This was only the emails forum, so I thought I'd copy it here:

If you start an email thread, you can put a poll in it that looks something like this:
*awesome! (5/5)
*very good (4/5)
*OK (3/5)
*disappointing (2/5)
*terrible (1/5)
But if the polls are different from thread to thread, that'd make it hard to compare them. So it's gotta be some kind of 5-point scale. If you add a poll that isn't a scale of 5, it'll have to be deleted and started over, which'll be a hassle. If you don't add the poll, it'll be added for you (but it'd sure make it easier for us if you do it!).
Happy ratings!
