Mr. Rating Balancer - hello !
Mister :D Whoever (or whatever scripted) you are and scanning people's/prod's ratings and "voting" low, like 4 or 6 to keep those people/prods suddenly not appearing high on lists you are my hero and I love you. [ Just seen this "voting" again on Stinsen's rating page ].

gpz, as moderator, I should probably remove your pointless provocative comment, but I think you will appreciate when I just point out that fact to you. ;-) |

Anyone can state a fact... for example, fact is that no matter how many votes entry gets, you can hurt it's score just by 1-2 dowvnotes (in higly competitive charts where differences between entries are "hundredth" so your popular doctrine that with more votes comes more fairness isn't an universal solution. |

Quote: Quoting Perff from 2002:
"I will not describe exactly how it is calculated, but I'll try to come with a brief explanation here.
The weighted average is a modified mathematical average which take into account the spread and number of votes.
This results in that the weighted average will always be smaller (or the exact same) as the mathematical average.
The higher the spread and/or the fewer votes, the lower the weighted average is compared to the mathematical average.
Noone said that this is the correct way to do it, but it's better than simply using the mathematical average."
Also Perff, a year later:
"As I posted in another tread I have made a new 'weighted average' function that tries to find and eliminate the fake (extreme) votes."
Not sure how the algorithm works (I'm assuming it removes extreme downvotes and upvotes), but if it was up to me, I'd remove all those votes from the calculation which are unusually "lonely" and strike out from the average as well.
When do we get to see the algorithm, so we can have a proper up and down-voting weekend? |
