too heavily weighted ratings ? its outrageous

I have been keeping some opinions to myself for some time about how the rating system works but after reading some  reviews of CD's and seeing their ratings I have come to the conclusion that Prog reviewers and Collaborators ratings are far too heavy weighted. Not only does it disregards and disrespects the opinion of the average prog fan who lets face it without their input this site would be "Nothing" it also greatly affects the top 100 and the true integrity of the site in other words the rating stars mean nothing and its almost a pointless task submiting a review for the average person unless you are "one of the boys" here on this site.    I would  hate to feel I am typing this to typical politician mentality people who will just read it then disgard it but something needs to be done about this ridiculous situation ASAP.
