Question regarding Ashwinder

Can anyone tell me if there is a way that allows me to see what rating a reviewer has given? It shows up all blank on my screen except in the author listing and possibly the chapter listing, but not on the individual reviews. Thanks.

Personally, I hate knowing what the ratings are. I think that they are childish and stupid and completely subjective. You can't see the individual ones at Ashwinder (thank GOD!), but keep in mind that it only takes a single 4 1/2 star rating out of hundreds there, will make it a 4 1/2 star rating forever.

I posted a rant (http://ginny-weasley31.livejournal.com/169280.html#cutid1) about the rating system a couple of weeks ago. I'm rather strongly opinionated on this point.

I understand, but I prefer to know... I find it very disconcerting if suddenly the stars are less in the story, and I can't tell why.
