I've seen the topic brought up before on weighted reviews, most recently by BrotherDave on the vendetta purge thread. https://www.dgcoursereview.com/forums/showthread.php?t=131131
This is the current top 25 using weighted reviews.
the formula for this graphic is (.1 for less than 5 reviews, .2 for non TRs, .4 for bronze, .6 for silver, .8 for gold and 1 for diamond.)
the top ten would have 3 new comers and the top 25 would have 4.
I think it's been brought up before but what if TR's ratings were more heavily weighted than non-TR's? So if a TR comes through and gives course X a 3.5 it will take a lot more drive bys giving it a 1 to drag the average down. Higher the TR rating, higher the weighting? You've got to play a lot of courses to become a TR and usually just by osmosis that tends to make better reviewers. It's not perfect b/c you can become a TR easily enough if you whore around for up thumbs but it seems like it might work. I'd rather have the solution be more reviewer based rather than nebulous, moderator or algorithm based. Seems like that would encourage more reviews and better yet make reviewers better at reviewing.
