Two columns, Left= 1 to 5 Brown Onions. Right column= 1 to 5 White Onions.
Five Brown Onions= I should have gone for a walk and not watched this show/movie.What smells in this room?
One Brown Onion= A bit of a stinker.
One White Onion=Doh!, Meh! Take your feet off the coffee table.
Five White Onions= Pass the snacks and another beer, we are here for the full length movie.
Fill in the other ratings or create your own for all ten categories .
There just so many bad movies popping up, low budget, poorly acted, wasn't she/he in that bad advertisement for underwear that doesn't creep up, terrible story line and sin of all sins "Really crappy theme and background music" Now that I got that off my chest time for a walk and a beer in the park, nothing worth watching at the moment!

Think that instead of a onion, a corona symbol would be more appropriate....
Especially for movies from 2020....
Glad that year is almost over....

5 red corona = fuck I got infected by the whole world and now I'm gonna die...

5 white corona =  hell Yea I'm immune... Even tho I still got it... :-@

Very good idea by BluudNut:_trusted_user::_male::_turtle: to bring up the current 5 star rating system. Just a couple of thoughts on that topic. As far as I am aware (correct me if I'm wrong) the current 5 star rating system was never actually intended to be used to rate the movie itself, but rather the video and audio quality of the upload, i.e., 720 vs 1080 or 320Kbps vs FLAC etc.

Over the years, as TGx membership has grown steadily, I think most people are genuinely more interested in talking about and rating the content of the movie. Given that our TGx Uploaders are so awesome, audio and video quality are not that exciting or relevant any more, it seems to me. People wanna chat about the film or album or game or whatever. Was it good? Would you recommend it? Did you vomit in your mouth? etc. :D

With that in mind, I wholeheartedly support BluudNut's suggestion. It would be awesome to see our rating system improved, modified, revamped, whatever you wanna call it. Even a simple 10 point scale like IMDb uses would be better than what we have now. I guess the real question is whether or not it can be done without putting too much strain on the peeps who are smart enough to do that stuff.

With Christmas right around the corner, I guess it can't hurt to at least ask Santa nicely. :-)

how i see myself those 5 stars, they show how torrent was make
has seeders, it's seeded, ok name, connection with imdb, no how the movie is
bad movie or good movie can put in torrent, torrent can be bad, no seeders, not enough explain...
about movie, after me, the player can say, how is the video/audio quality, has 1080p, 5.1 audio channel...
at imdb, the stars are from users who saw the movie/serial, not how an uploader preaper the torrent

I'm under the impression the star system is for rating the torrent for audio, video condition etc. Not what the movie/series/app/music/book/game is about, that can be done in the comments section... an example of this is the reviews Reaper and some others give.

I wanted to make a separate thread for this but thankfully I found this thread and more specifically your post. I wholeheartedly agree. There should definitely be a separate rating for the torrent quality and movie/tv/software/etc rating. The content rating could be shared across across all the torrents found in the "Similar Torrents" area of a torrent.

I would very very much appreciate if this feature could be added. :_love :_love :_love

Isn't it odd that 98% of the 1-STAR ratings being given are by the SAME MEMBERS on virtually EVERY film that's posted? And those same members have nearly 100% of the reviews on their profiles given by just ONE other rather well-known member? When I was a new member, there were a initially a number of film torrents I avoided because of those torrent quality STAR ratings, that is until I realized there was a pattern to the 1-STAR ratings being given by the same members on every torrent and figured out they weren't rating the torrent quality at all. I guess some clarification would be nice, and maybe some changes to the system to allow for STAR ratings for BOTH the torrent quality & whether people liked the film itself. My opinion only. :_pirate

Yep you're right.
Nothing more to say on that.
But changing the rating system won't make a difference.
The only way to stop them is to either dump the rating system or dump them.
Dumping the system is taking a part of who TGx is and stands for.
Dumping them will only make them more persistent in trying to disrupt everything.

(and then he went on to say lots:_:-))
Rules state that "Rate based on, the torrent, quality of the upload and/or the care put into the whole process.":_party:_party:_:-*:_:D:_pirate
But now peeps...some peeps:_facepalm...rate on "percieved wokeness":_facepalm...if they like the movie or not:_facepalm....if they like the cast:_facepalm...if they agree with the "message":_facepalm etc etc.
Same with the comments:_facepalm

Only solution to this seeing as it's been left to get this bad...is a general cull:_party:_party:_pirate

There are many, many threads here in Forums for all the crap convo's that go on over on torrent comment sections...
Delete the convo's/arguments/insults/slurs/wokeness on torrent side and then all the "anonimA$$" guests will disappear or become one:_:-):_:-):_:-)

Just an opinion from someone watchin an ever increasing sheeetshow of crapola causing grief and extra work for the site and site Staff:_:-*

Big Hint : "When you reply to a comment your NOT commenting on THE UPLOAD":_facepalm

This post was sponsored by "Stretchy Pants....when you have too much crap in ya life, get stretchy pants":_:-*
