Listal logo

I don't understand something

There is a lot of people on listal that rate every item with a 10/10. I mean, if a guy has for example a 1000 movies, every each one of that movies has a 10/10 rating. This is just a BIG LIE! Because, after this, overall listal rating (of some single movie item for example) is higher than it should be.

Is this ok?

I'm sure it offs the average in a very slight way if its one individual but how many people are you talking about? Is it like an organised crime syndicate? Links?

While we're on ratings, I was going through my Want-to-watches the other day and decided to sort byy Listal Global rating to decide what film to go for next. Surprisingly, most of the films that came up were 10/10 and they hadn't even been released yet!

Tom, is there a way to disable the global rating for a movie until its release date? Its weird how all the Twilight sequels have great ratings even though no one has seen them!

I don't want to point with my finger on specific users. But I've seen at least 10-20 people like this in a last week. I just wanted to tell about certain thing that is happening here. Maybe someone from "them" will answer to us why he is doing such a thing.

This is just unbelievable that there are people that absolutely loved every single watched movie. And at the same time it lowers credibility of a overall rating.

And yes, this is a second thing, rating movies that didn't even came out. Under the New Moon there is even a review with a 9/10 rating. This is just stupid.

and one more thing:
"I'm sure it offs the average in a very slight way"

yes, if we are talking about a movie with a hundred or more ratings.
no, if we are talking about a movie with five ratings...

I think the listal rating should have a more complex formula than just averaging everyone's overall ratings for a film. It should take in to account the person's other ratings for films, if someone has only rated one out of a thousand films 10/10 then it should make a more significant contribution to the listal rating than some joker who is rating everything 10/10 for the sake of it.

I believe that's what IMDb does with their overall rating.
