Hopefully you understand that many people feel the downgrading system is unfair and needs to be fixed. A fall on a Quad attempt being scored the same as a fall on a Double Axel is quite ridiculous and his other jump shouldn't have been downgraded in the first place.
I follow everything very closely, I know what the fans want changed and I agree with a lot of it. If the quad is rotated, they are going to get a decent amount of points still, which I think is fair. The problem is that when it comes to the quad, usually it's just BARELY cheated rather than being way underrotated, like you might see in the junior ladies event with some of the triples, etc. I don't know what I would personally do to change the system without really thinking about it. I also haven't gone back and watched to see if I thought the triple toe was cheated enough to be downgraded or not, but I still don't really understand the Lutz GOE's.
