Try to get more weight to your ratings instead of complaining.

Hello fellow proggers !

1. Since we will add more and more ratings only to the site, reviewers take note that I have also increase the weight of review rating from 5 to 10x for members, 10 to 20x for admins and collaborators. Understand that we still value more detailled reviews over rating only.  But I encourage members to quick rate to increase the overall value of the site top lists and average ratings to help discover the best prog out there from reviews or by checking average ratings or top lists. The algorithm that order top albums lists also take into consideration the other albums number of ratings, so it's a win-win option here. Warning: this will change the top albums list for sure, I think J-Tull TaaB is back #1 !


There ABSOLUTELY NO POINT  in casual users using this.  As I pointed out in detail some time ago unweighted votes have no impact because they are overwhelmed by the weighted votes.  And as you've just increased the weighting it's even worse... Ouch

The bad thing about reviewing is that it cannot be forced. And believe, I've tried :-) It's as with drawing/painting, as with writing short stories / novel, it's creativity.

Same here, I was only teasing Wink.
Although this weekend I will publish at least one review, because I promised the band to do so.

Would love to, but reviewing for me personally takes quite some time and energy, just not something that comes natural, maby due to the fact that im not a great writer, and the language thing too, restricts me to only review in periods where i have some extra time.

^ Can I humble add my +0.89 ? It's a good number (it was a good year) which can make some kind of paradox interference, as Brian's reaction was on my post. Sheesh :-)

The problem was with change of 0 => 1, because some people rated the worst albums with 0 stars and better (not that much better, more like slightly) albums with 1 stars, but then suddenly they both had the same rating.

1=>1
1.5
2=>2
2.5
3=>3
3.5
4=>4
4.5
5=>5

So basically we'll get 9 point system instead of current 5 point system. 5 old full stars and 4 half stars.

+1,5LOL

LOL Brilliant!


Although i am against half stars, now seems to be the perfect time to implement it. Adjusting ones ratings is now so simple that it isn't a problem.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Max mentioned possibility of move to half-stars system and also his concerns about problems about it, side effects and other consequences.

But isn't it similar as when back in the old days, 0 stars were all changed to 1 stars ? Correct me if I'm wrong.



I would see it as that all current stars would remain the same, 1 star would be 1 star in new system, 4 would be 4 in new system, only new ratings will have half-stars. 

It's the only possible way I can think about.

I was confused about what was going on until i read this so thanks. If a review comes up on the front page that i've reviewed my rating is shown plus the average and of course the reviewers rating.So three ratings show up.Interesting.
