undeserved 1st place

Post by someGen » Wed Oct 05, 2005 5:50 pm

im sure everyone sees whats going on in the top10
Some thing are not clear to me
why is it called top10%
why does it list 401 videos
why isnt it more organized like showing only 50 vids or having the whole list change every year so that ppl see something different and at the same time avoid all those 1 ops
that section seems abandoned
is it considered uninportant for the correct functioning of the site?

So I heard there was this place where a bunch of black people took huge knives and cut up other black people while all the white people ran away in fright.

I think they made a movie out of it. It was "touching".

Because there are currently about 4010 videos in the database that have enough opinions to make the list (at least 8). At least, that's what "Top 10%" would seem to indicate.

Because then it wouldn't be the all-time Top 10%.

Actually, I believe it's updated several times per day.

It includes ten percent of all videos with the right criteria to be liable (has enough opinions) and have top scores.
someGen wrote:why does it list 401 videos
I'd gather, therefore, that 10% of the videos that have enough opinions on the site consist of 401 videos.

It is organized by using 10% of the videos total. The list changes every hour, is that good enough for you? The reason a lot of things stay the same is because the opinion scores are staying the same. I have no idea what you mean by 1 ops, sorry.
someGen wrote:that section seems abandoned
what?
someGen wrote:is it considered uninportant for the correct functioning of the site?
Continuing from the last, no, it is not important for the correct functioning of the site, but it helps people know where their videos and others' videos rank against other videos.

Why change it to 50? that would just hide everyone's stats...

and the reason it doesn't seem to be updated so often is because that would mean that people would need to be giving enough opinion scores. One score won't change a video's placement if it's really high on the list, and considering that scores are rarely gained on videos most of the time the list seems to update slowly.

Where have you been? Mercury? 1 op scores have nothing to do with the presence of the top 10%.

well nevermind the way i see it there has to be so much code controlling that section that making a significant change would take much time out of someone and since is not inportant it doesnt matter much
i think ill create an account and give all 1s to whisper of teh beast to level thigns out
