This proposition proposes a new site tiering system that aims to solve some issues people have with the current tiering system.
Pros:
- Little if any site coding required, which means this is actually viable
- Automatic tiering means no arguments on which runs belong where; rate movies and users themselves may make the difference.
Cons:
- The Vault becomes a worse dumping ground than it is now, but that's just something that has to be dealt with
- Relies on people rating movies more.
Tiers
Vault
This should be approx. the bottom 10% of runs. Runs automatically go here with a rating of lower than 5.0.
Standard
This should be approx. 50% of all runs. Runs go here with a rating between 5.0 and 7.0.
The "standard" tier does not need to have a name or icon.
Moons
This should be approx. 30% of all runs. Runs go here with a rating of 7.0 or over.
This effectively becomes a newer version of Movies-Popular. It should represent good quality runs; something that we want to show people and can promote to people.
Stars
Cherry picked by a well trained monkey.
Stars are hand-picked to be the top 10% representation of our site's collection of runs.
Changes in judging
No longer judge movies by depending on tier-specific rulelists. Instead, have a global ruleset that allows any%/100% of all sane game genres (like the current Vault), and also allow exotic categories on a run-by-run basis if the run is judged as entertaining enough. Do not accept to a particular tier, but just accept to standard and let ratings do the work from there.
