Well, what I meant by brownie points was that in addition to your rating you could give a certain amount of points that just got added up and showed up by the rating (only by advanced users). Example (dates etc. are omitted):



Name of Level | Rating | Brownie Points

Example010101 | 8.6834 | 56



I then thought of a better idea - Advanced Ratings. It'd be another column where simply all "Advanced Raters" ratings were averaged. They'd go a little like this:



Name of Level | Rating | Advanced Rating

Example010101 | 8.6834 | 7.4



Now I have yet another idea that goes by the name of "Weight". The more reviews etc. a reviewer has the more "weight" they get. For instance, if both I and a newbie rated a level, it wouldn't be the exact average. It would be closer to my rating since I had more "weight". The only problem with implementing this would be fiddling around with mathematical equations to get the "weight" down right and dealing with members with different "weight" totals. Perhaps the weight would have to be preportional and would be calculated for each rating, maybe through a ranking of all the users.



The system that this would be based off of is still up to speculation, though. Whether it is based off of number of reviews or karma seems to be the issue as those are the only plausible alternatives to rank people by. My vote would be towards karma, as it is detailed in the upcoming thoughts.



I think karma should work identically to a level being reviewed, except obviously it is about a person. Perhaps people could have a "Karma Rating" right next to their name or under it.



Monolith: It sounds like we just need more levels in quality and quantity. ;P



Another general idea for improvement on J20 is for all of the tenths in each number be selectable. Possibly you could pick them in different columns - you pick your initial number and then you have another column listing the tenths in which the script adds each other together to get the level rating.



Also I would like to see level ratings displayed to the hundreths (maybe even thousandths, but anything past hundreths seems pretty ridiculous) visibly in the download area and everywhere else.



Hehe, once a long rater always a long rater - my rants are always long whether they're on levels or not, like now.
