Map Rate Sorting Thing

[GST_Nemisis]

in the maps section, if you choose rate as your sort type and decending, it shows u the top rated maps almost randomly. there should be a way where the most consistently top rates maps are top, so a map rated 5 with only one vote is not ahead of a map rated 4.5 with 20 votes. i dont know how u can do this buts its an idea.

why would you put the lower rated map first? because more people have rated it?

If people want that they can search downloads...

(not to be a pessimist)

 

[GST_Nemisis]

well just because a map had been downloaded 1000 times doesnt mean its good, it just means its popular. and just because one person voted a map 5/5 doesnt mean its better than another map where 100 people voted it to 4.5/5. a map with consitenly high votes is obviously better than a map with one of two high votes, even if the former is slightly less. i mean what if a single fan or the autor of the map voted it 5/5? or what if some idiot purposely vote a map with 10 5/5 vote a 0/5 vote bringing it to 4.54/5? is it fair it is brought down below a one vote map because of an idiot? i hope not. the bottom line remains the same:

a map with consitenly high votes is obviously better than a map with one of two high votes

But how do would you know that was an idiot voting? We be like saying to the person(s) who voted 0/5, we you think your vote is worthless. What if it was the idiots who vote 5/5?

well at the beginning I had that system you talk about..
So when it is making the rating of the map it takes the amount of raters lets say thats 3
and then we take the votes
3,4,5

so what you normally do is that you say (3+4+5) / 3
but what I did was I said (3+4+5) / (3 + 1)
So the more rates you have, the less the 1 single bonus rater counts.

so if someone have voted 5 once
it is
5 / (1+1)
which means that it will be 2,5 and not 5

I actually think it wasnt 1 but it was like 0.2 or something

no no ur not getting it, it doesnt matter because a map with consitenly high votes is obviously better than a map with one of two high votes. thats why other sites use that type of sytem, because it works!! i mean, u go to the download section and you want the best map, but when u click sort by rank u get loads of maps with only one vote, and the maps with 40 vote are near the bottom. it doesnt work, it just doesnt! you may as well get rid of sort by rank completely.

anyways ralle would you think about bringing that system back?

On a side note. . .I noticed there is hardly any maps that are rated at all. . .how about when we download from now on, we rate the map?

 

[Ralle]

that would be awesome.. or maybe you get some point when doing it... HEY What about you have 10 points from beginning. you get 3 point for rating a map and it cost 1 point to download a map

 

[Healingpoison]

Then make it so that people can only rate maps they download or else poeople might just randomly vote for maps.

@GST_Nemisis - Get it now. Just clicked I was missing a bit of it. Thanks

Ummm. . .couple problems. . .

1) You'll probably get fewer downloads. . .(Who wants to HAVE to rate maps)
2)You'll get a bunch a fake ratings of people randomly rating stuff so they can dl more maps. =P

 

[GST_Nemisis]

this is true... depending on how important you find the voting system you can do a few things. to be hounest i would just use the system you said earlier. it works and you get no back fire.

I wish it were able to be sorted alphabetically.

 

[Healingpoison]

alphabetically would be nice because a lot of the time im looking for a specific map.

 

[Ralle]

then use the search feature?

 

[Healingpoison]

I dont always know the full name, and searching part of it would bring up tons of searhes

 

[Ralle]

well thats good
