I think comments should be required when rating an article 2 or below. What good is it to the author if you don't tell them your reason for the low rating?

That won't result in anything more helpful than the current system. If you force people to write a comment, they'll just write "it sucked" or something.

You would also know who they were as it would have their name next to it.
Then you can slay them with your wit and intteligence (if u have any that is)

What is most disturbing is when you see an article top rated at 5 (7 users- more than 800 viewers)
for two days and suddenly, someone rated it 2 and no comment  . I agree with you, i prefer to see "it sucked". BTW, it's not about being top rated but having feedback (it is useful or not).

basically i agree.
because it's an courtesy and respect to others' articles that are probably containing authors' thoughts.
if they rate them too low,they should have reasons.
but "comments should be required" should be treated as suggestion,not force to write comments.

Would it be possible to add an extra page to the demographics, that shows the same information, but only for the active people (how you'd define active, I'm not sure of. Perhaps people who have posted in the last month, or something)
This would let us see which countries are more active
(Or maybe you could just collate the the number of posts per country, and add that to the list)

"This would let us see which countries are more active"
USA,India.always.

If Nish founded his own country, it'd probably still rank near the top

i think everybody will agree that a country named "Nish" should be founded if we rank according to country.

Not sure if that's such a good idea. One of CP's reasons for it's super-success is that everything looks same. It's all the old *look-and-feel* thing again! When people feel that all the CP articles look same and have the same heading colors and formatting, they find it easier to assimilate stuff. They may find it a little annoying to find that the articles can have different color schemes on different machines based on the whim of the person who last set the colors. Anyway this is just my opinion.

no, i dont think u quite got my point, i meant each individual can set there own colours.
A good number of people access CP from public machines 
But then maybe the world is changing, after all they even have themes in XP, so maybe your suggestion is reflective of your generation! Me, alas, I am an old-timer, a gray haired old man

you could get around that if CP stores the info in your profile. in that case, if you make a few colour schemes, we can select which one to use in our settings, and CP stores that data, so its the same not matter where we log in.

So, you could have a CP theme to match then

Now you know why I used so many gray themes in my articles in those days
Sorta interesting that we can even refer to that period as "those days", it being less than 6 months past and all...

We should get you a laptop PC so you can post from your rocking chair by the nice, warm fire. Of course, you'll need bifocals to read the itty-bitty 14" LCD screen
Instead of marrying again, I think I'll just find a woman I don't like very much and give her a house...
