There are several big sites that have adopted this part about easy rating, we are not in a stage right now where we are willing to remove our different variables but I totally agree with you Abyzz about making it too complex makes us lose votes..

We are also looking at changing the rating categories of 4 with 1-5 stars to 1-2 sliders with 1-5 with 0.1 increments. One slider would be Overall rating and the other would be genre specific, such as "Skill" on PvP movies.

What scare me about those statistics is that they show an overall tendency to max out grades. I only have my own view on this, but to me a full 5 star movie is virtually a perfect movie, and those should be few and far between. What I'm seeing is (at least) 5 movies per week above 4.86 rating by those users who should have the best starting point to properly judge a movie. Be that as it may, in regards to a title I could be brash and suggest calling it "Famous" (e.g. "#2 Most Famous Week 22"), as Fame is basically what triggers the achievement.
I'll come back with a more thorough input once I'm done golfing. |

But to think we can change a generation of youtube voters I feel is aiming a bit too high. We will never get a perfect rating system, there are just too many feelings involved in a gaming community like WoWs and a large portion of the voters are either fanboys or haters.

That may very well be, but I think it largely has something to do with ignorance about the given rating perimeters. Many people simply don't know what they should base their evaluation on when looking at editing, creativity etc., and therefore these ratings are merely displaying the general impression of the movie ("if I like it, editing must be 5!"). To think that people can somehow learn this is utopia, but I do believe much of it has to do with rating complexity, and that's an aspect you control.
Adding to that I'm not sure what you wish to accomplish with the new sliders. We can only be so precise, and I don't know about you, but I would never have a clue whether a movie should receive 4.1 in content or 4.2, and I wouldn't be able to justify either of them over the other. I mean think about it, that's basically 50 degrees for each four perimeters - even professionals (look at school systems) never have more than 10 degrees in which to rate. Or maybe I'm misunderstanding this slider concept? |

How would this genre specific rating work? I mean, there are lots of genres, and there are lots of movies that go across some of these. Is it not risky to let it all out on one figure (e.g. skill), when a good PvP movie is made up of so much more? Skill most definitely has an impact on the level of entertainment, but to me humor actually has an even bigger impact. If I find myself laughing throughout a movie, it can be poorly edited or display zero skills all I care, I would never hesitate to recommend it to others. Similarly, many other things are just as important as skills. |

We are still planning out the new rating system. We have been a bit busy with the release of Age of Conan but this is still def. on the roadmap.

Here's another good example why the current rating system fails miserably... I recently rated a video called "Mission 4.5 - Elemental Mage PvP" with a rating of 3/2/3/3. A low rating for a high-rated video, but I stick by my rating; the video itself deserved those numbers. The player IN it was skilled, and I never said otherwise. Here's my rating comment:
Quote:
Today I logged on, and noticed someone had sent me a private message. Nothing too bad, just saying it was worth watching etc. Well, I went to check my rating of the video. My comment was at "-9" points and hidden. I was not downrating because of the author. I was not downrating because of music. I was not downrating because of the class. I was not downrating because of the race. I was not downrating, period. I gave an honest opinion of the video itself, but SKILL WORSHIPING FANBOIS and the like decided to vote my rating and comment down to oblivion. Should I rate it 5, because it already has a rating of 4.50+ or because the player in it is skilled, even though the video is average, period? I personally don't think so. But apparently giving an honest opinion, if it's going against the fanboi masses, is useless, and by the popular fanboi vote your honest rating gets "disappeared". This is why the rating system fails. Unless of course you want it to be like this; quality of the video is irrelevant as long as the player in it is skilled and the video becomes popular? |

As far as fame being an indicator of good ratings...
2 comments below mine there's a comment made by a person called "Wombat" (Wombat @ 08-05-25 03:54), giving full 5 points, and his comment says "Highskill!". He has a fame of 60. 'nuff said? |
