Add scoring half points
The biggest improvement to this site would be the ability to score half points such as 7.5 or 6.5.

1) Choice overload isn't good for the user experience
2) Users voting low are given even more power
3) Risk for regressions, as many aspects of the site need to be updated
4) Changing mid-way can trigger “my 1,000+ votes are now inconsistent” frustration.
If there are many other users backing it (with comments, not just thumbs up) and there is little opposition, we will consider it.
@Douggy510: Just a few months ago (in September), you were strongly advocating here for reducing the entire voting system from 10 stars to 5 stars, which is the complete opposite of this idea. What made you change your mind? You made good points back then ("reducing the negative voting power" and 5 stars being the most commonly used system), but the change was too drastic, and the idea received multiple fake votes (which is no longer possible).
So yes, I'd appreciate the chance to give, for example, a 9,5 to a woman I really like but not to the point to consider her a perfect 10.
I suddenly feel like I’m in the “these go to 11” scene in This Is Spinal Tap. 😆
