advice column ask question view feedback favorite columnist advicenators

Q: I was wondering about the rating system. How are people rated? I know it's not related to the feedback from people we give advice to. It was in this way I originally thought, until I noticed that the means didn't add up to the same number. Are there a select few people who have the privilege of deciding whether someone earns a 4.5 or a 1.01. I hope I'm not coming off as rude, I was just wondering. thanks.

Actually, it's nothing but an average of your ratings. Only ratings given over the last 30 days are considered in your average, so it's not like every rating plays into it, but all ratings count equally. If you notice a discrepincy let me know.

Since after thirty days the older ratings are disregarded, my previous calculations, or any calculations for that matter, are inaccurate. Thank you for answering my question.

This advice column is for suggestions, comments, or error reporting about advicenators. If you'd like to suggest a new category, ask me a question. If you'd like to whine, bitch, or complain about advicenators, you may whine, bitch, or complain to me.

Three rules though:
1) Do not ask me for life advice. We have several thousand other members that do that.

2) Do not ask for help, or ask how to do something, or ask about
how something on the site works, unless you've read every word of our help pages and you're sure it's not addressed there.

3) Do not ask me to ban someone or investigate abuse. We have an entire abuse system set up for that.

If you disobey one of these rules, I'll delete your question.

Some guidelines about suggestions:
If you offer a suggestion that I find interesting, I might just ignore your question so it stays in my inbox as a reminder of something to do. Don't be upset that I don't answer you, and don't delete your questions (because then I'll forget!)

If you have three suggestions, please ask three separate questions, that way I can address each one individually. It's a real pain when people ask one question with like twenty different topics in it; I can't keep them straight.
