[idea] a bit of fun for ratings - real Charts
Remember in the old days when there were votesheets and we were voting for _active_ groups/ppl and sometimes the first page to open in new mag was charts in a hope to see own nick in there in top 10? :):)
why not resurrect this?
Let's say the scoreboard to get divded into all-time rating and active-rating. With some ruling, for instance - no new prod in past 12 months you out of "active scoreboard".
This can still pump up the scene as it is now, same as it was pumping it 20 years ago.
What say you? :) |

Well you don't need to do votesheets for this. Simply a code for Charts which would use current (a bit broken but still) voting, just whith a query checking if there's been a new release from the scener/group in a past 12 or 6 months (which can be tricky :] )
Quoting Yazooyes... but unfortunately the vn or attitude dont contain charts anymore :(
there you go... |

..but :) if you would allow for an externall query of the ratings (ideally via API if you have it) I could try to get this done (or get a help) and hosted myself.
How about that? |

ehmmm, not a coder here, so i leave this a bit, and hope perff will take a look and see if this is possible for him and what this entails. Be patient, this may take a while |

I also dont think that CSDB is the place to do this, because its a database.
But to all the diskmag editors reading this: WE WANT DA CHARTS!!! |

I usually avoid rating discussions as they're pointless.(pun intended)
All statistical results are lies. In reality, there is no such thing as an average and even if there was some useful average measure, it is bad decision making to base judgement on that, especially if samples are people.
For instance, assume that there are two men, one that is 165 cm and one that is 185 cm. If you go and buy a shirt to both based on average height, you'll have a shirt for 175cm man and there is no 175 cm man. The shirt will be too big for one, and too small for the other and neither are happy.
Some think that votes of others are somehow wrong or purposedly manipulated up or down. That is just one consequence of the one dimensional average problem. Some believe their opinion don't matter and others think theirs should matter more, some ignore and some abuse the system.
In this light, Bookers suggestion of external charts is step into better direction. I hope it'll be taken far enough and produces more than one dimensional view of all items. Perhaps allow everyone their charts and own scales of awesomeness. |
