Actually, if you write 1 review, have 1 person favor you, and get 1 Very Helpful on your only review, with no Helpfuls, you should get 1 star for that. But, to move up to 2 stars, you would have to write at least 26 reviews and get over 20 people to favor you, while getting nothing but Very Helpfuls. It mainly seems to reward you for number of reviews and number of people who favor you. You're almost sure to have someone unknowingly give you a Helpful rating, and ruin your average there, so write lots of reviews. Since the site depends on having as many reviews as possible, this does work to further that outcome. <BR/><BR/> I'll change my post to fix the math. :)Lianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13235950571276425579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10081744.post-1152314162471928462006-07-07T18:16:00.000-05:002006-07-07T18:16:00.000-05:00Liana -- I believe I spot an error in your calcula...Liana -- I believe I spot an error in your calculation. You should have multiplied the average of the ratings by .25 (25%)rather than .025 (2.5%). <BR/><BR/>This person's score would then be .91/3 or .3, giving her a star.<BR/><BR/>Carolyn (Irina on PR)Carolyn in ARhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14906248321917512720noreply@blogger.com
