I am being asked to rate comments, which is fine.  I have now been warned that they do not like my rating because it violates "community standards".  

G&M editors:  Can you explain this further?  If you ask for my opinion regarding a comment, you will get my opinion.  There is no "right or wrong".   Telling me my rating does not match community standards is telling me you should have rejected the comment in question before asking me my opinion.  Expecting my, or anyone else's opinion to match community standards means you have already set a standard.  It is also telling me what my opinion should be, which is ridiculous.  Its your comment page, but this does not seem to be a wise policy.  If this is about how often I rate a comment as bad or rude, I tend to be quite be quite generous regarding whether a comment is a "good comment".  Otherwise, how will you encourage discussion?  I think I am being fairly strict on things that are rude.
