Crap:

Crap is not subjective. Crap is crap. When I speak of crap I mean stories that appear to have been written by a 3 year old or worse. I have seen stories that were so badly written that they were nearly impossible to understand. I have also seen these stories get 10/10. That's what I am talking about. Any reviewer who routinely gives indicipherable stories big time reviews is a reviewer I dislike getting reviews from.
See, even the definition of "crap" is subjective. You define crap in terms of language usage. i define crap in terms of storyline creation.

Example: i think John Grisham writes crap. The storyline never changes, only names, settings and few minor specifics. Obviously, a lot of people disagree with me. But i fail to see how that makes my opinion any less valid, just different.

But for the scoring system here, we could adopt what the ice skating scores do in the olympic and throw out the high score and the bottom score. just a thought.

My tuppence, your mileage, as always, may vary.
