Fergus, you said 'What you're wanting to do is minimize false negatives,
quality games that unfairly go unrecognized.' Sorry, this is not true. The
only thing i am trying to do is keep 10 years of members ratings. Every
game has a game page, every member can rate these pages. Sounds fair to me,
i dont see how that is unfair to any game. I have faith in the members
rating games, even non-members, for that matter.
But i see you are bent on changing things. Can i ask, what does it mean to put ratings in the 'item table'? Is this a page like this ..
