Would erasing 1/10 and 10/10 score unveils the true rating for anime?

This is purely my own opinion and, don't get me wrong, i also think this is pretty stupid thing to ask but, since there are so many "fanatic" fans out there, would erasing 2 of the most misused score would bring the more "clean" version of anime rating?

Not really. I think it wouldn't change anything.

If you're talking about fake votes, the anti-bots & vote brigading system should already take into account abnormal amounts of 1/10 and 10/10. Nothing is perfect, but I know it works because it saved Chihayafuru 3 from being downvoted by Vinland Saga fanboys.

If you're talking about real users giving out too many 1/10 and 10/10, the best solution would be allowing users to play with the data through custom queries. For example, "recalculate MAL scores after excluding votes given by users with a mean score below 3.00 or above 8.00".

The scores aren't "misused" as far as I'm concerned. You feel it's Ambrosia, you give it 10. You feel it's ass, you give it 1. Easy. 👍
So no, I don't think it would reveal any "true" rating, whatever that's even supposed to mean.

It would probably be more accurate, since lots of 10s are blindfolded praise and lots of 1s are blindfolded hate.

Some anime already have their 10s ignored for mean score calculation, such as Pingu and Ishuzoku Reviewers.

Here's the thing, there are people out there who actually enjoy anime no matter how bad or worse they are; likewise for shows that are good but for them it's super duper great. So a 10/10 all around can be possible, just rare to see among millions of users on MAL.

Same with the opposite, some users hated the show so much that they put 1/10 for all these anime.

Anything is possible on planet Earth xD The older you get, the more kind of people you encounter in real life and online.

I think number ratings altogether are a flawed system to be honest

But you'd just end up with all the 1 scores and all the 10 scores becoming 2 and 9.

Essentially it become an out of 8 system, with 4.5 being the replacement of 5.

So no it wouldn't really change the system all that much, it just be an out of 8 score. So any of my 10/10 would become 8/8.

OP is assumingly talking about erasing 10s and 1s from score calculation, not from score selection, because that would be nonsensical.

That's crazy. I assume people were spamming 10's for the memes?

What's the story behind those? Did the admins swoop in and "fix" the numbers, because they "looked weird"? Or is there some formula that kicks in when the score distribution gets skewed?

no, but removing the weighting system sure would. it just inflates a lot of the scores.
