Fair to Flair: A better ratings system
So now that I've decided to propose a new system, what challenges does that entail? Well, for one, stars are simple. People think they understand stars, even if they really don't, as they can easily mean one thing to the reviewer and another to the reader. If I'm going to change the way we do things, I have to improve the system in such a massive and obvious way that it would become ludicrous not to move to the new approach.
Thankfully, the star-rating system is so broken that it shouldn't be too hard.
This is going to be my last major wrestling argument for a while. You'll still see stuff from me, but every now and then I need to recharge the batteries. Hopefully it'll give people lots to think about. Also, there's a pretty active discussion against my argument over on Pulse Wrestling, where you can read all three essays in one post.
