Re: Suggestion--Rating Songs/Steps

any rating system will be abused. obviously. but generally speaking, things should be abused fairly equally, meaning that all the abuse cancels itself out... what it likely does is artificially skew everything inward.

*shrugs*

there are enough positives on this for it to be worthwhile to do.

Re: Suggestion--Rating Songs/Steps

abuses like making new accounts and multiple voting would happen.

ingame rating system would be nice, but just adding the voting section on this site is ok.

Now it's "hip" to hate bicycle break lol.

Re: Suggestion--Rating Songs/Steps

law of large numbers guys

Over time the ratings would still converge to something reasonably accurate, even if people try to abuse the system. The effect of abuse would have little effect unless it is done really early on and raters take that skewing into their own consideration.

Re: Suggestion--Rating Songs/Steps

exactly rubix. plus you'll have abusers on both sides... people who rate things 0 for no reason, and others who rate things 5 for no reason.

in the end, assuming abuse is 1-sided to a negative rating, it still will be fairly uniform... which means that you're basically making it a smaller range, perhaps 0-3, instead of 0-5. so it'll skew the ratings all closer to each other, but there will be enough legit ratings that it shouldn't matter in the long run.

math and logic are our friends.

You should also be able to change your vote on a song/step, of course, without voting again. After getting better at FFR, you may realize that the stepfile isn't as bad as you previously thought it was.

I'm not sure that would be too acceptable. However, I think that the addition of it would be 50/50.

By the way, I just noticed this thread. I think this is a very nice idea; like most other people have said, the possibilites for song/stepfile ranking is endless. It might be good that, if the rating is going to be 0/5, consider display the rating in stars, or anything of the sort.

Anyway, I shall support this 1000%.

i feel like stargroup is our token old angry guy who sits in a wheelchair in the corner, bitching at everything, being ignored by everyone.

Re: Suggestion--Rating Songs/Steps

Difficulty will be an important factor of rating.

There will be newbs like "omg I can't pass this song, it's retarded. rating 0/5", or veterans like "This file is understepped and boring, rating 1/5".

and yea rating should be changeable.

Who?

And, I love this idea. Something about voicing your opinion and having it actually "heard" sits well with me.

EDIT: I also think it would be interesting to have another one of those "Show" boxes on people's profiles that allows you to see ratings they've given to songs. Just a thought.

Make it so the rating thing is at the results screen and you have to pass it to rate. It will decrease pointless spamming from users and decrease the amount of people who rate ZOMG TOO HARD 0/5!

I like that. That needs to be added to the song rating requirements.
