The AMV Feedback Project: Reaching New Heights of Obsession!
My annual bout of vid-meta came on early this year. Also, it's another feedback project. And, further, it's on a topic that's not going to be of great interest to many of you.
There is a specific person to blame for this, and that person is not me. I'm a totally innocent party, here. (As you will see, I fought this whole thing like - well, kind ( Read more... )

Well, true, but my point is - even if people do it subtly ("I'd normally give an 8, but I'm giving a 7 'cause that's what you gave me") - that doesn't apply to people who don't make AMVs at all. Revenge opinions were mentioned several times on the forums, but, well, not a problem for me.
Yeah, I do get the definite impression that Phade's got a healthy appreciation for statistics... I mean, he did implement a Bayesian average system for calculating op scores for the Top 10% List and the Star Scale lists, to stop videos with only a few opinions from making it so far up the lists.
I know. And it fills my heart with joy. I could spend hours with the statistics on this site; you don't want to know how close I came to firing up SPSS-X over this. Except, you know, that'd be insanity.
I might do it anyway.
And if you donate, you can even get detailed Star Score stats for any video: # of scores given, average raw score, average Bayesian-adjusted score.
And you have just named the sole perk for donating for me. (I donate to support the site, but the extra search options - oh my god, they are addictive.)
