Message BVery beers 13631 º places 750 º 21:36 Sat 11/4/2017 Originally posted by Viper666 We need 3 separate folders: Ratings (reviews ticks), Reviews only and Ticks only No, we don't. We need text to be optional, and everything counts the same. Then we get user volume, which gets us a more current database, more active forums, more trading, maybe more premium fees to give us more tech support, more reviews (yes, many will be ticks - that's okay). When you search for a beer, list the ones with 75 characters or whatever first so we can easily see the text we want to see, and put the tick-only scores below those. Honestly, who has time to read more than 5-10 full reviews anyway (in typical settings) - we don't need to be batting 1.000 on reviews with 75 characters. Most of them read pretty similarly anyway, after you've read a handful. No, that doesn't make us Untappd. It makes us better, because 1) we still have a history of doing full reviews and many still will, 2) we have stats and maps, and 3) we have forums. With more user volume, this would give us a chance to compete on database completeness vs. UT, and extend our advantages on the stats (vs. both UT and BA), and compete (vs. BA) / extend (vs. UT) on the forums front. In crowd-sourced amateur reviews, volume matters. A lot. We need it.

Nicely put I'd rather see Viper666's idea come to life but I think that -unfortunately- BVery is right and the only way to get the volume we need is to say that thoughtless ticks are equal of thought through ratings / reviews. A sad thing to conclude but it appears there's no other way.

Message BVery beers 13631 º places 750 º 06:04 Sun 11/5/2017 Benzai, I don't love my conclusion either, but it is my conclusion based on what I'm observing. I think the upside outweighs the downside.

A sad thing to conclude but it appears there's no other way. Why do you assume a Tick is thoughtless, many may be, but many others may not be There many things that can be critisised looked down on. What you rated a beer while eating Oh you rated a pale lager after a stout what you rated from a 2oz pour oh you rated more than 10 beers Its easy to pick holes in other
