Get rid of the rating system?

This is simply my suggestion, that we get rid of the 1-5 rating system that appears at the side of people's poetry. It seems merely to serve the morons that go around rating everything 1 or 2 for no apparent reason. Either that or everything gets 5 stars, which renders the whole system equally meaningless. If people haven't got time to write a long comment, then they could simply put a comment in that is just their rating of the poem i.e. 5/5 4/5 3/5 etc. Or if they want to rate as well as comment, then they could just add the rating on at the end of the comment (as I have seen a couple of people do).

Then if idiots want to make a point, then they have to take the time to actually comment on a poem and satisfy their egos. Most of them won't have the patience to do that.

Just a suggestion.
