Had a suggestion for this site - ratings concern

#1 Post by Special »

First off I love this site, I have found so many amazing and useful programs that I never new existed because of you guys such as FreeFileSync, Greenshot, HashMyFiles, HxD, RegScanner, ReNamer, Sizer, Blah blah I can go on and on here :D , I use most of them everyday and now cannot imagine life without them. But anyway the reason for this post was I had a suggestion that I think would make this site even better.

The way things are rated currently can be a bit misleading unless I'm horribly mistaken, like you see something that's rated a 4.5/5 stars, great but that can be misleading if only one person has voted, alternatively one person might vote a 5 and another a 1, bringing it's average down to 2.5, would it not be wise to have next to the star rating the number of voters? 4.5/5 (76) for example.

I actually had two more suggestions but after thinking about them a bit more as I was typing they were pretty redundant overall so I'll save you time and just keep this post much shorter.

You are. Try to hover over the "stars" with your mouse. To understand how it all works, search this site for "popularity score algorithm"
