You should give the option to rate 7.5 8.5 etc..
for example, when the cursor of the mouse is above the rate 7 it should show 7.5 above it so I can move my mouse easily and choose it.
It could give more acuurate ratings. I find it sometimes hard to decide wether it's a 7 or an 8..

Two thumbs up.
Three stars.
Four stars.
Five stars.
IMDb gives 10.
Suggestion is twenty.
Now, .1. .2, .3
Where does the madness end? With hundreds or thousands of film ratings, how I keep track of what I rated when I rate a new one? Also, new system invalidates my last decade of ratings...do I start over? No.
Please don't change this...it's a horrible idea. There is no rational need for this. Ten options is enough, if not already over the top.

Ten is not enough. In addition, you may not hit 7.5 or any 0.5 if you don't want to. The idea is to integrate this option without harming the user-friendly UI. That is why I gave the suggestion to show (for example) 7.5 when your mouse points on 7. You don't have to put 20 visible options. Be logical :|

Be logical? Ten is enough for most people. I understand I don't have to give a .5 if I don't want to. But changing to allow them invalidates all ratings. I'd have to re-rate, as would everyone else...and of course, we won't so now nothing would be accurate.
Making them invisible changes nothing. I have no idea why you suggest that.
20 options is too many. After I've rated 1,000 titles, I have no idea what I've considered 6.5;to represent. The more options, the harder to remember. With 10 choices, I have an idea what each represents and know a 6 from 7. Nothing falls in between. 20 choices can't possibly end with any consistency...for most people.

No, you won't have to re-rate. If you rated 7, you can leave it 7. If you want to change you rating to 7.5 - you are welcome to do that.
It's invisible when you just look on the page. As I said, if you put your mouse pointer above one of the ratings, you will see right above your mouse pointer an option to rate it 7.5.
When people will rate they will notice that option.
There is not even one disadvantage with my idea. I guess you don't get me right and that's why you find it not necesery.

Not re-rating it would leave it inaccurate.
Invisible/not invisible is not an issue. It's still an of 20 or of ten system, regardless of how it's displayed. Besides, people need to know about it before they decide how to rate it. So making it invisible is a bad idea on top of a bad idea.
Funny how you have your opinion but mine means I am illogical or too stupid to understand you. I understand you...it's just a horrible, horrible idea. To say I could simply choose to use a different system than eceryone else doesn't help. We all would/should use the same system or it's meaningless (logic would dictate). If I took it upon myself to only vote 3, 6 or 9, while everyone uses the current scale, and I watch two films that, of ten, I'd give a 4, so I give one a 3 and the other a 6, I've just given two misleading, inaccurate ratings. We all need to be on the same page.

It's not accurate now. if people would rate it more accuraately it will be more accurate, I really don't get you man.
Listen, I probably know about that kind of stuff more then you do so try to understand what I am saying. People "hold" the rating in ther mind, they say that was a 7.5 movie, when they get the option to rate so - they will. It only requires once so pepole would notice that option, they can't rate without noticing that.
Just try to understand, if you can't then I am sorry, I have tried to explain it to you, I just can't keep trying, I have got stuff to do. Discuss the idea with a friend, maybe you will get why it can do no harm.

Wow. You're something else. I can only hope to be as smart as you.
This, by the way, has been discussed many times in the last decade on the Help Board. So, telling me to discuss it is uneccessary.
You said it's not accurate now because there are films that will fall in between 7 and 8. That will still be true. For instance someone already said to allow .1, .2, etc., will also be true if we have 1,000 options instead of his 100, or 10,000...Maybe with your superior intelligence, you could keep straight the difference and significance of rating 7.003 and 7.002, but for us morons, it's ridiculous. Terrible idea in my insignificant and illogical opinion.
But, of course being intelligent folks, we're above calling each other stupid, inthis discussion, right? But if your up for putting money on comparing scores on the online intelligence test of your choice, I'll be all for it.

IMDB does not take the average, they have their own formula.
bluesmanSF, Champion
That wasn't the point. Emperor was explaining the decimal point average ration. The formula is for good reason.
Emperor, Champion
Indeed. IMDB have their own algorithm that they don't discuss, but the principle will be the same.
Yes it wasn't the point. I just thought I was clear about it. Thanks for the replies.
