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 ].
C'mon, don't be shy, reveal yourself. :) |

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? |

Indeed.
Competitions, challenges, rivalry, building prestige, demonstrating preeminence and power, votes and charts built this fucking scene and those roots are still deep in the ground. You can't except from people who literally grew up in this overly competitive ambient to suddenly hold their hands and sing the jolly, careless Knoeki-song just because you're not affected by the obviously flawed vote system. |

Quoting CreaMDAnyone 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.
Interesting :) I was about to prove you're wrong with screenshots but I could not take them at the time (I was on the road). Regardless. I've checked the board with the phone (sorry dunno how to take screens with shitty blackberry, never needed it). Anyways, today earlier when HCL complained both of Uncensored and Comaland were off the tops I checked that and by that time it already changed - Edge of Disgrace was first, Uncensored second, Coma Ligth 13 3rd and Comaland 4th. (unsure about 3/4rd place but no matter).
I had an idea to cheer up our good man HCL and to make BD demo to be on the top I've simply changed my vote 10 on EOD to 1 and viola! Magic! Uncensored first again.
EOD has 308 votes, and one vote from booker vote made it smack down from the first place to the second. YAY I'M a scoreboard God - I CAN MOVE IT :D And EOD has only one vote of 1 - MINE! Cool :D
Do your maths again sir, or maybe even beter, open your eye (one closed is still ok)
With warmest regards
Your friendly bitching booker [closely being watched over] back from the dead :) |
