| 2 | 08.08.2024 | bornnaughty | | I do have a small suggestion. There's a 500 character threshold for both matches and events, right? Commenting on a single match versus an entire show is a big difference. For a 2 or 3 hour show 500 characters is easy, possibly too easy. For a single match I think it can be a bit much. Could you consider changing the amount of characters? I would suggest 250 for a match but 1000 for an event or something in that range? And sorry if the following question has already been answered but I see one comment on here that I suggested once in email as well. Other sites like imdb or metacritic use weighted averages so older profiles could get more weight than new ones do. And people who got warnings (like me recently) could get treated as new accounts if the violation was significant. Have you considered this? Maybe it's difficult to implement? |
| 3 | 08.04.2024 | nzx3zeppeli | | I have a concern. There is a commenter in here making AI comments just for the sake of giving a rating (you can tell by reading and seeing that said wrestler participated in said event when they never did, or they faced another wrestler in said event but they didn't). What are you gonna do to prevent this? |
| 4 | 20.07.2023 | Rami | | I never really saw the point of comments being proof that the opinion is genuine, anyone can write a 500 character comment regardless of whether they're giving their genuine thoughts or just crapping on it bcs it's not the promotion they want to thrive. The ratings system is and will always be flawed, you can try to make it better but realistically unless you pass a lie detector onto everyone before they comment, it won't work, and it's not having to put a comment that will change it. (This is just so I can reach 500 characters) |
| 5 | 27.06.2023 | Matt Macks | | @m1999: No, it is for all promotions. I do not want to write code that favors or disfavors individual promotions. // @Rudakov: Thanks, 404 error is fixed. The 500-character threshold should not have been applied to that match as well, this was a bug. I fixed that as well. Let me know if you find more. // @CoopyHoncho: Ratings system rules, chapter 2. 7. That is tribalistic behaviour. Also, you may not have seen examples of persons only rating one company high and another low, because those persons are removed from the community rather quickly. Stuff happens outside of your sphere of knowledge. // @texasyosh: Point well made, I completely agree. // @AngusOmega: Thanks for the info, I did not know about this. It is fixed now. |
| 6 | 17.06.2023 | arrancar | | Let me fantasy-book fixing Cagematch's ratings dilemma. If you want the extreme solution to ensure the site's reliability and dissuade brigading, make ratings weighted based on account age, standing, and track record of meaningful contribution to site discourse. By this, I mean make it so that long-term users who have had 0 (or at least very few and long since forgotten) rule violations and are consistent in providing detailed comments with their ratings, have their ratings impact the public ratings far more significantly than, say, the person who just jumps on once a month to give a 10 or a 0 to whatever big match that week that they happened to love or hate just because it came from x promotion instead of y promotion. If the ratings section of Cagematch is truly meant to provide a meaningful resource for distinguishing bad matches from good matches, good matches from great matches, and great matches from world-class matches, then I don't think it's unfair to give precedence to the site's long-term users who have a proven record of contributing to the discourse with well-reasoned comments and are consistent in their use of the site. If new users want the privilege to begin impacting the public ratings that all us long-standing and consistent Cagematch users established before they were even here, then they should have to earn that by proving their commitment to the site. That could be achieved through new users completing an extended waiting period (at least a few months) and proving their reliability as commenters and raters by making a certain number of comments (with ratings included, but ones which don't effect a match/show/whatever's overall public rating) of a certain length and which can be judged as being at least mildly well-reasoned. This probably sounds elitist, and difficult to implement because it dissuades new users registering, but really, do we even *want* people like that on the site to be able to impact individual match/show ratings so easily if they aren't even contributing to the site in any greater regard? The person who only ever rates, say, AEW PPV matches every few months, simply isn't equal to the person rating multiple matches from multiple promotions each week. And really, these last few years have clearly proven how insane communities get when they don't implement gate-keeping measures like what Cagematch has already put in place, and like what I've suggested here. I don't even actually care about users giving low ratings to a 9.50 match, or high ratings to a 6.50 match, as long as those ratings are actually accompanied by logically reasoned comments AND they're from people who actually participate in the site consistently as opposed to only ever circling around their own narrow area of focus. Holding users to a higher standard will raise the site's quality tremendously. Anyways, cheers to the Cagematch team for all their work thus far. Hopefully wild solutions like mine here ultimately don't need to be implemented. |
| 7 | 15.06.2023 | Burning V Sternness | | It's a shame that you have to go to all this trouble due to idiots ruining it for everyone else. I not only enjoy posting here on CageMatch but I also find it to be a very useful resource, so I wish you well and hope that this helps with the issues. 500 characters shouldn't be too much if you actually have something to say about the match |
| 8 | 15.06.2023 | Rudakov | | To be honest, 500 characters is just way too much. I just had to write a whole paragraph for Kikutaro vs. Konomama Ichikawa vs. Kuishinbo Kamen from Buyuden Rei event, which was not a fun time as the match itself. As a person, mostly watching Japanese scene, that sounds way too much to write about with every single bout I watch. Also there's a common Error 404 on most (or even every 2023) matches on matchguide. |
| 9 | 15.06.2023 | m1999 | | 500 is way too much imo, 250 or 200 characters is a better option, I hope this rule is for WWE and AEW only |
