→Response to Rating Criticism: reduntant text removal
:::Made some changes that might make things moot, but came up with an argument for considering balance in ratings that I thought I'd put down anyway.
:::Since one of our primary goals is to get people balanced, reviewed material that is appropriate for their game, we ''can't'' exclude the intended balance of the work when we rate. Otherwise we wind up potentially downrating material that might be fine for their games just because it isnThe alternative let't what we would prefer in our own balance games. I don't want s Ghost downrating , for example, downrate VH material because he can't stand VH games, it . Or MS downrate L or M material because he thinks those games are jokes. And that sort of thing does a disservice to that the material and itself as well as to the users who come here looking for material in that material. Similarly, I don't want people downrating L or M material because they think those games are jokesbalance range. If we consider them valid play styles as a wiki, then we have to support that in the ratings by not letting ''anyone'' downrate them for not being their preferred balance. Otherwise we make it look like there's no quality material for those users here and the whole concept of rating to weed the good from the bad fails up front.
:::So if you think this is a crap option for M or broken in some way, that's grounds for a hate because people who want to use M material with their clerics (because they want to make the Fighters feel nice or whatever) shouldn't take it. If you just hate it because it's not a spell that an optimized well played cleric would take, I'd argue that's not something that should be in a rating at all. - [[User:Tarkisflux|Tarkisflux]] <sup>[[User talk:Tarkisflux|Talk]]</sup> 23:38, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
