minty901: Please let users rate in 0.1 increments!

MercySeat 09.14.16	Seconded
onionbubs 09.14.16	[3]
Sinternet 09.14.16	ehh it would be nice but it's a cool incentive for people to work hard and get staff status
wwf 09.14.16	fuck that let's go down to .01
DungeonBoy 09.14.16	Thirded, It's normally in the 4.0-5.0 range where I really want to break it down.
Gwyn. 09.14.16	When they introduced it they said it was like a test thing that they'd let people use eventually but that never happened and not really sure why that'd change now
elliootsmeuth 09.14.16	I'm fine with my .5 increments at the moment. Jamming 2 right now, actually.
wwf 09.14.16	it also means the drop down for albums would be a total pain in the ass five times more options smh
Mort. 09.14.16	apparently ppl once could rate in said increments but it made troll rating a lot worse or something Joms explained it multiple times over in the forums
trve 09.14.16	the last change done to the site was like 25 years ago what do you expect
adr 09.14.16	they should remove the 0.1's that still exist on some albums, it's ugly af and no it's a bad idea
AsleepInTheBack 09.14.16	we need this yeah
Spec 09.14.16	the pros don't outweigh the cons my dude, just leave it alone
danielcardoso 09.14.16	i'm fine with the 0.5 intervals tbh.
ArsMoriendi 09.14.16	i'm fine with the 0.5 intervals tbh [2]
smaugman 09.14.16	you two are wrong equal sputnik rights
onionbubs 09.14.16	come to think of it yeah im perfectly fine with 0.5 intervals
Rik VII 09.14.16	0.1's way too precise. I'd be changing ratings everyday.
ArsMoriendi 09.14.16	Exactly^
danielcardoso 09.14.16	yup
FullOfSounds 09.14.16	"0.1's way too precise. I'd be changing ratings everyday." I never thought about it like that, I already have difficulty picking the ratings now.
minty901 09.14.16	it would actually be easier to pick ratings with 0.1 incs (I'll call them incs) than now for me cause i wont have to spend ages trying to decide where to put it when its inbetween a 3.5 and a 4, for example. Also it helps to differentiate which of two "excellent" albums is better than the other.
TVC15 09.14.16	0.1 ratings would definitely help me sort out my ratings much more thoroughly tbh I have a hard time with ratings because so many of them can't be precise in 0.5 increments in the first place
Snide 09.14.16	"It's normally in the 4.0-5.0 range where I really want to break it down." This, this so much.
CaliggyJack 09.14.16	Having 0.1 would make ratings so much easier for me. I hate picking between 0.5.
minty901 09.14.16	id like the option. staff have it and they seem to be happy with it. it certainly makes analysing a staff members ratings more interesting. How will people know that I prefer Static Prevails to Bleed American when I have them both at 4.5? Will they actually have to TALK to me? ...i dunno about that man. Give introverts like me some of those lovely 0.1 incs.
FullOfSounds 09.14.16	Maaan I don't know what I think about this
smaugman 09.14.16	oh no! no one would force me to change my ratings, but i pain myself by doing it anyway! noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
DoofusWainwright 09.14.16	Introduce 0.1 increments and I'd probably spend two hours every day shifting my ratings by tiny fractions - there is such a thing as too much choice
DoofusWainwright 09.14.16	...and yet I can't stop myself already getting excited at the prospect of rating my 5's between 4.8-5
Typhoon24 09.14.16	.25 increments would be perfect for me imagining jackasses arguing whether an album is a 4.8 or a 4.7 lol
theBoneyKing 09.14.16	Agreed with Doof here - plus people nitpick over other people's rating enough already. With 0.1 increments the fights between 3.6 and 3.7 would never end.
Valkoor952 09.14.16	"It's normally in the 4.0-5.0 range where I really want to break it down." Yeah this hard.
minty901 09.14.16	We all are here because we are weirdos who fucking love assigning digits to things. Let's not pretend we wont all have twice as much fun spending twice as much time with our ratings.
AlexKzillion 09.14.16	I would love 0.1 incs
FullOfSounds 09.14.16	casey white and blancos would get a light .1
tastepolice 09.14.16	people rating music smh you bunch of sorry autists
Valkoor952 09.14.16	I'd love 0.1 incs . [2]
JeetJeet 09.14.16	I'll give you an 0.1 inc ;]
Valkoor952 09.14.16	lol
ArsMoriendi 09.14.16	tastepolice? More like tastypolice am I right?
