1-5 stars is one of the worst voting methods in existence. It does not help the consumer, pretty much ever.
What the star system does is the following:
- 1 star - "This actually doesn't do almost anything it claims, and is buggy"
- 1 star - "The dev didn't answer a question I had within 4 hours"
- 1 star - "I installed it incorrectly"
- 1 star - "This competes with the addon I wrote"
- 1 star - "After installing it, my 73 other addons stopped working"
- 1 star - "The dev called me a bitch"
- 2 stars - "2 stars means nothing except that I'm an idiot."
- 2 stars - "I mis-clicked, tried to click 1 star"
- 3 stars - "I installed it and didn't test it"
- 3 stars - "I installed it but don't want the advertised functionality"
- 3 stars - "3 stars is average, and this is only an average ANOVA stat package with graphing, with automatic error bars and arbitrary-precision math library. I've seen better running on a 50 TFLOPS machine coded by MIT grads."
- 4 stars - "Does what it says, some minor issues"
- 4 stars - "I disagree with how a verb was conjugated, therefore it's not perfect. Otherwise, perfect addon"
- 4 stars - "I love this addon, but I'm a jackass and never give anyone praise or people will think I'm weak"
- 5 stars - "I love this addon"
- 5 stars - "The dev is in my guild"
- 5 stars - "I think the dev is cool because he answered someone's stupidass question with 'stfu bitch'"
