yes it was, but now i explain in a good way how it works and why it should be better.

Does no one like this idea ? and want to stay in the same old foot prints...

yes.

I saw in the SMX site there's a rating system... I'm not using that site, I don't play SM at the moment. I was just cheking what's up with SM...Maybe I buy it soon... So my question (for the players using both games and sites) is: Do you think is works nice? It allows a dynamic movement of the maps in the best rated? Or remains static forever like awards with the same maps always on the top? Is there any exploites abused?

I know the topic was [i]near[i] to death. But SMX can be the key to learn about a rating system. I think if it works in the SMX site it will fit nice here... Or is there a big diference betwen both sites I missed?

it doesn't show anything at all, since forzy made prolly the worst implementation possible. it works like this: if you got all ratings 5, map rating will be 4.95-5. if you receive only ONE rating e.g. 4, overall map rating will be 3.95-4. with one more rating e.g. 1, it MIGHT decrease to 2.95-3. so system doesn't work. and never will, because forzy doesn't give a f**k about SMX.

to get better what I mean, just look most rated maps list.

I think this is for avoiding a map with just only vote (5 stars) go direct to top with a average of 5 stars...
The average systems often seems "stupid", specially with just a few votes... If I have two cars and you don't have none, the average says we have one car each other... But the more votes, the more representative... If you want to compare to maps, them should have the same (or near) number of votes.
Rate systems can be confused if you can't search what you want. In a ideal system you can search for example just maps with more than x votes (popular maps), maps with few votes or unrated (new maps)... And is more confusing when you show in the same list maps with lots of votes and maps with a few votes in the same list, and you try to order it by average.

Some people try to create formulas that allows to put toghether people like you (zero cars) and me (two cars). And this is because it seems weird. It's not logical, is just an average. And If I have 9 cars, and you have 1, you will have 5 cars. The most diference betwen two examples, the more ilogical it seems. I don't really think you can compare the rating of two tracks with diferent number of votes in a logical and representative way in order to know wich is on top and wich is down. Try the formula you want, and the final result will seem stupid and ilogical.

I think is better tu use the simple fórmula: X stars/X voters= rating. This way rating number is telling to you something logical you can easily understand without burning your brain with strange abstract formulas. But don't try to compare maps with 100 votes with maps with 2 votes by the average. This is just stupid, with the formula you want.

Anyway, the magic formula that can compare potatos with bananas is the same for everybody.... XD
