I don’t really read other peoples ratings besides the ones like 2pac and honest_silu. Problem solved.

I wouldn’t say I seek any out, but I see them as I go to enter a beer I’ve rated, etc., or if I’m editing a beer via admin duties. Or if I’m scoping out a new brewery and I see a person rated a bunch so they’re all on top. I dunno.

Scones.

Annoying sometimes yes. Like many many other things. On the Dutch forum we have a special thread for these annoyances called something like "Ratebeer irritations". And just to make sure I don’t get deleted: no, it is not about complains about the website, it’s about all things that can possibly irritate users, from bad, incorrect or stupid ratings from other users to admin decisions they disagree with to website features that work or don’t work.
