Topic: Ideas for the site

@FishyS hidden feature alert... you can do this, if you enter into the search box "min-ratings:1000" it will restrict the min-required number of ratings to include, example URL: https://www.nintendolife.com/games/browse?sort=rating&tit... So this does already exist, just doesn't have any UI options for it at the moment.

@JaxonH hmm I think that sounds a little too complicated to be honest, rating a game out of 100 is incredibly hard. For simplicity sake, we wanted to mirror our review scoring system for readers, so there is more parity. We rate out of 10, so users can rate out of 10. That said, I would like to show a more detailed breakdown of the score (so you can see the distribution etc) and even filter by country etc. Something for the future!

@Snatcher we've considered user reviews for a while... the scoring system is already setup to support this so it's possible we'll add it in the future.

@antdickens I hope so, thanks for the response.

@antdickens
Admittedly, it sounds more complicated than it is. On the user end, basically, this is what I mean

An average user score of where the arrow is, but the margin of error showing the spread. Lower number of review scores would result in a wider margin of error. Understanding the math behind it can be daunting for someone unversed, but I would gladly volunteer to help if needed (if such a thing were to ever be implemented).

A simple, easy and effective approach would be to simply demarcate +/- 2 standard deviations of scores, which any spreadsheet can calculate (such as excel). Whatever software is calculating the average score on the site should also be able to handle standard deviation.

Only reason I suggested 100 is, a 10 point scale wouldn't provide the best resolution for measurements such as these. But it could still work. After all, it would just be a rough estimate for ppl to gage the range of scores awarded.

But ya. No worries either way. Just wanted to convey its perhaps not as complicated as I was making it sound.

@JaxonH Okay, feel free to email over a working spreadsheet and I can feed in some data to see how it might differ from existing scores. Could be interesting. Pretty sure you have my email?

@antdickens
Yup!

Will do

Neat. Thank you for the reply @antdickens

Interesting to see Odyssey is the only game with 3,000 user scores. I agree with Jason it would be nice to see a statistical score, but unfortunately a lot of the data sets are too small even for that to tell much. Too bad we can't force everyone who uses the site to rate their games XD

Maybe a sarcasm font. Some nfl sites I follow have one and it makes sarcasm a lot easier to see and know it is sarcasm. I know for sure some people have blocked/ignored me a few weeks back due to a sarcastic post about nobody wanting switches and everybody wanting a PlayStation. I think the comment even got removed for trolling when it was sarcasm.

@blindsquarel that's an interesting idea, I've not seen that before — could be quite fun! (no sarcasm!)

It would be cool to have an article covering what tracks have appeared in Mario Kart Tour so far. Given the connection that seems to be present between Mario Kart Tour and the Booster Course Pass so far it would interesting to see what the remaining Booster Course Pass tracks could be if it does end up being that all Tour tracks (new and retro) come to MK8 Deluxe.

@X-Slayer I don't understand, as I don't think I understand the context.

@X-Slayer OOOOH you mean the mods, or the writers, ok I understand, so you think there should be a limit with how much they can comment on a topic? Could you link it?

@X-Slayer Ok I will check it out, and give my thoughts afterward K? Because if this is true, I will support it.

@X-Slayer You said there a mod right? I don't see anything, I see every playing along just fine.

@X-Slayer So they don't have the star next to there profile? And they look like a normal users?

@X-Slayer I don't think your made excuses at all, I just really don't know who your talking about. I know you said you didn't want to link it, but maybe you can delete it after 2 min?

@X-Slayer OOOOOOh, so there people doing some heavy profile trolling, I'm stupid LOL. I still not sure who it is tho since I know a lot of the people there.

@X-Slayer Thats why I couldn't find it, well thats a good thing right?

Even tho it sucks you had to go through such lengths to get it done.

@X-Slayer
Did you mean that user i knew him from PushSquare with removed comment for trolling ?

Who got banished?

Have I missed something?
