Of course, which is why we implimented an algorithm with logarithms to try and lessen the weight of "far out" votes... like 1's or 2's for a car with an average of 9.78.

The system isn't perfect, none of them are.... but I've listened to every suggestion and put as much thought as possible toward making it the best I can.

If you have any suggestions as to what I can do to improve it, I'd be more than happy to review and consider them though.

That's what I am saying that I think it is just about as good as it will get. You have a good system in place and seems to be fair. There are a lot of nice cars here too....

something that i strongly advise is setting it so people can't vote for their own cars.....that will hlp with people screwing with how they rate cars to jockey for position

what im saying is there is no reason my car should be ranked in the top 40

i think people also vote not only for the mods a car has but the quality and look of the pic presented. If the pic is all blurry and crap, there probably gonna revive a lower rating than someone who has a beautiful well laid out pic of there car that helps showcase its beauty.

Look at the difference in Torque and beem's ratings.

I just got a 1 again too

Presentation has a lot to do with how much an image affects people.

I took a dozen pictures of my 840 at the Concours in Seattle last year and ended up selecting someone elses picture as showing best what I wanted others to see.

By the way there seem to be only 2 cars left in the top ten that have an overall Rating of 8 or higher

That shouldn't matter though, because almost everyone would give themselves a 10. haha

Well anyway, how can anyone give any 8, well, less than well, an 8?

WTF, I got a couple of 1's now. I mean, is my car really that bad????? J/K but it sucks, I think all 1's should be deleted b/c it is just someone being a prick.

**TerryY** · 06-27-2005, 07:32 PM
