Yes, you can edit ratings/reviews you have already submitted. When you are on the page for a title that you have already rated, the "add a rating/review" button will instead say "edit your rating/review" and when you click it you can change stuff, add or remove stuff, basically do anything you want to it, except delete it. This is a good question, I'll add it to the OP.MomentOfInertia (post: 1494578) wrote:If I post a general review (i.e. 7/10) cna I come in later and add ratings or a text review?
Or edit a review of an ongoing show after the current season ends?
Edit: Or for a horrible grammar error.
I'm not sure how the algorithm works exactly. You'll have to harangue Mithrandir about that.MomentOfInertia wrote:It says "the ratings system does not calculate a pure mean" are they weighted based on review count? post count? membership duration? distance from the median score?

About that too. : )MomentOfInertia wrote:I like how you used 'wanton' twice in the ratings descriptions. XD

This would be fine. But it's important to keep in mind who your audience is. Who is going to be reading the review you submit? Would it be beneficial for the review to be long or short? This will depend on the series and your rating, I would assume. Use your best judgement to help others.rocklobster (post: 1494812) wrote:is it ok if I have an essay anyway?

I guess I don't have the right to say this, so just ignore me... I predict that this new system will become about as useful as the one at Animeseason.com, or the the game-reviewing system at IGN--so if that's the type of thing you like, then great!:thumb:
My hypothesis is this: the majority of 'reviews' will be from FANS of the series (pretty obvious!) who will cause the entire ratings system to become inflated... I'm sure there are users who will rate multiple series a '10', even though that rating is supposed to only be reserved for the 'best'... and if you rate something a '1', you probably get your rating removed, don't you?
Without any lower ratings to compare the higher ratings to, the system will become worthless... of course, no one likes to hear this sort of thing, so why don't we just continue rating all of our favourite series '9' and '10' and forget about objectivity?
Well, I might as well mention two (out of many) possible fixes:
1. Allow each user to rate 10 series that they have seen at a time, giving them a ranking of between 1 and 10 -- this actually would even out eventually to a proper rating for each series, where the descriptions would actually fit! In other words, something rated a 5 would be 'worth my time, but probably not watching again' instead of 'worst show ever!'
2. Have at least TWO staff (moderators) who are familiar with the series review each CONTENT rating BEFORE it appears on the site... this may mean that the quality ratings are simply being thrown to the wind--if so, then so be it! However, the CONTENT ratings are what separates this Christian site from any other site... and they should be the most important!

DISCLAIMER: Take this nonsense at face value at your own risk! Due to current statuses, drastic measures are required to make a point--but seeing as the point being made is more important than the individual making the point, completely disregarding the individual is probably the best option...

I care to see what you've said, Yoshi.
I see what you mean about the content of reviews. As a drastic example, let's suppose someone cusses throughout their review. Whether there's cussing in the anime/manga/game the fact is that someone put something negative in their review and it got immediately posted to the main page. Not good for our site's reputation, so hopefully there aren't people like that here.
I understand numbers aren't a good way of rating something. Already I've been looking at trying to rate things, and the numbers just don't fit. Words are worth a thousand numbers (or is it "a picture's worth a thousand words?" XD) - there isn't a numeric substitute for just explaining the details. They give us a vague idea of what a handful of the people here on this website think - that's all. They aren't supposed to represent some absolute value of the anime itself. I see your point, and hopefully more people write reviews, not just throw out a few numbers.

All of those questions you're asking regarding specificity become statistically irrelevant as the number of ratings grows, which was my point. What the graphs and numbers tell you is the overall sentiment of a group of people and how that sentiment trends.
It would in fact be a good idea. The old list is still there in case there are links to it, but the new system is intended to entirely replace the old system. If a title in our old list is not in our new database yet, please submit a suggestion for it.rocklobster (post: 1495109) wrote:Would it be a bad idea to do a review for a title that was reviewed on the old list?
