Me and Rantent have come to a mutual consensus that simple scale ratings will no longer be allowed in the terrain forum.
We hope that this will encourage constructive criticism, as opposed to simple ratings, and will hopefully stem arguments over poor ratings between usually mature members.

QUOTE(Rantent & Syphon)
Effective immediately, there is a ban on rating a terrain using a numerical scale. This means that you cannot post 1/10, or any such ratio, and that posts should be more descriptive of specific problems that exist in, and praises to each terrain piece. Ratings with equally simplistic structure and/or form will be considered the same as one or two word spam posts.

does this mean you can't add a rating to an accepatably descriptive post? or are you just forbidden to say:

Yes.
If you were to add constructive criticisms to it, and then write 5/10, such as;
"You can clearly see blockiness 'here and here', and there are better tiles to blend with that. It's nice, but some parts might need complete overhauling. 5/10"

He means that you should make posts with constructive critism, and you can add a rating if you feel like.

Though I am actually fine with this, I guess some people might not recall this rule when posting. I suggest not to be too harsh in the first time, some might post "5/10" because they are used to it.

Could you choose a different font colour for the rule? Sheesh.
