Is there a place here in the community where you can keep track of your reads/comment and ratings for fellow members work? And how exactly does the point system work?
Am I just overlooking something or maybe missed this information posted or listed somewhere? In the comments I do feel that constructive criticism is very vital to a writers needs. I have yet to have seen such in comments that I have read. I also would like to
to know the rating system...1 means? yuck!! Poor grammar usage, misspelled words, versed or non versed? Then 5 meaning excellent with no errors and flow and context all well done? 
Thanks to anyone that can help  Or is the rating just personal preference??

Sunflower the link to the point system is kind of hidden. I'll have Shawn add a link under community. Now if you click on Sponsors - Premium Members you will find a link to the point system.

We have discussed constructive criticism here before and I have suggested those looking for a more in depth review to put a request in the upper box ( Author and Copyright box) when submitting their content to Today's Woman.
Did you check the help section?

Here is the rating pattern I follow. You may wish to use it as your guideline.
Rating
Five stars - Publishable
Four stars- This piece of writing needs only minor touch-ups to be publishable.
three stars- This means that it really needs a whole lot of work. There are probably many spelling/grammar/typo errors, or that it was pretty low on content.
two stars- Poorly written, many errors, little interest to the reader.
one star- I hope that it never comes to this. It would mean that it was not right for this web site and you would need to brush up on your writing skills.
Before you take anyone's rating too seriously, remember that none of us are experts. Some reviewers have not mastered publishing status themselves. We are here to help each other and most of all remember that you can be helpful without being hurtful. Even if you get a low review don't be upset, all writers started somewhere and we each grow with every new write.
