We have had problems in the past with people doing "malicious drive-by rating nasties" or whatever you want to call it. Plus people who leave bad rating and then glowing reviews (two-faced people).

We know who left a rating, plus little details like when they read a story, how long the gap was from them loading the story to leaving a rating (did they have time to read the story?), how many chapters they read (and when, of course).

You can see a list of the last 10 stories read on the bottom of the right panel when reading a story. If you're a "supporter" (i.e. have been kind enough to donate to the site, or to help keep it running) then you have access to a lot more information in your control panel. Check "Browsing History".

Thank you Robbie. How cool!

I had no idea that Browsing History thing was there. I just spent about half an hour going through and rating stories that I loved but never got around to rating. Thank you so much, Robbie. What a nifty gizmo!

You're welcome...

I love getting star ratings as I feel it is a way to maybe get a more honest viewpoint as you don't know who left them. I admit only getting 2 stars can be disapointing,but fair enough if the person dislikes the story and I can think that maybe I can do better next time. A five star rating feels like a nice present.

If you read what the ratings mean,though, a story has to be very good indeed to get 5 stars.

I wish more sites had star ratings.
