Make impossible to rate uncompleted dramas

Of course you are free to voice your disagreement but you can't really tell people to stop voting or to stop talking about a suggestion.  I mean, you can, but you get what I mean. If admins decide that a suggestion is unnecessary to implement they will close it. In the meantime people are free to vote and talk about it. 

I agree that the users should be publicly aware of the suggestions that won't be implemented ever and those that are in the works. Otherwise this is just a waste of votes and time. If they said they won't implement this suggestion, I'm not sure why it's still open because already 25+ people voted for it.

That's the issue : you can't know how many people are against it unless ... we were to create a voting topic against this suggestion. An idea which is already boring me to no-end.

Actually, it makes sense. Rince, repeat : If you decided to drop it at episode 2, then 'something' important to you wasn't there to push you further on the drama.
I would even say it's a dramatic drama epic fail ^^
Usually, there's more invested in the very first episodes of a drama (the first episodes are always trying to catch the viewers attention), so if it fails there ... ouch. Thus : a dropped drama usually means a very bad rating is closing in.

I'm not saying you can't drop it because you can, I'm just saying it shouldn't influence the final rating when you barely started the drama. If the drama sucked from the first episode, you can talk about it in the comments or just move on with your life. 

The thing is, I'm not supportive of "YOU HAVE TO WATCH IT ALL" because like you said, the result can be pretty obvious from the beginning but I'm also not supportive "It sucked from the beginning therefore, the drama suck overall". 

There should be a middle ground.

Maybe, instead of removing the ability to rate a drama you have not completed, you could add more information in the statistics. At this moment we can see the overall percentages of people watching the drama and the scores they gave. It could be interesting to see the average rating of people who dropped it and people who completed a certain drama. Or if they dropped it, how many episodes they watched and what scores they gave?

I suggested something like this last time this type of discussion took off.  It would solve a lot of things if we could just see the average scores from the different populations.  That way, anyone who doesn't want ratings from people who didn't complete the drama could just look at the rating from members who completed it.  Done.  (Well, one extra click to get to the stats page, but still pretty easy.)

hop, for the fun of it :

Dropped drama influence the final rating too much. How can you make an overall judgment if you watched only 3 episodes?   It end up like that:  I didnt like that actor, dropped and vote 2.  But maybe, if I can overcome that actor and watch till the end, I find out the drama was overall well written and I would have vote 6.  

But the idea of closing down the rating is more for users who vote before the drama-movie start air.    For the dropped problem I'm also favorable to add more statistic so we can split the rating between completed and dropped.  

I think the episode guide section is very useful and could resolve a lot of problem if  we encourage users to use that instead of spamming the details page. And I'm the first one to do that. I know :(   

It's not possible to insert the episode guide into the details page comment section?   I mean create a drop-down menu where clicking on it, the episode guide expands, people can comment and vote on the single episode. 

I am confused by the screencap? What does it have to do with the debate at all? From what I can see, silent_whispers didn't drop the drama. She just mentioned she liked the first half. Never did it say she dropped it after that and wrote the review. :/ Unless you are making the point she had formed an opinion early on.

 I still agree with everything you said, mediaklan. It is to be expected people will form an opinion as soon as they start a drama and it isn't right nor fair to force them to surpress it just because they didn't watch the whole drama.

I really, really think the whole trend lately of trying to force people to manage their lists and experiences like others needs to stop. It's seriously becoming an issue with all these forceful suggestions and telling people they are wrong to not rate/review/manage things like you want them to.

No one talked about being a drama experts, I think you misunderstood my exemple, I was talking about numbers of episodes of a single drama. If you watch only 3 episode out of 16 you don't have enough information (acting, soundtrack, plot scrip) to express an objective vote.  

It's  like reading one chapter of a book instead of  the entire book....  or watch 10 minutes out a 180 minutes movie. 

It's like a teacher who read only one page out of your homework and give you a vote...... would you be cool about that? 

My suggestion is that Users who drop can vote each episode in the episode guide but the main page rating is for the entire drama (completed).

Oh ok! I see what you mean, mediakin! Cool. (^_^) Thank you for explaining.

Poia, I am personally cool with however anyone chooses to rate what they watch or drop. It is not up to me to tell anyone they haven't watched enough to form a valid opinion. It is up to the person to decide what their own opinion on the matter is. How would you like it if I told you that you absolutely had to rate every drama you have ever watched, incuding dropped dramas? You would not like it at all, would you? It is the same thing. You want to tell everyone else when and how they can rate what they watch. Us people disagreeing with you are doing so, not to start drama or anything, but because we feel it is not right to insist upon something like that. See what I mean?
