Why We Started ZeroStars.org
Seeing the widespread use of “zero stars” as a symbol of dissatisfaction, we realized there was a need for a more nuanced rating system. Traditional platforms often limit users to a 1 to 5-star scale, which doesn’t adequately capture the full range of experiences—especially negative ones. ZeroStars.org was born from the desire to provide a platform where users can freely express both their highest praises and deepest disappointments.
Introducing Our Enhanced Rating System
At ZeroStars.org, we’ve expanded the conventional rating scale to range from -5 to +5 stars. Here’s what it means:
- -5 Stars: An experience that was utterly unacceptable and warrants a strong warning to others.
- 0 Stars: Complete neutrality or indifference toward the experience.
- +5 Stars: An exceptional experience that exceeds all expectations.
This broader scale empowers users to give more precise feedback, helping others make informed decisions. It also motivates businesses to address negative feedback proactively or continue delivering excellent service.
