1. I use my real opinions and thoughts; don't be entitled. If it gets 1 star then it did something wrong, plain and simple.
2. Don't want it rated one star? Learn from your poorly made project and try to do better.
3. How just HOW did that take you 8 months?
4. I don't want to work with someone who feels entitled to getting a better rating just because you made something and took a long time. There are plenty of projects I worked on that I worked for a long time on and got it poorly reviewed.
