starcraft.org fanfiction rating system

[AppleTurtle]

hey,

I play starcraft, i look at starcraft.org, im not sure if this is even remotly an issue with warcraft.org. knowing that, let me continue.

the top 10 list for fanfiction is obsolite (<- good word but i cant spell), just going by the ammount of times it has been viewd has caused problems:

1. some1 can get into the top 10 just on a catchy title.
2. once on the top 10 they have more publicity and people think its good, so they look at it and realise it sux.
3. once it hits nomber 1 it has the most publicity and everyone is viewing it, and seeing how bad it is.
4. this waistes space and time that would normally be spent on a good story (almost like this thread)

here's how i think the problem should be fixed, multipy the views by the user rating, so if a story has 2000 views but only 5% rating, it gets knocked down to 100 (incert catchy name for units of measure here).
views x rating = actual

my thoughts,

Some people may hate you for this topic but I think it's perfectly right. It's the shit. And Deadfast with Bane whould crush Dreko, well...atleast I know Bane better, and Deadfast..though none of them knows me, though. Heh. Vote Bane/Deadfast for President! P.S. It's Obsolote.

You should probably send a PM to BSTRhino about this, as he's doing a lot of the site work at starcraft.org. However, I don't know if he does anything with the content.

Neg, it's obsolete.

I'll pass on the message to Rhino, but that's a great idea AppleTurtle. Thanks!

I'm right here. Hey AppleTurtle, I saw your comment post in one of the fanfics with this idea. Actually I think I replied to it too.

That is a great idea, I agree. Adding on to your idea, a thing that allows you to rate at the same time you post comments would be good too, since I noticed a lot of the stories get comments before they get ratings.

I'm sure it can be done... but I need to work out how to write that in SQL, so it'll take some time for me to work out how to do that...


And I'm saying Bane. I haven't read Bounty Hunter yet (sorry spartan)
