i do like yelp tho

i like yelp overall. but i have some problems with it.

yeah yeah, i don't like how restaurants can pay a fee and have bad reviews be taken down. it seems shady and it gives the actual reviews less credibility.

but overall, i like yelp. it's very very useful sometimes.

but one small thing that bothers me. i don't like how they use a 5 star rating system. it should be 10, 10 would be ideal. even a 100-point rating system would be more useful

when you're in a new neighborhood and you want to find a good restaurant, you'll often find 10 restaurants, six with 3 stars, four with 3.5 stars, there's not enough room to separate the restaurants. let's say that i'm a yelper and review 4 restaurants in the same neighborhood. and let's say that i review each restaurant based on 100 different categories (like cleanliness, customer service, wait time, parking availability). and let's say after the review of the 4 restaurants, that i settle on the reviews 3.3, 3.4, 2.7, and 3.0. obviously if someone asked for my favorite, i could tell them the restaurant that ranked 3.4 and so on. however, with the current yelp rating system, i would have to rate each restaurant a 3. plain and simple. lame. they need a 10 point scale to  help separate the good restaurants from the average, and the average from the poor.

i'd rather look up restaurants in a neighborhood and see more of a power rankings. best, second best, 3rd best, suckiest, the worst
rather than
look up restaurants in a neighborhood and see a 9 way tie for "best"
