Are you allowing two minutes between each vote?Juan F. Ramirez wrote: ↑Thu Oct 22, 2020 5:17 pm I'm voting now and in every game, I have to vote several times (4 or 5) till the vote is registered, under Windows 10 (Chrome or Edge).
Anyone with the same issue?

Why are blokes (and I include me here) rubbish at reading instructions

Re: Announcing our new scoring system
Maybe is the craving for voting!
Re: Announcing our new scoring system
Oh, hang on - I voted for about a bunch of games earlier (21 I think), but I'm not sure it picked up most of my votes...
I misread the 2 minute thing as relating to voting for the same game twice... Is there any way I can find out which games I successfully voted for?
Is voting for 2 games within 2 minutes really classed as spam voting? I thought it might be nice to have a splurge, but that makes it a bit restrictive.
Also I think if there are going to be restrictions they need to be put on the voting page, there shouldn't be a need for documentation for rating a game IMO...
[Edit: Basically my 'splurge' voting was going through my personal top 20 and rating them all 10]

That explains Sqij, EastEnders and Renegade 3's perfect 10's!
Re: Announcing our new scoring system
It seems it's possible to vote for never released games.

Hi [mention]Morkin[/mention],
Here are your recorded votes:
Thank you for the feedback. I have made the grave mistake of previously changing things immediately based on feedback which landed me in trouble. Can I ask that you let the system bed in (Its only been live for 8 hours). We can review the feedback and make alterations, and add notifications maybe as you suggest.
The worry is (and I appreciate its a low risk), that someone joins the forum and randomly votes for anything and everything. That would of course be sortable by deleting the votes by that user, but its a pain. We can reduce the time gradually.
I'm sure once things have settled in we can make small amends such as reducing the 2 minute check.
PS: Enter the Entry_ID like this:

Re: Announcing our new scoring system
Yes, you can vote for anything. The votes database just looks at entries. If ZXDB has an entry you can vote for it.

...I didn't twig it wasn't registering my votes, I don't know if it's possible if that happens to have a message after submitting too many saying something like 'you must wait 2 minutes between votes' or whatever.

Re: Announcing our new scoring system
Looking at those votes it looks like it's one minute, rather than two. I will check with Israel.

Re: Announcing our new scoring system
Ok, 1 minute is a lot, no problem. I have reduced it to 15 seconds.
I think that is enough time to change game and think what score to put.
Let me know if something goes wrong.

Re: Announcing our new scoring system
Israel has just produced an excellent ranking page.
https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/rating.php
The page will over time get themed to match the rest of the site, and we will find a permanent home for it.

Re: Announcing our new scoring system
It's my top-100. I voted this way:
Positions 1 - 10: 10 points
11 - 25: 9 points
26 - 50: 8 points
51 - 100: 7 points
It's been a cool evening!
Now the rest of games, I'll search by companies, authors, etc and give them 7 or below.

Re: Announcing our new scoring system
Just a suggestion: For example, Knight Lore got an average score of 7.750 points, but in its entry only 7.8 is shown.PeterJ wrote: ↑Thu Oct 22, 2020 9:23 pm Israel has just produced an excellent ranking page.

7.75 should be the proper number to display. Two decimal positions.
Re: Announcing our new scoring system
Poor Sqij.
2 votes and a score of 0!

Re: Announcing our new scoring system
Sorry [mention]Juan F. Ramirez[/mention], but I think one decimal point on the game page is fine for these purposes. I don't want it to get too serious.Juan F.

Re: Announcing our new scoring system
i see it is for any entry as well, this can be confusing if different types have the same name, eg ChaosPeterJ wrote: ↑Thu Oct 22, 2020 9:23 pm Israel has just produced an excellent ranking page.

Thanks for the feedback. The entry ID is in the table too. Eventually we could hyperlink back to the game page.Lethargeek wrote: ↑Thu Oct 22, 2020 10:19 pm i see it is for any entry as well, this can be confusing if different types have the same name, eg Chaos

Re: Announcing our new scoring system
Nice work fellas.
I'm scared to place my first vote, as it sets my precedent. Do I go straight in and give Manic Miner a 10 or a 9? If I give it a 9, can I ever give anything a 10? Argh!

Re: Announcing our new scoring system
Clearly, you should give MM score 9. 10 is reserved for Target Renegade and Tetris 2 only.
On serious note, I realized I gave score in ranges 6-10 and 4-3 so far. There is reason why some voting system use scale of 0-5, the bigger scale can be little daunting
