A while back in another thread I posted a "Top 30 Reviewed"
table with duplicates and rats removed. This was just a demonstration that such tables are not hard to produce, without any changes to the review system. As a league table, it had at least two defects.
- The data were slightly out of date even then, and are more so now.
- Rats and duplicates were removed, but N/A reviews were not. Thanks to Alyssa for making me aware of this.
As I mentioned later on the same thread, I never use such tables myself, but, without too much effort, I could produce a better table, if anyone actually wants one. So I have a few questions.
1.
Do you care? If not then I won't bother.
Reviews are useful so we should all care.
2.
Should duplicates, i.e. multiple reviews of the same escort by the same reviewer, be ignored? Multiple reviews should be counted but maybe with a reduced scoring system for 2nd, 3rd etc review of same lady.
3.
Should rats be counted?
Rats should have a negative score if not challenged within a specific period of time.
4.
Should N/A's be counted?
They should be included as part of an overall scoring system. I have posted a couple of n/a reviews for information purposes - reliability of the escort in completing agreed appointments.
5.
Should negative reviews be counted?
Negative reviews should be treated in a similar fashion to rats if not challenged by the escort within a specified time.
6.
Should neutral reviews be counted?
Yes, as part of an agreed scoring system
7.
Should reviews by people with few reviews be counted? If not then how many reviews are needed before the reviews are counted?
Everyone has to have a first review. Working out a way to validate all reviews is needed.
8.
Does anyone who isn't on it really care about the "Top 30 Reviewers" table?
A lot of touring escorts are not bothered about reviews but the resident escorts might like to establish a reputation with a high review rating.
9.
Is 30 a good number for these tables?
To keep a table all excort reviews would have to be counted but maybe only the top 30 published.
