Why have a 1-5 rating system when everyone just rates everything 5 stars? You should just change it to a thumbs up or thumbs down button to stop people from abusing it. All the 5 star reviews just make the mod look amazing when in reality the mod has major problems but nobody wants to talk about them as to not hurt the mod authors feelings. We all love the mod makers!

It sounds to me like you're referencing a single mod, as opposed to files in general.  If you think there's abuse going on in someone's reviews, you can either report the file, or the individual reviews.  The 1-5 star system works, and is much better than a thumbs up and thumbs down system, which can also be abused.  Not to mention, trying to moderate thumbs down abuse would be much more tedious and not worth it.

Its all a matter of opinion a 5 Star mod to me might be a 2 Star mod to you,  its kinda like looking at restaurant reviews. The good thing is not only can you rate it but you also have the opportunity to leave a comment explaining your rating. The really sad part is people rate the plugins on things like what type of call outs, lets use "person with a knife" call out for example its used a lot but each one has something that's a little bit different than the last or different location etc. its a decent call out but what would suck is if every time i had that call it was in the same place, same ped, same scenario. I was a police officer for 4 years there was plenty of nights that I would have to respond to a Suspicious Person call several times a shift (Dispatch the same way) but different location, different suspect, different end result. When I rate a plugin I usually play it several times first the thing I rate on is if the plug in works smooth without crashing my game, if there is any glitches during a call out, variety of the call outs, locations etc. Developing these aren't easy and takes a lot of time. If a call out runs smooth and doesn't cause crashes that's a great start, suggestions and wants can always be addressed in updates. Giving a bad rating simply because you don't like the content of the plugin isn't really fair to the developer, or giving a low rating because its a WIP, all plugins for the most part are a WIP as the developers usually are always working to improve or add to the plugin. Use the comments to address any issues or negative issues you have and give the developer the opportunity to address them and if he doesn't then give a bad review.
