Right. So people rate blogs, and (at least some) people care. But some people like making ratings that don't actually reflect the qualify of the post, and that ruins it for everyone.

How about implementing a meta-moderation system? If you make a rating of 1 on a great post, and 10 other people rate it a 5, then your credibility rating drops. And vice versa. Also subject to abuse, but it will have to be more coordinated (and possibly more obvious). Search function yields a post by SonuvBob, saying that we don't have any such meta-moderation yet. But which also indicates it's already been given some thought.

could also do a system that weighs your votes against each other. So if you always vote 1, you won't count. If your only votes are 1 and 2, 2 will count as 5 and so on.

As should be apparent to any slashdot readers, I'm pretty blatantly taking their idea of metamoderation. Except that everyone has unlimited mod points.

Bad idea imo, ratings should reflect the average vote. Just because someone votes odd or stupid it doesn't mean that vote should be worth less.

And even if there's people always voting 1, the same applies to every blog, and better blogs generally get a higher ratings.

Can we just rid the rating system and have a featured blog or even the section from PX?

I think this is a great idea. It is far simpler than implementing karma + m2, and allows a difference of opinion while negating the effect of the 1/5 trolls.

Or if you want to be rally fancy you can correlate the votes with each other and present the user an estimate of what he would vote

Here's what I wrote in the other thread:

i think animenewsnetwork uses some system to weigh less for people who only rate super high and super low, not sure how it works though...

Looks like they won't divulge their method (so people can't figure out how to abuse it).

There's basically three voting patterns that skew the results:

1. People who are essentially "too nice" - always voting high (no 1's or 2's). Not a serious problem, but they raise the ratings of all the blogs they vote on, essentially lowering the blogs they don't read or vote on. Same with people who always vote low.

I think at least at some point IMDB took this into account, normalizing each user's votes.

2. People who always vote 5 for things they like and 1 for things they hate, figuring their vote will carry more weight.

This is easily detectable - if the standard deviation is close to 0 (always one particular number) or [update: avg(abs(3-rating)) is] 2 (all 1's/5's) for a user with more than a handful of votes, we can give their votes less weight.

3. Malicious users. Same as #2, except they tend to vote down all of a user's posts.

These are easy to detect, but I'm not sure what to do with them. I guess we could have a voting ban or something.

I just made a quick voting ban system for the users in group 3. 12 users added so far, and the ratings already look a lot more accurate.

Poor d4d dropped like 8 spots because he's the only one who wasn't mass 1'd by anyone. :p

or you could have like a poll tally...
dunno if this makes sense but, alright for example plexa makes an awesome 5/5 deserving post
and votes are as followed..
5: 200
4:10
3:10
2:10
1:50

it automatically accepts the 5, because that was the most popular one,
so basically what im suggesting is no averaging for individual blogs

yea well i mean i don't expect to get mass 5'd but you know theres something fishy when you drop from 4.6~ to 4.56 and hover there for while then randomly one day you drop another 0.2 even though no blog was posted
