Good, it's more accurate/honest that way. because I NEVER raise or lower my scores in a attempt to raise or lower a movies average rating since it's not honest. because even movies I think are underrated or overrated I still give my honest score of it.
I guess whether we agree here or not depends on some things...
A 5/10 for me is average. which usually means it did not waste my time but it's not exactly something I would see again either. so in short... it tends to be watchable but forgettable. ultimately a Thumbs Down. but for something to stand out more in a negative way is 4/10 scores and less for me. so basically when I score something a 5/10 it's a middle-of-the-road/average in terms of my overall interest in it, which plays inline with usually being good enough not to have wasted my time, but at the same time is ultimately a Thumbs Down since I ultimately judge stuff based on whether I want to re-watch it or not and a 5/10 is ultimately a negative score in this regard.
but as for your documentaries comment... I have seen some documentaries and I also can't remember rating any of those lower than a 5/10. although... a high percentage of them tend to be a 5/10 for me as only a small amount, if not a very small amount, are worth re-watching and barely any of them stand out for me.
When you say 'individual shows', do you mean individual EPISODES?
because I never bother with rating individual episodes either as I just rate the entire show as a whole.
While ratings on IMDb etc can be nice to keep some info on, I tend to keep lists (on Letterboxd website) or text files (on my computer) of what stands out for me. I even try to keep a basic list/text file of everything I give a Thumbs Up to. but I mainly focus on the stuff I consider favorites.
I must admit I've exaggerated a score, probably something new, or a movie that has such little votes (and usually a bad score) to give it a boost, but I try to revise and update.

If I don't like a documentary, I might give it a 5/10, which means I broke even, and didn't regret seeing it. I can't remember grading any documentaries anything lower, but then again, I'd probably just turn it off, because chances are it won't suddenly become great, as opposed to some movies that don't have the best starts.

Oh, and I knew about the "Restrict Titles", etc... but it would be nice if I could take someone else's ratings and arrange them by year, genre, etc... It's why I stopped rating individual shows - there would be too much, and it would be hard to distinguish when I'm searching for ratings to give others, or for myself.
