locked for me. I love talking about exercise and low-carb eating, etc. But that's okay, I'm happy with my dontpayfull and baby forum. Would love for Anxiety Community to come back, maybe it will some day. Someday. (Some day? Someday) Which one is correct? lol

    I've added some guideline info to the rating edit section so that should help. I'll see about sending an email or something with info for admins.

    My rating which was hitherto 4.1 is reduced to 4 by The Company Host giving me a rating of 3.9 with a comment "Overall really good stuff." If the stuff is good then why only 3.9 :p @KenBrace

    The admin selects a rating for several different features of your writing and then an average is working out from that by the system's algorithm. They may have chosen higher than 3.9 if they were just punching in a number.
