I was wondering... What's the point in the Points System if we have the review ratio too?? I was happy with the R.R. and then I saw the points and got confuzzled :S
The points apply mostly to the people who take part in storybooks as it costs so many points to make a post there and so many to create a new storybook. They help to keep that area of the site under control.
Yes, so why do we need the Review Ratios too? I mean, having them is cool, but the 4:1 rule is dumb. Why should we do that? Everytime you post you have to work your guts off to make up for the dip in it. T post my fanfic I had to write about thirty-five reviews.
And Nate, I think 5:1 is too steep. New members are going to struggle to get it to that level. Come to think of it, so will I.
Pgsgirl7; there's an entire thread talking about why the introduction of the review ratios. ^^ Have a look at that one (It's still in The Information Desk, I believe) and then consider your questions again. Trust that Nate has reasons for the things he applies.
