1. No ratings systems... ever... there are too many authors here with high hit counts (some I don't know WHY) that would bias the rating, and every website that uses a +/- or a like system ends up getting abused and going to hell in a handbasket.
2. See #1, particular the biasing from high hit counts, which would in turn FURTHER prevent new authors from getting readers
3. Interesting, but difficult to police because we mods would have to investigate every stories tags for content
Are far as quality going down? I've been seeing people say that ever since I first found this site! I do have some various thoughts, but it isn't appropriate to air them publicly or privately.
