I'm all for putting a lower limit on copyright, such that it expires regardless of upkeep. I'm a big fan of video game mods. Some companies encourage it, others send cease and desist letters. We can talk hypotheticals, and we can talk how we wish it worked, but we don't live in the...

Primarily AI written content is already against the rules here. Report it so it gets taken down.

I get where you're coming from, but I disagree on a few fundamentals. First, the rating system isn't meant to be for authors. Yes, authors want readers, but authors have no rights to getting readers. It's a hoop to jump through, but there will always be a hoop to jump through regardless of the...

Isn't that just RR advertising? I think we had a thread laughing at some of them recently... There is a valid point in here about 1-star ratings having undue influence when someone is vindictive or just outright dislikes the story. I can see that. I also agree that +1/-1 system is probably...

Because there is no price penalty to a review though, this would also open SH ratings up to easier manipulation by bad actors. With the ability to simply paraphrase a requested bad review from GPT with a link, people can write *informed* bad reviews without any anonymous positive ratings to...

Oh, forgot to say that the non-truescore rating should also still be visible (and it's used on the backend anyway, so it has to stick around.

The approximate order of operations for *Patent Pending* (JK) "TruescoreSR* (Truescore Story Rating) is as follows for any new score being put up: Adjust Author score based on their nominal score range - Examples: If they have 7 reviews all in the range of 1-3, adjust scores to be 1-5. If all...

Something worth considering about a like and dislike system is that it takes longer to converge on a meaningful value, so stories with fewer ratings just have meaningless ratings for longer. This happens with steam games too. It takes longer to gain traction. That means more effort on...

But imagine the flame war that would happen if these people's favorite stories were suddenly lower rated. Rabid fire.

I'd actively be interesting in seeing how those sorts of stories would be rated. In a weighted system, obsessive fans who haven't read much else wouldn't have much weight on rating, so they might be lower...

Careful, this is trending towards royalroad's system of splitting things up, and it's *triggering* to some people.

Yes, I advocate for this. That's part of the system I discussed in depth with a friend at one point, and hashed out. I think there are a lot of variables that should be weighted and put weights on their reviews.

This is why I advocate for complicating the system :blobspearpeek:

While I can agree that this is generally true, the effort to spin up 1 vs 20 accounts is a matter of a few minutes on google + SH. Sure, the effort might be higher, but malicious intent happens regardless. Reviews don't even have to be left, they can simply be ratings that are added, to...

I like a 5-star system with a weighting algorithm based on what reviews people have given in the past. If you haven't given many reviews, then they should be downweighted. Likewise, if you've only given all 5 or 1 star, downweighted. Certain genres are also weighted higher than others, so...

Death march to the parallel world rhapsody

I should recommend, in addition to previous things, I'd focus on one while fleshing out an outline for others.

Yeah, my plan is to only commit to my next story while I'm doing rewrite stuff after the first one ends.

I've tried and failed to do so, but I think it depends on the author. I like to get technical and have deep magic systems, which makes it hard to do.

You are a kinder person than I, then. I would like their story to remain up as well, for what it's worth, but I'm done giving them benefits of the doubt when they purposefully portray me as a villain over and over. Tony will likely do nothing, for what it's worth for anyone freaking out about...
