I'm not sure if this is in the right spot and I apologize if it needs to be moved.
Question- When an album is rated but not reviewed does the rating count the same as when it is reviewed? If someone goes through and gives a bunch of 1 star ratings of albums they dislike does it affect the album's rating the same as someone giving their detailed backed-up opinion on it? Or is that worked out somehow that reviewed albums affect ratings more so or not so much. Which way do you think works better? I think people should be more encouraged to write reviews than just rate the albums personally. ------------- "The rock and roll business is pretty absurd, but the world of serious music is much worse." - Zappa |

First of all, I'll move this to Help Improve the Site, because this is where it belongs. To answer your question: as far as I know, rating without reviews and those with reviews have the same weight - this is what causes certain people to post 1- or 5-star ratings without reviews in order to manipulate an album's rating. however, reviews written by Collabs have more weight than those written by ordinary members. |

Erm ..... I might be wrong, but I believe there is a three tier system .... Rating only > factor x1 Rating with review (ordinary member) > factor x2 Rating with review (Collabs/Admin etc) > factor x3 |
