Phill,
How about taking your 5 star idea.. and let say averageing the scores...
to set up a default setting from 0.000 to 5.000 stars incase someone gets a star average of 4.666 stars It is highly unlikely they would get that many replies but also quite evil. going this far in the average would reduce ties and the numbers of 5 star performances or claimed revenge performances and make it a lot harder for someone to achieve a 5 star performance without deleting a song. If you were a true competitor you would take your ranking and accept it as I see it..
But the members would only get to rank on 1-5 star performance.

good luck...

Hold it.. I just re-read my post.. I'm not gonna go back and edit .. but I will ammend it here.. "the average should be from 1.000 stars to 5.000 stars"
not as previously stated "0.000 stars to 5.000 stars."

I see that somebody's post was deleted I appologise if i roughed up anyone's feelers for my error in checking my post for errors of intent as I intended to originally write it..

I Second what Tonmay said...70s genre please......please please.We do certainly have enough of it to merit it it for sure! pretty please phil? a 70s genre?

I 3rd that.. I do enough 70's stuff personally to qualify alone (ego trip time) to justify a 70's genre...

Great job Tony on bringing this up!

well, here's my spot on the 70s... or sixties or fifties or whatever we wanted to add...

we can do all that, but I thought the "oldies" was for anything over the 80's! !

In all honesty, each decade introduced different types of music. So in many ways, I don't like lumping them up under "oldies"... however, even the 80s is twenty years ago! ! Guess that fits now after all!

"I don't wanna grow up,
I'm a ToysRUs Kid!"

Since some of us Including myself now are groveling for phill to make changes..

I know (atleast in my own mind) BSS would probably step up on this next request... and maybe a few others....

Phill... SIR, (now I'm kissing up)

Could you please add a Bluegrass Genre also?

Thanks...

Last night on Family Guy the mom (Louis) made a comment about Whitesnake. The daughter said 'What's Whitesnake?'. To which Louis replied 'It's the music that mommies and daddies listen to." Man I felt old about then..... REAL old.....

Well done on the New Comments on the subs. I would never have gone back in and checked mine if I hadn't accidently clicked on my name while doing something else. It brought up my albulm, and I noticed a new comment. On a song I subbed a month ago!

Well done Phil! Page loads ten times faster! I still have some problems whenever it comes to clicking on the songs, and they take forever to start playing! Could be my connection, though!

Thanks for all the wonderful feedback and ideas...

I will start cracking on some of them tomorrow.

For now, I have been working on a few background items.

Take for example - Top Ranked Songs (Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, Half Year, Annual & Overall.) I have adjusted this to actually calculate the top ranking by using the following:

First, of course, Rank
Then how many votes.
Then how many comments.

Let's say three submissions have a rank of 10.
Two have had 5 votes and one had 4 votes. The first two would display higher than the third.

Then of these top two let's say that one had 10 comments where the other had 9 comments. The one with the greater amount of comments would be listed higher.

I think this is a fair system.

Now of course to recalculate everything so that it is using a star rating (1-5 stars) I am working on this...

What are your thoughts?

Phill
Still based on popularity... how about averaging them?

If not look at at the *broadjams* rating system.. it appears to be a scripting job but the critiquing system is a good one in my opinion.

If you need a screen shot of this page mailed to you let me know..

Brian -

Try sending these ideas via a PM or email instead of posting web addresses to competitor sites.

BTW - The scores are averaged! If a submission receives three votes one a 10, one an 8, and one a 6 the rank is an overall eight. ( (10+8+6)/3 = 8 )

Then they are calculated as whether the received more votes then more comments.

I think you may not have understood how this functions.

Was getting ready to walk out the door...

However, for a brief explanation:

1st - you are sent to the profile of the person whos submission you just ranked/commented on in order for the info to be inserted into their records and this updates the members profile.

2nd - after you have entered your comments and/or rank you are sent to the submittors profile, so that you can see other submissions that they have submitted.

I hope that helps...

I just E-mailed Phill a "Paste up" of *the* review page and a link. I think some may find it more than pleasing and quite neat to try.. Phill may be busy trying to implement it... If he finds it appealing to him..

It's really thorough...

I just remembered I don't think anyone can get in that addy unless they are a member anyways...... I forgot on that rule..

Divide all the rating by 2. A 10 is now 5 stars, a 9 is 4.5, etc.

That would allow all ratings to fall across a .5 - 5 ratings scale allowing the same resolution with half the scale. (I hope that makes sense).

This would allow for the migration of the existing rankings into the 'new' system.

Just my .02 worth of technical lunacy...

karaokemeister -

Okay that I figured... divide it by two!

What I am working on is to display the stars. That is where the scripting comes into play and I need to do it in such a method that it doesn't slow the site down. I am working on this and calculating the load times...
This what I wanted thoughts on...

I guess I should have worded that differently, made myself look stupid, didn't I...
