Episode ratings

Post by Reddo »

A while back I posted about a new rating system that we had switched to over at AIOwiki, I also hinted that in the future there would be some interesting ways that we could use this data, well today I'm pleased to show one of those ways.

Have you ever wondered who is the best writer as voted by the fans? Well now we're one step closer to finding out, a new page at AIOwiki gives a list of all of the writers, the number of episodes that they've written along with the average user rating of those episodes. You can expect this to expand to other area of the wiki within the next few days.

However we have a problem, right now many of the episodes are missing ratings and have defaulted to a rating of 0% and this is messing with the average calculation. So to fix this I'm offering $2 for every rating that is cast until we get to 5000 ratings in our database (currently we are at ~600)

Why should I do this?
Help out AIOwiki in generating some interesting stats
get some $ (almost $1400 if you rate every episode)
We can generate a list of your top episodes for you

What do I need to do for this?
register/log-in to AIOwiki (it easy, quick, and free so why not do it anyways?)
an internet browser with JS enabled (it is by default on all new browsers)
go to an episode page, rate, click for next episode and repeat

To get your $ simply send me a pm with your wiki username and number of episodes that you rated at any time and I'll donate the $ to you.

When they update the board to phpBB3, they will be resetting everyone's money. (Didn't you read my interview with Tyler in the ToO Star (page 2)? ;-) ) So we are wondering if you will be giving us the money before or after the reset.
@Irwin: Good question. I would've forgot to ask about this.

I was gone from the ToO and AIOwiki for the last two months, so no I didn't read that.

Has it been confirmed that we are going to have a cash reset? from some of the posts later in the thread it sounded like we might be able to keep it through the transition.

I can give it to you whenever you request it, although if you wait till after the reset to ask for it there might be a delay before I can give it to you as I won't have anything to give until I get some myself.

It has been confirmed. There will be an economy reset.

Yes, I would prefer to have the money after the reset.

You might be able to ask Catspaw to give you the money to pay us after the reset... maybe?

An incentive to rate episodes? Neat! I would love to participate in this data collecting endeavor. Eventually.

Gotta say reddo... pure genius. Paying to rate eps? That's innovative.

I think so. May be it hasn't been confirmed, but I'm thinking that it will most likely happen regradless of people's thoughts unles everyone doesn't want it to happen.

Perhaps if people would provide an explanation about what's wrong with the current system we could have a more intelligent conversation. :x

Since Top discontinued interest payments, the amount of money on ToO has dropped even though we still have our jobs. I'd just love to see an eco where people have no money to begin with, don't have jobs, and don't get interest on their saved money. \:D/

Reddo's gonna have to spam the board if he wants enough money to pay everyone! :x

I guess I can't claim my money right now, but how about $0.01/rating? That would give me $2.15.
