|
|
I don't want to sound arrogant or anything but I think I'm having an issues with my expert vidder status. It seems to me like it has been 2.84 for ages. Then I loaded both In Pieces and The Brave One, both of which got gold VP's and a gold CP with In Pieces but the number has gone down to 2.83 :S is there something I'm missing or is this a technical glitch? _________________

That number is your overall score for your last 10 vids so it may be that one of your older ones received a lower vote in this time frame, too, so that effected the over-all average. But what I'm not clear on is what you mean about your expert vidder status... Expert is as high as the ranks go, equal to a Council Member in terms of "weight," so there literally isn't any place higher to go.
I'll take a look at the voting and see if anything strange or out-of-place pops out at me, just in case!
ETA: Okay, I've been looking at your votes and don't see what caused the .01 change. I'll ask Warren about it (as that he's Master of All Things Mathematical and Webmastery )! ♥! |

Oh, no no, i know that expert is the highest i can go by expert vidder status i meant the number (2.83) i just wasnt sure what the numbers meant; i couldnt understand why it would go down if i got only golds on my last two vids, even if they were from advanced, expert & CM members. but i get the whole 10 vids thing now thanks ais _________________

That number is all the votes combined, from everybody on your last 10 vids... so if you got a few silver votes recently, that would explain the change. _________________

*ahem*
Well, I think I know what's caused it though it's slightly complicated.
First: each vid's score is based on the [weighted] average from all the votes, and each vidder's score is an average of all the vids' scores.
Second: the scores are counted only based on the last 10 vids. This is so people with a bad track record in the past can still recover with a few vids.
Now, this doesn't tend to hurt people's scores as often in the long run - since people tend to get better, and their vids are voted higher, so their score goes up. HOWEVER, it won't if your older vids were rated higher, either by merit or because they were made back when the voting wasn't as precise, so they got straight-up 3.0s instead of specific fractions. Either way, as those vids stop being counted for your score, it will go down. This doesn't mean you're getting worse, or whatever. It just means that your score is more current and accurate than it was before. Just because someone has a 3.0 or whatever doesn't mean they're better, especially if their vids were made way back when the voting system wasn't in 5.0 and they didn't have the same accurate public votes.
I think that explains how things turned out . Either these latest vids have been rated slightly lower, or your old vids were boosting the rating. But no worries - it makes zero difference in the long run (and .04 is not a lot lol )
Take care! |
