valis2I was thinking about that today as I was leaving a comment. I realized that after two years of having a LJ I've begun to review with a system. I'm like that, of course, because I like to break everything down into categories and organize things.
If I didn't like a story---if I skimmed it and didn't finish it---I don't leave feedback. Sometimes when I see a story like that, I'll keep a tab open with the story in it, and wander back to check on it later to see if anyone else says anything. Sometimes those stories never get more than a comment or two, despite being in active comms, so I have a feeling that I'm not the only one who does this.
If I liked a story, but not a lot, and it had a few problems, but I am wary of getting into it with the author, I usually leave a comment that I enjoyed it, or I thank them for sharing the story.
If I liked a story, but not a lot, and it had a few problems, and the author seems to want concrit, then I'll leave a few thoughts, and make certain to add at least one strength I found in the story.
If I liked a story, I usually leave a comment that says something to the tune of "I enjoyed this". Sometimes I'll add something positive about the story.
If I really liked it, I usually try to leave a sentence or two about what strengths the story had, and how much I enjoyed it.
If I loved it, I usually quote a line that I loved and mention how much I enjoyed it. I also tend to get to glow a bit and add a few exclamation points.
Do you have a system of feedback?

I would say that my feedback ratio is about 30%, I think. Perhaps 25%.
I can't give positive fb without feeling like I'm lying for not mentioning the things I didn't like
I sometimes do omit the criticisms. I feel a bit nervous is I don't know much about the author, or if they seem like they might react poorly. Occasionally, if I see that no one's reviewed, I'll send them an e-mail privately and mention my thoughts, but this is rare.
