I was just thinking about ways to make it easier for people to find popular manga. The lists of most Popular/Favorited manga are full of uploads from 3-6 years ago, some with the DMCA notice stamp on them etc.
I just thought we'd want an active weekly list/archive that would update itself based on what is current as opposed to what people Favorited 3-6 years ago.
I understand what you mean though and it makes perfect sense. Perhaps somebody really doesn't like an artist, translator, a particular genre or tag, and habitually 1 stars them. I can't argue that that wouldn't happen. I know there is a plethora of flaws with a star rating system, which is why we would use it in conjunction with the count system to balance out the overall rating and weed out the habitual down-votes/low star ratings from the genuine votes based on historical ratings from the user.
But perhaps that fail-safe isn't enough, or relies to heavily on the past of a user. Perhaps we simply make it more subjective to the user and make a recommended page based off their subscriptions, and favorites.
All in all, I just thought a general rating system would allow users and visitors alike to find an enjoyable manga with ease and possibly even explore new manga that they're not accustomed to.
Thanks for your input Jacob, just wanted to put that out there.
Thanks for your insightful posts! I think there is a way to have a good balance between the two systems, we're working on something I think you'll really like.
