Hmm, that's a good point.  I might be a little guilty myself of tacking on an extra 5% when I rate a game that I know is good and it has a rating of like 50% or less.

Maybe it might be a good idea to make someone have atleast 100 posts in the forums before they could rate a game, that way we kinda know who they are and know they are reliable enough to give a fair score.  The same could apply to the price guide.  What do you think of that?  Smiley

Basing it on a members posts is not fair either.

Then you would get people who would put up 100 +1 posts or lose the insite of people who may prefer to lurk around.

In the end you really have to just hope people are honest.
Which can really be a shame sometimes.

Plus I don't think it says who gave the rating.

Yes, but we (The Administrators of the site) know who are purposefully tanking the rating system.  evilhappy
In an ideal system, there would be so many votes that these bad ratings would be offset by all the people who overrate the games, but not many people rate the games.

Moral of the story: RATE THE GAMES!!!

Yes, I am not going to but I could tell you who gave all good Nintendo games a rating of 5.

I thought about retaliating against his beloved PAL sega games, but that just wouldn't be nice.

This list seems extremely skewed though...

Nah, I have faith that you know that Chrono Trigger does not deserve a rating of 5.
