Royalty Free Idea: Text-Chest Rating System



Lo, dear reader - once more into the realm of personal, real-world stattage. The above is an idea that wouldn't work for a plethora, a smorgasbord of still rather pleasing reasons, though I'm sure it doesn't take me to tell you that a system where other people rate you by text message before an average of these ratings is displayed on an LCD panel on the chest is a system open to abuse. For every concerned parent spamming their son with "he's perfectly normal, ladies" messages, there's a "he's into (insert choice 'interest')", fictitious or otherwise, from a former confident/made up partner of the same gender. And for every "diligent and industrious, A+" that you'd rather not have splayed across your front, the real trouble begins when rogue call-centres start using you as free advertising space - all it takes is a couple hundred slightly unfortunate "Cheap Weekend Rates" messages, and it's all over.

So probably no takers on this idea, then.
