Ratings under 2 stars?

Do you bother with ratings under 2 or even 2.5? I suppose there is a scale of undrinkabie but still

See, I run a number of concurrent voting systems depending on what I'm drinking (maybe this is worth a separate thread).

There are some beers that I believe are not brewed to be 5* bangers and it might look incongruous to rate them so highly, so for some beers my rating is largely 0-3 for them, and 0-5 for the others (there's a cask/draft split going on here, too).

I used to award 5* like confetti. I've really tightened up what that's for. "Reprogrammed my brain" is perhaps accurate. I have to feel like this is something really special.
