Five stars, delete, half stars

[Robert9]

I see many scenarios where the typical 5 stars for rating are too less. Very often, i want to give 3.5 or 4.5 stars.
The decision for 3, 4 or 5 is many times not what I want to do. I have to lie, because i can't choose anything else.

Changing this should be a core thing, with option for the admin to stay with 1 to 5 or have half stars also.
Instead of an integer we save a float, instead of choosing from 1 to 5, we choose from 1 to 1.5, 2 ... 4, 4.5, 5.

To repeat it, for many scenarios this is much more realistic.

There should also be an option for the admin to allow deleting a rating.
Many times people rate, and then ask the mods how they can delete it.
Many people don't rate, because it feels wrong to give 3, 4 or 5, when they want to rate between like they are used to know from school.

What we should do now? Find another 50, 500, 5000 webmasters who want it?

Why can`t to do dropdown select that goes from 5.00 to 1.00 in .25 increments ie.. 5.00, 4.75, 4.50, 4.25, 4.00 etc. like it`s implemented in Showcase?

Showcase items now have an "optional" AUTHOR Rating which is used for when the Item itself is a "REVIEW" (like the posts in this suggestion entail). Instead of the 5 star picker which only lets you pick a FULL 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 rating, I've added a dropdown select that goes from 5.00 to 1.00 in .25 increments ie.. 5.00, 4.75, 4.50, 4.25, 4.00 etc. This allows you to set a Author rating of 4.25 if you want to. btw, this rating is completely separate from "User Ratings". Throughout the addon, there are now 2 sets of Star ratings. One for Author Rating and one for Average User Rating (sometimes abbreviated to User Rating).
