My opinion is probably a consequence of me minoring in computer science though. If you don’t want people to do certain things, then it’s necessary to program your app in a way that makes it physically impossible to do it wrong.
YES! I remember this! Never ever ever ever assume any user data will be safe or accurate. It's important for both security as well as proper functioning and data processing.

A simple example is, think about how many ways there are to enter a date. If you just gave someone a text field and asked for a date you could get an assortment of different answers that are not easy to work with, and possibly not even accurate. Maybe someone says it's February 31st, 0000? Or maybe they just say it's Tuesday.

I haven't really paid too much attention to what it does now, but I would think that to give a star rating or review, a certain amount of reading could be required. The question is when do you limit it? And what happens with outlier cases, say you need to read 2 chapters to give a rating, what happens to a one chapter one shot? etc.

The way I see it is that you go by gut feeling and SOLELY gut feeling. Personally speaking, there are many times where I want to do something but found myself hindered by stupid, personal principals like "plot logic" and "internal consistency".

It wasn't long until I found myself betraying my own tastes. Don't worry whether a story has reach an arbitrary limit to recieve a rating or not; if you can honestly say it deserves a 5-star and a glowing review then by all means fling that bioluminescent cum all over the ratings page. Constructivism is nothing but a thick curtain, hiding the mind from the enlightenment of primitive nature.

If Grug likes the story about deep lesbian tongue kissing in mechs, he will enjoy that story about deep lesbian tongue kissing in mechs. In the end, who gains more; the monocle homo who hinders his experience towards media with gay philosophy and critique, or Grug, who is already torrenting the second season of hot lesbian kissing in mechs?

Personally I would not say I go solely by gut feeling, but it's a large part and if I'm not confident in a rating, I don't give one. This leads to me mostly just leaving things I don't like without rating in my reading list of oblivion.
I also rarely give reviews, because it's hard to give words to my feeling and I especially suck at writing positive reviews.

And I definitely need to know more about that hot lesbian kissing in mechs.
