But it could make new scratchers feel bad when they see people rated their project 1 star.

Re: rating

thats why you can disable it and to the second person who posted, it could also help you know if people like your projects though on a scale rather then a general good

It's not necessary, and people could still get their feelings hurt. Remember, there are young kids here.

Re: rating

They have already said no.

5. 1-5 Stars

My first update! (Yeah, like you care.) I saw two instances of it on the suggestions area, which prompted me to place it here... it's been around already, but it's about time the answer was known.

I browsed around the different topics, and it wasn't long before there was the answer:

The Scratch Team has already said no because they think that then new programmers will be discouarged that people rated it 1 so they leave Scratch. I wish they would add it.

To be honest, I never thought of that. *blush*. But that's true... think from a new user's perspective. You upload your first project, and Whoo-Hoo! It's on! You wait eagerly for any response, and what you see is a 1 star rating.
"Oh, that's nice," you think, before putting down a bunch of angry replies (if you've noticed the reply feature, that is).

Here's something else:

That would be cool! Rate whatever they think of the project and there could be a highest rated spot on the front page...

1 person rates 5 stars and nobody else has rated it - instant front page.
It should have to have 9< ratings to be eligible for the front page.

The-Whiz replied...

The-Whiz wrote:

How about it has to have 10 or more ratings to be on the front page and it starts out as a 5?

Or when you rate it it adds to a mass total, and it automatically rates it 1 if you don't rate it...

So:
Project A: 5
Project B: 5
Someone rates project a 2 and Project B 4:
Project A: 7
Project B: 9

And so on.

That seems a bit complicated (or maybe I'm just a bit dim  tongue ). But there's that post about the Scratch Team's reason, and they're the ones who decide.

But the rating could be disabled automatically.
