Any chance we could get the character limit increased from 4,000 to maybe like 10,000? 4,000 is rather low and I'm frequently finding myself having to split my rates up because they don't fit, which is pretty annoying. I like to be as detailed as I can in my rates and this kind of makes doing that difficult.

Thanks...

Also, one other thing, while you're at it.
It would be awesome to have a rate rating thingy. Like, if someone rates someones track, and the rate is bad, other users would rate his rate. And the better rates would get more points or some reward or something.
I think that would increase the percentage of usefull rates in the exchange.
Also, the rates, which would be rated below like 4 or something (some limit) would get removed after some time.

There are people who complain about rates because they didn't get what they want.

I believe this might be a limitation on the database, However I think it might be correctable.

Just checked our database structure and seeing the way people write comments, it can only allow a maximum of 4,000 characters per rating.

Alright, I did something that shouldn't have done and could have broken the site and increased it to 7900 total characters. That's the max allowed by the databse structure we use. You can see an example here of how much you can now write. http://www.coastercrazy.com/track_excha ... ?tid=16469

Thanks for that. Should make rating much less of a hassle for those of us who like to go into way too much detail.
