It's time for a new era: AMVcritic

Postby outlawed » Fri Apr 01, 2011 1:00 am

I think it's time to make a stand. This site is dying and the majority of the backbone that made this site's community a powerful presence of AMVs on the Internet are either retiring from AMVs or getting lives. Because I and others feel strongly about this I am announcing the web site our team will launch next month: AMVcritic.com

Basically the new site will focus on a rating system similar to metacritic and will feature integrated streaming that allows external embedding. The rating system will have two factions: one for editors and one for viewers. Editors will have a higher weighted value on their ratings. For each 90% rated AMV an editor has they will receive a boost to the weight of their ratings given to other AMVs. The difference between an editor account and viewer account giving ratings will ensure that the best AMVs get the recognition they deserve instead of the org's VCA popularity contest or the limited judging pool of the JCA that just votes for their friends. Accounts will have to upload a video to get editor status. To prevent bogus editor accounts our team has taken an idea from Electronic Arts in the videogame industry who is leveraging metacritic ratings in performance reviews. AMVcritic will have a yearly audit done on editor accounts. If the editor fails to have at least one video maintain a 70%+ rating then their AMV entries will be removed from the site and their account status will change to viewer.

AMVcritic will launch with forums, facebook & twitter integration, RSS integration on member homepages, and we already have plans for a yearly 128 contestant IC tournament (more details will be forthcoming on the tournament six months after launch).

For too long have North American editors had an inferior watering hole to our counterparts in Europe and Asia. We were doing it first on the net. It's time to take back the throne from AMVnews and establish a new order that can foster superior editors who will move the focus on the net away from technical light show videos using house music. The AMVcritic team is open to your feedback and we eagerly look forward to becoming the new standard for AMV web sites.

Your rating system sounds too complicated. Can we just have a 'like' button similar to facebooks? Also similar to FB, there's no need for a dislike button. The org is far to harsh, and not allowing dislikes would make sure that AMVcritic wouldn't suffer the same problem.
