We simply asked for the stars to be added as smilies, so that we could put them in polls if needed.

Well it looks like the vast majority want some sort of star system. It seems like the argument is between a 0-4 vs. a 0-5 scale with or without half stars.

While you may want that level of differentiation in a massive review database or some such application, for a simple poll to give the general DVDtalk user feeling on a movie, 11 options is silly. 5 should be enough, 7 at the most. 1 middle rating, and either 2 or 3 qualifiers in either direction from the middle.

but, still asking how does this work in a poll? you put the smile in the poll option and then people rate so instead of having the number "5" you have <img src="http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/images/5.gif">
in the poll box?

Having the star system also avoids possible confusion, as it will clearly show the entire point system. (i.e, 1 out of 5, 2 out of 5, etc)

I forget, and they are not in the smilie list, how do we do half stars?
Edit to add: Never mind, found it here.
