I’ve noticed that a lot of designs get a 1 or 2 rating from some people. That seems pretty harsh since most of the designs that appear on the homepage are pretty nice to begin with. I mean, are we rating compared to the range of sites we see on the web (most of which are far uglier and more poorly designed than anything that appears on this site) or are we rating compared to the other submissions in the gallery? It seems silly that some truly beautiful sites get slapped with a 1. Maybe it’s just one bitter member? I don’t know. This is something I would call a 1 (or a 0 actually) - not anything that appears on this site.

criteria should be simple what ever is good rating is high and vice versa
