Modification to Player Ranking System

[Katryana]

I suggest dropping the highest and lowest rankings to even out vengeance scoring. This could be done on a incremental basis dependent upon the number of rankings received. For example...

If a player receives 25 or less rankings, you drop the lowest and highest.
If a player receives 25-50 rankings, you drop the 2 lowest and 2 highest, etc.

This will protect some of the newcomers who get poor rankings because of their inexperience (we do get better with time, I hope), and will protect seasoned members from getting tanked by those who just like being ... dare I say it... stupid. (There goes another venge-tanking score for me)...

I know when we do proposals to win jobs, a lot of committees use this as part of their ranking system to avoid any appearance of blackballing or preferential treatment.

It's possible that this has been suggested before, but I didn't find it in my searching. Of course, I'm not sharpest tool in the shed either, so I could have just not been searching in the right place.

I say we drop them all and either issue positive or negative ratings.

You do know that what you are talking about is called RATINGS right? Rank(ing) is what shows you are a Cadet.


About your suggestion I really don't see the use tbh. A rookie that plays poorly (because of being a rooke) still deserves that poor rating and they will quite quickly even out later when(/if) he gets better and thus gets the good ratings he then deserves and a seasoned player would need to get way more then a few unwarranted poor ratings to have it effect his average rating.

Sorry I agree with the OP in a way. The ranks, such as cadet are there for a reason. The ratings system is totally different. Some of the worst Abusers are the lowest ranked people or very few games as they do not have much to lose. If you play vs a cook you should expect cook moves.
