We have noticed that some members create multiple fake profiles to rate themselves and cheat to get a higher rating.
We have changed out rating tracking system. Now deleting fake profile will also delete fake rates placed from these profiles.
Members caught cheating on ratings will have their rating set to zero. Please play fair.
Due to all this cheating members ratings has been reset on March 08.
TiredToBeSingle.com also has adopted better rating normalization method for calculation of the total rating for each photo. The method is based on the true
Bayesian estimate formula, commonly used in statistics. The formula is:
Total rating (TR) = (V/(V+M)) * R + (M/(V+M)) * C
where:
R = mathematical average for the photo;
V = number of received ratings for the photo;
M = minimum number of ratings required for calculation (1);
C = median of the rating scale (5.50)
This method allows members that receive higher number of individual numeric ratings to score a more representative total rating.
