(...) I think both would be useful... (...) And the few times I have used the system...that's the way I've used it.

(...) I just thought of a way to alleviate this problem. Don't publish the average rating unless there are at least N values (N = 10?). If there are fewer than that many values, just say "insufficient sample" or something like that. That way only (...) (24 years ago, 18-Apr-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Probably depends on how quickly they can rate articles. Through the website, it's a little cumbersome to give input on everything -- a lot of scrolling and mouse-clicking and waiting, etc. But using a custom newsreader client, it can be as (...)

However that's just me, and I think that new users would like to have N (...) (24 years ago, 18-Apr-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

It's not particularly bad code or anything like that, it's just that it was an evolve-mode prototype -- didn't know Curses at all before digging in (still don't know it well) and wasn't sure it would even end up working.
