I am just a newbie fuckwit so I expect to get raped after asking this questions, but has anyone considered a rating system before? You know, sort of a half-assed way to send feedback and to make newbies depressed about the three hours they spent on the most retarded comic ever?

Hmmm, note to self, a suggestion should contain ideas that SUPPORT it.

We used to have one, but it didn't work, asking for one that worked would just be insane!

I'm thinking about a feedback system, sort of a private messaging system. But ratings tend not to work.

Er well you know the only reason I bring it up is that I think feedback is important you know, but you got to simplify it for the person giving the feedback, otherwise they are not going to take the time or go through the trouble to give feedback, you know?

If any of that statement made sense, let me know.

I've e-mailed people to tell them I liked their comics before. And I've responded to many posts in RMDC. I think if the strips are good enough, and if the author has made some indication that s/he wants feedback, people will take the initiative to offer it.

Brad, maybe this question should be in the FAQ; we've been getting it a lot lately.

yeah, I reply sometimes. It all depends on if I am in the mood or not. Besides (with me at least) if I am not in the mood to give feedback, I am not gonna be in the mood to rate them either.

Werd.

That, or a counter with each comic just to see how many people have read it. Though that would just be a pain in the butt memory-wise.
