If not, then how are review weightings going to work? Do guys like Papi and sinclair have no more influence over a club rating than a troll with a handful of reviews?
I ask because my own reviews of a few thinly reviewed clubs don't seem to be moving the needle much on the ratings anymore. As much as I can understand a desire to add an egalitarian flavor to the site, the reality is that the intel that guys like those I mentioned above bring to a club review has a lot more comparative value, which IMHO should be reflected in the ratings. The weighted nature of the system also diminished the ability of trolls to game the ratings - or at least made them work a fuck ton harder.
I'll also just add that the ability to influence ratings is a nice added bonus to motivate guys with a lot of VIP time in the bank to keep writing reviews. My VIP already runs to 2024 and I'm sure that there are guys here with as much as a decade in the bank.
Anyway, just my two cents fwiw.
I will be bringing a contribution score back. Reviews will be rated by the contribution score.
