Ok, moderator mode on...
This has the potential to be a somewhat useful poll and if more are done in the future they could also serve as a sort of comparative progress-meter, as long as people stick to a dry, reporting, "clinical" style in their posts and avoid the confrontational cliches.
In other words, posting an opinion is ok but "enforcing" it on others is not:
Topic:
"This is my rating of the sim, plus some words about why i mark it that way, i like this and this, i don't like such and such, this is my personal interpretation of the vote distribution that i'm voicing in a nice manner that's not provocative to others"
Off-topic:
"1c deserves to go broke/become millionaires"
"it's the fault of person A/B/C/whatever"
"i know/don't know how they released such a masterpiece/mess"
"they stole our money to buy vodka/no our money went to charity because they are good guys"
poorly worded one-liners to the tune of "it's a joke"/"no it's not you are" that don't explain anything about why the poster is so adamant in his opinion
rude, provocative or offensive comments/wording in an otherwise on-topic post
and similar personal opinions, conjecture and speculation that are not shared by all, can't be factually proven but are argued as if they can and most of all, have been repeated ad nauseum.
The on-topic stuff is useful and stays, the off-topic stuff is edited by the original poster or gets moved to the arguments megathread as soon as i wake up tomorrow.
Moderator mode off
Interesting opinions and a bit reassuring to see that most people are being reasonable in their judgement of the sim. I too find the amount of 50s a bit much, but we also have quite a few 60s and 70s.
The way i read this trend it looks to me like this: for a lot of people things are so and so (the 50 score bracket), for the majority things are better than average (the 60+ score bracket) with half of them being even more positive, while the amount of people who are overly positive/negative are a definite minority.
I think the poll results thus far are an accurate overall reflection, in the sense that while it's far from perfect it's no dog either, plus it's in a workable state for the majority of users.
