Poster Ratings
posted by cedellSTAFFMOD on December 10, 2012 at 6:10 PM
I've noticed for a while that whenever I rate a poster, regardless of what I give, the rating seems to always be 5.31. I've tried this with Chrome, Safari, and now Firefox, and it's always the same. The popup showing the commit correctly displays what I selected, but upon refreshing it is not the case.
Is there something wrong with my account? I can't imagine it's a mac issue across the board... or is it a site bug?
Also, I don't rate movies or fanart, but I would think this issue might also occur with those ratings as well.

Okay, I just rated a fanart that didn't have any ratings applied yet, and despite selecting 10 the result was 5.31 as well.

Okay, I did another test...on this occasion with Safari (which I never use) and I noticed that giving a rating of 0.5 anded up with 5.17, and a rating of 10 gave 5.31. Very odd.
I almost feel like something has been in place to eliminate the rating system. Either that or someone changed code and messed up with the rating algorithm's math.