AlexKzillion 09.14.16	I think it should still stay 1-5 though with nothing under 1.
guitarded_chuck 09.14.16	also allow the default reviews be decided by voting
AsleepInTheBack 09.14.16	"It's normally in the 4.0-5.0 range where I really want to break it down." yeah id be down with just incremental ratings 4-5 only
Flugmorph 09.14.16	I'm fine with my .5 increments at the moment. [23]
Valkoor952 09.14.16	#letsmakeSputnikgreatagain
macman76 09.14.16	I want imaginary numbers "Hmmm, is new 'tones a 4+2i or 4+2.5i" On a more serious note, why do we only rate albums with one number, instead rating production, instrumentation quality, etc. it would be impossible to implement and no one would be thorough or qualified enough to rate every aspect of an album, but might be interesting.
theBoneyKing 09.14.16	"also allow the default reviews be decided by voting" This is a much more important issue.
onionbubs 09.14.16	"also allow the default ratings be decided by voting" [2]
FullOfSounds 09.14.16	I really do have to give Choirs another try tbh
TVC15 09.14.16	"casey white and blancos would get a light .1" hahahahaha "also allow the default reviews be decided by voting" YES this too
porcupinetheater 09.14.16	Let people put 0.1 increments on reviews for specificity but leave the overall ratings in 0.5
AngryJohnny 09.14.16	Would be cool, but if it never happens I won't mind too much
Futures 09.14.16	no
furpa 09.14.16	"also allow the default ratings be decided by voting" [3] Much better suggestion. 0.5 increments are fine.
trve 09.14.16	macman for sputnik staff site programmer 2017
MyNameIsPencil 09.14.16	Let us rate lists
danielcardoso 09.14.16	now that would be something cool
Drifter 09.14.16	We need 0.1 increments [whatever was next] Rate lists [3]
JeetJeet 09.14.16	Lettuce rate users
Kompys2000 09.14.16	I think it would be cool to rate albums out of 10 instead of 5, with .5 incrementals. Just because 40 possible ratings would be too many, 9 often seems like too few, and 19 seems like a happy medium. It's pretty much just a pipe dream, but as long as we're asking for stuff... Rate lists [4]
Pon 09.14.16	I think mx had some plans to let contribs and possibly users get 0.1 increments but then every user and his dog broke the site with 'inspect element' and started rating albums 2.375190826e^99 out of 5 and he thought you lot couldn't be trusted
smaugman 09.14.16	are the mods on sput like pokemon go mods? like do they ever discuss "issues" like this?
trve 09.14.16	0.1 excrements
Relinquished 09.14.16	never heard of that jac lmao
AsleepInTheBack 09.14.16	with great power comes great responsibility
Jots 09.14.16	we've been discussing this in Olympus recently and it might make the servers run smoother if we integrate a "yay/nay" system for users similar to a YouTube red/green approval bar. might happen as soon as this Feb (next promotion cycle)
CaimanJesus 09.14.16	It's fine as it is
macman76 09.14.16	We don't have enough butthurt on this site, we need more ghost negging
ScuroFantasma 09.14.16	0.1 ratings would be cool, but if that's too much then maybe 0.25 ratings instead?
minty901 09.15.16	0.25 wouldn't work so well as it means an extra digit would have to be added to the scores. Could be problematic for the site's formatting.
demigod! 09.15.16	"I think mx had some plans to let contribs and possibly users get 0.1 increments but then every user and his dog broke the site with 'inspect element' and started rating albums 2.375190826e^99 out of 5 and he thought you lot couldn't be trusted" i remember this. was so surreal seeing mirage hold a 4777777788.8888/5889999 rating
RadicalEd 09.15.16	Yeah, let's not do that. It will just lead to (even more) anal retentive arguing about tiny rating increments.
iloveyouall 09.15.16	can the moderators pls set the average of sachiko m - bar sachiko to 5.0/5.0? thanks
RadicalEd 09.15.16	I'd rather see it as a 4.93723192301938277731856 tbh.
Rik VII 09.15.16	"I think it would be cool to rate albums out of 10 instead of 5, with .5 incrementals. Just because 40 possible ratings would be too many, 9 often seems like too few, and 19 seems like a happy medium." that's actually what I do. all my ratings on here are rounded off. the .5/10 ratings work perfectly for me.
miketunneyiscool123 09.15.16	Please let users rate in 0.1 increments! [every user here]
Faenrir 09.15.16	More isn't always better. I believe having 9 different ratings is enough. You're not rating stuff by comparing it, you're rating it by how much you like it. You can like very different albums at the same level even though they can't compare. And if you like one less or more, then rate it less or more ;)
miketunneyiscool123 09.15.16	@Faenrir I don't mind the idea of 0.1 increments because there are albums that I REALLY want to rate with that system like the albums that are above a 4 but below a 4.5 for example.
minty901 09.15.16	People who don't want it can still rate to their rounded values but it would make the site infinitely more enjoyable and usable for someone like me who struggles to find the right ratings for things with the current system. The fact that the staff can do it goes to show that they do think it's a worthwhile system. Come on guys!
torts 09.15.16	agreed indefinitely
AsleepInTheBack 09.15.16	I dont think its gonna happen, but I'd absolutely love it if it did
teamster 09.16.16	At least we get .5 here. My other site for all things metal doesn't have .5 :(
miketunneyiscool123 09.16.16	I feel 0.1 increments could also lead to drastic average rating shifts (in a good way). Some of these averages here are atrocious.
zaruyache 09.16.16	"And if you like one less or more, then rate it less or more ;)" that's what incremental ratings would let us do tho?
miketunneyiscool123 09.16.16	Exactly.
bloc 09.16.16	This would be a great feature. It would make Sputnik even more unique than it already is.
iloveyouall 09.16.16	lol
