Is it possible to get a minimum vote requirement on ratings (tools, hardware, etc.)?
The current system makes arranging them by rating pretty much useless. You get a bunch of 9.5 rated (by one user) appearing at the top, while those with actual 8.5 or so ratings (by 50 or so users) gets pushed down.
I know that it's not an exact science, but maybe there can be a minimum of 10-20 votes before it gets elevated from N/A status. or average the score based on 10 or 20.
For example, MPCHC (with 1 vote of 10) ranks higher than VLC (with 56 votes averaging 9.0) If even 3 of those 56 are 10s, it should rank higher.

Yep, it would be possible. I will test with some rating-order-algoritms and see how it works.
I have added a weighted average so the order by Rating should looke better now, see for example http://www.videohelp.com/tools?listu...Rating&s=11#11
Perfect!
Thanks
I hate statistical algorithm scripting. Much prefer manual rankings over user-collaborative ones. Online ranks are all offset by idiots anyway. "My computer broke when the power surged, this software sucks!"

True. I've seen the "This product took 3 weeks to arrive. I'm giving it only 1 star, even though it works perfectly." ratings, but Baldrick's new system beats having a bunch of 1-hits topping the charts.
I've seen people saying 'i'm taking one star off cause i havent used it to its full extent.
