My wife mentioned that the Photo Rating on the gallery should go. She said most people are proud of their shots and someone may insult them with a less than favorable rating. That being the case, I will let you guys decide.
I told here that we are all professionals and can handle it.

I would be happy to dispense with ratings. I like being able to post and share and hear views. I don't know what numbers mean and don't feel a need for folks to compare ratings rather than focus on the photos.
Anyway, that's my two cents.

i'd love to get some feedback on my shots when i post them but numbers are not that important to me either.

Maybe it is not a bad idea after all. Number does not mean anything to the critique of a photo and the lack of a numerical ranking would definitely create a more relaxed and cordial atmosphere in the galley, it may encourage more people to post without the fear of bruised ego.

I agree. Numbers or ratings always seems to spur a lot of idiotic discussions. Would be nice if this was point/rating free 
(Maybe if we ever have 'competitions' the rating could be activated in that area only).

Yes, I'd agree the rating is unneeded. I see questions fairly often on Photo.net either complaining about no ratings or complaining about some unusually low ratings. I personally never give ratings, as I don't really feel qualified to do so.
The option is no longer there. Thanks for the feedbak.

Late due to some hours of difference (as always ) but I prefer it without the ratings. In fact I don't really know how to rate a picture with a number. I know what I like or not from a photo, but can't figure how to translate these personal preferences into a number... And exactly like Doug, who am I to do it ?

Late also, but just wanted to give my agreement on the numbers issue.
Oscar, I think you said it better than I did! Agree completely; it's the translation to a simple number. On occasion I'll make a comment about a photo, just hoping it doesn't sound too dumb. In any comment I feel I'm expected say something wise, beyond a simple "I like that one!" so I hesitate.
