Members TampaYankee Posted April 27, 2008 Members Posted April 27, 2008 Taking the pulse of the neighborhood... It has been brought to my attention by an interested member that the present ratings do not permit a 'Satisfactory' rating for those encounters which fall short of Great but don't warrant a 'negative' rating. Way back when...when I created the review page, I sort of considered 'Once Is Enough' to be the middle of the road 'satisfactory but no reason to repeat' option. I always interpreted 'Satisfactory' that way from the reviews I read. That was how I assessed my personal 'Satisfactory' hires. Maybe my perspective was too harsh. Maybe Once is Enough is right on but sounds more negative than intended. I did not have a negative intent in mind for it. Maybe I should rename 'Once is Enough' as 'Satisfactory' rather than make a new 'Satisfactory' category? I think five categories should suffice to capture all experiences. However would the renaming option change substantially mischaracterize reviews already cataloged? Any opinions? Quote

Tampa: I think changing to the name to satisfactory would be a good thing if that's what you intended that category to be. I think "once is enough" has a negative connotation, and for me, would be on the bad side of the middle for a rating. Quote

Guest epigonos Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 I like the idea of changing "Once Is Enough" to "Satisfactory". Something even shorter might be simply "OK" which would also be just fine with me. Quote
Members TampaYankee Posted May 14, 2008 Author Members Posted May 14, 2008 The ratings have been augmented to include 'Satisfactory' to the existing list. In the end it seemed better to add the new category rather than rename the existing 'Once is Enough'. Some suggested that 'Once is Enough' is more negative in tone, thus renaming could have upgraded a rating that some reviewers did not intend. Quote
Guest CTDick Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 I agree, TY, satisfactory does not have the negative connotation. Dick Quote
