Don't sweat it guys...
It isn't a popularity contest, and the stars will not make my code any better.
Thanks for the thought though. That certainly means more than a rating on a BBS.

Dear,
Most important things are
- you can rate someone only once. correction isn't possible afterwards.
- indeed answers will not become better, but the value guarantee possible
quality.
- it is clear now why five stars are become five stars. possible that it is
better that UBB board get the capability of rating topics.
More important what the actual reactions are from members. As user it isn't
possible to see who and why he or she is rating you.
greetings.

Dear,
We get those information from Infopop (creator of UBB software), but possible that we can verify it
when we know who gives me this afternoon some stars. Possible Shawn did it.
We have general stars information before that we get an additional star.
Always the biggest problem is that we can't see which users had give our stars.
greetings.
btw: did you follow also our link to related InfoPop topic.

Dear Shawn,
The algorithm tals also about WeightForVote
FinalRating = Sum([Vote]*[WeightForVote])/Sum([WeightForVote])
What "weighted score" do you have?
Our profile shows following information related to ratings
Member Ratings

25 4.99
The information before was:

Mine is:
code:
Your Rating Total Votes Weighted Score
***** 36 4.88
So if i read this correctly, Radimus is like a hair's width away from a five, yeah ? Like .36 of a vote.
heh, plus even though I got more votes than you MCA, you have a better weighted score than I do, like you probably have about 24 five star votes, and maybe one or two 3 & 4 ratings.

so if I uderstand correctly...
A 5 start vote from a 5 star member 'counts' more than a 5 star vote from a 1 star member
If that is the case, then a bunch of 1 star\0 star member could give 5 star ratings and actually bring down your score/average.
Is that right?

Dear Shawn,
The strange thing is that everybody gets only one vote by highest rating from us.
Some guys we had also forget, but Infopop information tells us that rate value
isn't the same as new vote value.
FinalRating = Sum([Vote]*[WeightForVote])/Sum([WeightForVote])
Radimus can you return current weight. We just give you also five stars.
Shawn, possible that Infopop return more info what values it is using. F.e. they can
return a example.
greetings.

Thanks Radimus,
The question is now more: what is influencing the weight value?
We will search for it.
greetings.

Dear Jack,
We only link to a related topic from the Infopop forum board. We hope that the description by them
was clear, but we see also strange things.
A great amount of members gets 5-stars from me, but it results only in ONE vote.
A short list of it:
votes before after 5-stars with our weight of 4.99
4 5
9 10
15 16
16 17
17 18
21 22
Possible that the Infopop can return more information about our latest experiences.
We doesn't have the actual code too, but everyone thinks "description of programmer will be clear, but
it isn't".
greetings.
