Completely not fishy first post.
It's not my first post just the first one that got approved. :P Stupid uses of rating systems grinds my gears, real PITA when you could just have had more nuance with more trolls in the first place.

Is it too late to say that the current half-troll looks too full from a distance? Like it could accidentally look like a full troll.

Yes. The problem is that each troll is barely any pixels, so if I move one pixel to the left, it looks less than half, but if I keep it where it is, it can be difficult to see.

I think a better solution would be increasing the total size of the images so that they are more scannable. If anyone knows how to do that, please feel free. Otherwise, I can also try when I get time.

You could mix the colors with 50% opacity on each.

Less than half is not a problem. Looking like a full troll at a quick glance is a problem. Rusty's suggestion

both have a smaller chance of confusion.

This is why we didn't add half trolls in the first place.

That and because it's a dumb idea. Just use /10 bro. Double troll ratings is easy.

Who cares about readability, should've just went with Vivec icon. It's an rpg site after all.

Or you could make them diagonal, from top left to bottom right.

Twiglard just implement the ratings. This is something only the movie review people will care about or use, but we'll really appreciate it. The majority of people who have rated/commented on this sub have been supportive of them. No movie critics use a 10/10 scale. They all use a 5/5 scale with .5 increments. Let's do this.

They're already on the smilies list.

Ah, I see them now. I guess I was confusing "Recently Used" for the totality of the ratings.

You certainly live up to your name Retardo_Carlo. How was your Christmas and New Years? Did you buy your daddy anything nice or was it all one way again with you getting all the presents from his hard work?
