Sal Scale

The Sallery Scale (aka Sal Scale), is a general, 3-point, rating scale based on the idea that anything more than "Good", "Ok", "Bad" is completely superfluous. Created, coined and used by Sallery the scale was developed in distaste for the use of decimals in 5-point and 10-point scales, that, despite having more numbers, one would still continue to use decimals rather than discreet numbers.
The Scale
Given it is a 3-point scale it is intuitive to understand.
1 "Bad"
The lowest possible grade. On a 5-point scale, a 1 or 2 is considered a 1 on the Sal Scale. On a 10-point scale 1-3 is considered a 1.
While this is the lowest possible grade, it isn't necessarily a complete negative hatred for any given subject. It could be something that one wouldn't play again, or something that one wouldn't recommend to others.
2 "Ok/Meh"
The Middle/Mediocre grade. On a 5-point scale, a 3 is considered a 2. On a 10-point scale 4-7 is considered a 2.
A middle of the road option, most subjects will land here. Nothing to write home about but not disliked.
3 "Good"
The highest possible grade. On a 5-point scale, 4 or 5 is considered a 3. On a 10-point scale, 8-10 is considered a 3.
While this is the highest possible grade, it does not mean that any given subject is "Perfect" or "Life-changing". Merely that the subject is notable enough that one would recommend to others or would be willing to experience again.
The scale has only 3 options, giving any one person the ability to concisely grade and categorize any given subject. The scale should never have a decimal as it would completely defeat the purpose of the scale.
All the points on the scale are subject to the interpretation of the grader. Thus, what may be considered a "1" for one person could be a "2" or someone else, much like other scales. However, unlike other scales something that would be between two grades (I.E. a 1.5) simply does not exist and immediately gets rounded down, with the understanding that on a Binary scale the grader would have given it a negative rating. The 2 on the scale exists for this purpose and should be used in that case.
