chiranjeeb Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Just out of curiosity : what is the average rating of all photographsin photo.net? Surely it's not 3.5, some rating inflation must occur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mottershead Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 During the last 30 days, it was 5.18 for Aesthetics and 5.10 for Originality. On a 1-7 scale one might want 4 to be the average, assuming everybody rated all photos. However, for various reasons people tend not to rate photos that they would be obliged to rate low and that biases the average on the high side. Another bias is that very high ratings are not considered as abusive as very low ratings. People tend to complain about low ratings and somebody who rates uniformly low will probably be dealt with by the moderators, whereas the same is not as true of somebody who rates uniformly high. The average has declined a little in the past few months, after a long period of steady inflation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilkka_nissila Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Shouldn't the ratings be normalised since now people would think their average photo is actually good, or better than average? Brian, have you ever calculated the correlation between the ratings that a person gives, and the ones he or she receives? From the experience I have of photo.net ratings morale, I would think that there is a nontrivial correlation between these two, which basically invalidates the value of the ratings in my opinion. Is there any way to remove all my ratings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerald_widen Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Ilkka, I don't know of any way to remove your photos although there may be one. You could just delete your photos (and all of the info with it) one at a time and replace them. You wouldn't have to do it all at one sitting. Since there is no general gallery now and if you didn't request a critique not many people would see them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilkka_nissila Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 I can remove the photos in my gallery, I'd just like to remove my ratings given to the pictures in other people's galleries. It used to be possible, why not now? I would then re-upload my gallery once it becomes possible to avoid pictures being rated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
