Subject: We Need a Better Rating System
Written By: zenarcade on 11/30/03 at 12:09 a.m.
8)Anyone else here think there should be more categories to rate a parody other than: pacing, how funny, and overall?
At the very least there should be a rating for creativity. So my idea is this: rate the pacing, funniness, and creativity, and the overall should be automatically determined. Raters should also be able to skip a category (for instance if a parody isn't meant to be funny)
Of course another problem is point of view. If the rater disagrees with the point of view they give low ratings (hence the 1 guy), but I guess there's no remedy for that. Another category could be worldliness: how up on the subject the author seems to be. Any other ideas?

Well, the rating system is certainly flawed, with the ones guy out there. I like the idea of skipping categories- I know many people don't vote because they haven't heard the original, and can't do the pacing.

Pacing is an integral part of a parody.
I think instead of "how funny" it should be an "impact" vote, as in "how did this parody affect you?"
You could conceivably force people to leave a comment with their vote, but that would decrease the number of people who'd want to vote because it's not a snap-snap process anymore.
