When Ponyville forgets to pay their water bill, the Cloudsdale Weather Bureau cuts them off in the middle of a heatwave.

...Are they seriously even allowed to do that?

Why rating disabled?

Heatwave eh? Well they've never felt the equator before:coolphoto:

And then the Mayor becomes Nightmare Tyranny and kicks Celestia's flank. ;)

This was a lot of funXD

I wish it was an episode (or a comic)!

Just a personal preference on my part. The inability to disable ratings was actually one of the reasons I left this site years ago (the other was the moderation queue). They fixed both problems, hence my return. People have different tastes and different talent levels. And while the rating system was usually kind to me (several of my stories had 100% ratings, and most were in the 90s), I still don't think there should be a 'dislike' button. Just because I dislike something doesn't make it bad, and just because 300 people like it doesn't necessarily make it good (though it does make it popular).

I know I doom myself to never make the featured box, but I'm okay with that. I'm sure a lot of people are hesitant to click on my stories due to the 'ratings disabled' notice, but hopefully they get a better than expected reading experience for taking that chance.

IMHO, these days, the dislike is the only way you can give your opinion without being judged by others.

I figure if a story has 100 views and only two likes, it's pretty much the same thing as the story having 2 likes & 28 dislikes. At the same time, leaving a dislike without explaining why doesn't help the writer improve. Unfortunately, commenting exposes the commenter to judgment from both the author and other commenters, yet posting the story in the first place is inviting judgment (as to whether it was good or bad). I figure almost everyone on this site has poured a lot of time & effort into their stories, and who am I to cast judgment on something the author may be quite fond of? Conversely, sometimes there are trollfics or controversial fics where the author is actively encouraging downvotes. I refuse to give them the satisfaction (or the attention they crave).

You make a good point, and I hope I do too. There's no real 'right' or 'wrong' to this topic. Rather it's a matter of opinion, and I think we may have to agree to disagree on this one. :unsuresweetie:

...and this is why Mayor Mare is now in rehab for recreational clover abuse

At least she has one consolation (and perhaps the last laugh): Ponyville's taxpayers will cover it. :raritywink:

The only scenario she’d managed to think of that could possibly top that was if Pinkie Pie and/or Minty ascended to alicorn princess. And even that might not be as bad. But it was also highly unlikely. She hoped.

I'll raise you Pinkie "The 41-second Goddess of Chaos" Pie, your mayorshipfullness.

Shhh! What the mayor doesn't know, won't raise her blood pressure. :scootangel:
