Do you think graphs like this are useful. This shows (for example) how Manila has been reviewed over time since things may not be the same as they were in the past. It is a good reference if nothing else:



Some countries of course get better results:



The trends will not drastically change based on a single bad or good review and required many reviews to trend up or down from the mean.

Thoughts?

**Update: This has already been added to the reviews section below all the reviews for each consulate and local CIS office .

It's tough with the reviews. While I think it is a good idea for people to enter their experiences, quantifying it this way could be a worry or frustration for people. Afterall, we do not get to choose which Consular post we deal with.

So say now I know I've got to go to a very poorly user rated office. Might that affect my attitude? Steal some joy? Make me nervous enough to make error in my interview?

I think it is very good for people to know that a certain post has certain kinds of red flags so that they can address them if needed, but what good does it do me to know a lot of strangers' opinions based on their one-time experience? What do I have to compare my experience to? I've only used one Embassy.

I'm such a killjoy.
I guess I've said more than enough about that for now.
