The Top 15

[masada]

Are the rankings in the Top 15 decided by the "Was this review helpful?" button, or are they decided by something else?

100% correct. An average is calculated by the pro/con votes on all reviews a user has submitted. Based on that rating, the user is ranked on the site. And the best 15 of those are listed in the Top15 list. :)

How often is this list updated?

[masada]

I've seen it updated twice in one day. I don't know besides that.

To be honest "Was this review helpful?" isn't the same as "Is this review good?" I don't need a good review to tell me to stay away from bands like Nickelback. Just a very clear "Get the hell away. They blow" would be incredibly helpful, though not a good review.

Well in the end, it's helpful reviews we're aiming for. And I don't think that any example is that extreme

[br3ad_man]

Still, I (and some other people) thought my Coldplay review was good enough. But I had about 4 or 5 people vote against it because they thought it was a 4 or 5. I find reviews that I disagree with helpful, but anyway. Not sure what the point of posting that was, but I thought I would anyway.

[DFelon204409]

Probably wasn't as bad as that Brand New review.

[br3ad_man]

Lets hope not.

I'm going to redo that just so you get off my *** about it.

How often do they often do they even update it? It doesn't seem like it's updated very often; the Top 15 list. :confused:

Oh noes, change of heart? :p

[masada]

Nobody really answered the question. I haven't seen it updated for a few days or so, or at least it seeems like it.

Meanie :upset:

Aw, I don't want to come across as the resident meanie of the Sputnikmusic forum, heh.

I apologize :)

Yeah, mine and br3ad's scores are wrong and have been for a few days.

Not that it affects our placings or anything, just a mild annoyance.

:confused:

From what I can tell, all is ok. The score given next to your name is the same as it is given in your userprofile. Same goes with AntiHero/Jom.

[Iai]

wtf.....it only just updated.

Oh well, crisis over.

[Damrod]

"Damrod saves the day with his magic touch"

;)

[Neoteric]

I'd like to know aswell how often it is updated.

[Jom]

The answer is obvious: when Damrod feels like it :p

[br3ad_man]

Oh well, crisis over.

My friend says that, I didn't think anyone else did. But there you have it. Someone else, in fact, does.

[Damrod]

Before the server change, the script ran automatically at least once a day. I don'T know why it does not to that anymore. I'll make a note and run it manually once a day.

[masada]

You go, Damrod.

[Neoteric]

woo, just hope it isn't too much work for ye.

[Damrod]

/late

I normally update it once a day. I'm currently not at my normal computer, meaning that I haven't been doing so, as this is the first time I've been on in about 10 days or something like that. The top 15 is updated manuall by either me, mx, or Damrod, via a script. That basically summarises everything said so far, basically.

But wasn't that inculded in the auto-update script before the server change, or have I missed something? :confused:

[Killtacular]

Seems the list hasn't been updated in about... 4 or so days.
