Rating

I would like to propose that the term "Rating" be removed from Second Life and the client interface.

A "Rate" (similar to rank or range) implies a judgment based on a scale of values which otherwise unindicated can be assumed to be generally from "bad" to "good." Since the only ratings allowed nowadays are good ones, it is entirely illogical (makes no sense) to call it a "Rating."

It's especially annoying when you see some absolute piece of crap that makes you want to pull your eyes out and you select "Rate" on the Pie menu and find yourself faced with the choice of "It's Lovely" or "It's not as ugly as it looks." It's even worse when some griefer drops a house on you, pushes you across the sim, and generally ruins your day and all is says on the Pie menu is "Kiss Him" or "He was just playing around."

In the interests of truth and logic I submit that we should remove the word "Rate" from the SL vocabulary. It's an easy fix that can be implemented in a second on a Wednesday update.

Possible alternatives:

"Tummy Rubbing"
"Kissy Kissy"
"Grooming"
"Foot Massage"
