02.23.21 | I got deweighted on rym, how do I undo that ? |
GhandhiLion
02.23.21 | stop 0.5ing everything |
Cygnatti
02.23.21 | I only have 103 0.5/5's :/
That's like 1% of my ratings. Tbh I'm pretty sure my account was deweighted from the very start so idk man. |
ShadowRemains
02.23.21 | ratings on rym are so whack (not to mention the shitty ass reviews that rival metallum) |
GhandhiLion
02.24.21 | @Cygnatti
It could be a manual deweighting for some reason. When you say deweighted do you mean 0%? |
Cygnatti
02.24.21 | I mean that when I upvote or downvote a genre or rate an album, the genre tags and the average album rating never actually change. They "count" it, but it is not "weighted", so to speak. |

Prancer
02.24.21 | just make sure you rate everything super low, even if you like the album |
parksungjoon
02.24.21 | proposed rating system:
0.5 - dont care
1 - ok
1.5 - good
2 - the best
(optionally) 2.5 - personal favourites? |

02.24.21 | fuck literally all of your tastes in music |
rabidfish
02.24.21 | It's shit yea. Only good thing about it is the database and some good curated lists. Community is full of pedantic assholes, hype trains and sore pussies |
nolerthebowler
02.24.21 | so sputnik? |
rabidfish
02.24.21 | No, the database is good, I told ya. |
Cygnatti
02.24.21 | ^^^^ |
ReefaJones
02.24.21 | The database is amazing. I don't even bother finding new shit on sputnikmusic. It's a waste of time. |
WalrusTusk
02.24.21 | Never actually used it until today when I decided to check it out. The rating seem a little bit harsher on their than here, but seems legit. And yeah, I've already found some really interesting shit for 2021 on there so... might have to have a toe in both worlds. |
ShadowRemains
02.24.21 | if the max any classic album gets is like a 4.1/5 average, there's a problem with your rating pool
i only use the site for charts to find music |
WalrusTusk
02.24.21 | It seems like a few albums get to 4.3. In general I would agree though, I think Sputnik's ratings are usually on point. |
Jacquibim
02.24.21 | Highest RYM average is 4.35 for Black Saint and The Sinner Lady which isn't bad considering they've got an increment below 1.0 and a much, much larger userbase |
Avagantamos
02.24.21 | everyone's rating is weighted equally on sputnik, but not on RYM. I think this a big reason for that difference |
WalrusTusk
02.24.21 | Wait, what do you mean it's not weighted equally? |
GhandhiLion
02.24.21 | People who review a lot of albums have a little bit more influence on an album average. Also people who are too negative with their ratings (e.g most of their ratings are 2s and 1.5s) get little to no weighting. |
NorthernSkylark
02.24.21 | If I can’t find shit on rym it just doesn’t exist. |
Cygnatti
02.24.21 | by-in-large, rym's average rating is just 5-8% lower than sputnik, which makes sense as they have a 0.5/5 rating and we don't.
"everyone's rating is weighted equally on sputnik, but not on RYM. I think this a big reason for that difference"
If everyone was weighted equally on rym, the avg ratings would prob all drop a decent amount. |
parksungjoon
02.24.21 | >If everyone was weighted equally on rym, the avg ratings would prob all drop a decent amount.
are you sure? a lot of old/inactive accounts are weighted less or not at all, and the ones that only have 5s arent weighted either |
Cygnatti
02.24.21 | I didn't know about the old/inactive ones, but otherwise, yeah I think so.
I've seen people complaining about other people saying "This is great!" => rates it a 2.0/5. And then I recalling seeing someone saying "well, they're prob de-weighted anyways xD" |

Colton
02.24.21 | I don’t think I’ve ever read a good RYM review. Having written reviews on there should make your ratings count less not more |

02.24.21 | rym's community sucks tbh, ive always preferred hanging out here. but rym does have like 10 million albums sputnik doesnt have. im in the process of adding them all |

Cygnatti
02.24.21 | The rym FAQ is telling me there are no weighting restrictions on my account, but I still know for a fact that my rates and votes have 0 impact on anything so idk what that means. |

yea iktf... apparently u should message a mod |

02.24.21 | the best way to use rym is not logged on |
sonictheplumber
02.24.21 | then you cant see album art. i have one account i cant really use cause they ban me as soon as they notice me |
sonictheplumber
02.24.21 | i get autobanned cause ive had like 100 new accounts over the years |
sonictheplumber
02.24.21 | strict ass place but lookin for new music here is probably why so many people have queef taste |
sonictheplumber
02.24.21 | as in lookin on sputnik only. pure dildo |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
02.24.21 | I can see album art.... |
sonictheplumber
02.24.21 | i guess its cause i listen to metal, a ton of shit is censored on there so i stay logged in and have my age as like 100 |
parksungjoon
02.24.21 | yea they censor porn and nazi imagery by default |

02.24.21 | I peruse rym lists for stuff to peep occasionally because it is a far better resource than sput on that front
But I mostly just use it for help with release dates and genre tags/descriptors because they are super comprehensive on the latter. I don't know a single other site with as reliable tags as rym. Still not perfect, but better than anything else I've seen by far |
parksungjoon
02.24.21 | the new search function / charts is also very good |
nolerthebowler
02.24.21 | that's literally impossible because you keep clicking on this list which is subliminally filling your head with WeenThoughts™℠®© |

02.24.21 | the fact that it takes like 10 seconds total to get a comprehensive list of, i dont know, albums tagged both trip-hop and jazz released between 1995 and 2005 *outside* the uk is pretty sick |
nolerthebowler
02.24.21 | This is your brain on Weenâ„¢ |

WalrusTusk
02.24.21 | "I peruse rym lists for stuff to peep occasionally because it is a far better resource than sput on that front"
I'll probably do the same. It seems like a great resource to find music, but the shit posting of this community is more interesting to my tiny brain. |

02.24.21 | yeah i just am so familiar with this site and know so many people that it would be hard to go anywhere else |
