Jinn, your requirements are truly the bare minimum to review a story. You need to log in - to prevent someone from giving themself 15 votes of 10 to pump up their story (or their ego).
Some amount of text, even just "I liked it." or "More?" to give the author SOMEthing to work from. You can rate a story in a minute or two, but most people don't like to take the time out of their erotic reverie to encourage more of what they like. It's a sad truth.

But I believe a review text will be much useful than a rating number. And to avoid abusing the system, only registered users can review stories.

With all these restrictions (which I think are very necessary), more readers become reluctant to review. But I still insist to get some useful comments than a meaningless rating number.

If any of you has any thought about encouraging reviews, please let us all know. Thank you.
