Okay, this has been brewing in me for a while and I think that now is the time to bring it all out into the open.... I speak of the burgeoning conflict that is the rating-to-comment ratio.

Lets break this down; On numerous occasions, I have added various 링그 to many different sites, and always venture back to see what people think of the link, 또는 their reaction to it (be that positive, negative, 또는 even criticism towards me). But over the last few months it has become increasingly obvious that people are rating the link, but leaving no comment!

The way I see it, its like breaking into your neighbours house when they're out, having a look around and using their toilet (without flushing), and then not telling them when they get home.

I don't think I am being unreasonable in the suggestion that if 당신 read a link, pick, soapbox, watch a video 또는 whatever, that 당신 also leave a 코멘트 afterwards. I'm not asking for 당신 to write a new bible chapter in a comment, but just show a little appreciation, 또는 say what 당신 thought... because 당신 DID have a reaction to it... you're not some kind of Borg-like creature with no emotions! If you've given it 5 stars, then say it was good... if you've given it 1, then say why!

I like going back to something I 게시됨 and seeing the response of the fanpoppers.... it's like publishing a book and 읽기 the reviews afterwards... 당신 find out what the 팬 did/didn't like and can either feel pleased with yourself, 또는 react accordingly.

In some cases (mostly with Picks) there is a 질문 that could really 스플릿, 분할 the field and prove to be debate-tastic... yet people seemingly vote for controversial choices, and then don't explain themselves! Its like an Army Chief announcing that the only way to achieve world peace is to kill all Gay people... then running away to do it! 당신 can't say, 또는 agree to, something like that and then not explain yourself!

But mostly I think the issue lies within the '5 별, 스타 Ratings'... whenever something is rated '5 Stars' it seems to be then that people don't respond, as if they feel they don't have to 코멘트 after giving it a 상단, 맨 위로 rating. Whenever I see such a link with NO comments... its like when 당신 saw the cloned Ripley's in Alien Resurrection.... there is just no soul (and they might as well be deformed).

As for the 링그 with 더 많이 ratings than comments, it's like something is missing... like someone has stolen from the link, but not given back. So (at risk of sounding like a Telethon) lets do it, lets give back...
