StormSky92 said: Also, there sure are a lot of a-holes in this thread. It's too bad that the majority of anime fans on the internet are like that. No wonder anime fanbase gets such a bad rep. Well that is quite funny. Kinda unrelated and just plain wrong, you know. This insane inability to use a scale of 1-10 in a way that doesn't raise any problems.. Seems to be a big issue within the "anime fanbase". Learn to adapt. If you know you can't distinguish into decimals, be even pickier with your rating instead of giving out 8 like candy on Halloween which is quite the opposite of being "picky". |

| No. Because it's a damn huge work to change the whole rating system this site has been based on for years, with the associated information (average scores, affinity stats), just because somebody has a specific problem with some shows and can't decide how to rate them according to the working system. This site has a 1-10 system in the same way other sites have 1-100 and others 1-5 stars. I don't know why MAL should adopt a different one all of a sudden, that is not an improvement. It is part of what defines the site and what it has been built on. |

How to Round Numbers Decide which is the last digit to keep Leave it the same if the next digit is less than 5 (this is called rounding down) But increase it by 1 if the next digit is 5 or more (this is called rounding up) Example: Round 74 to the nearest 10 We want to keep the "7" as it is in the 10s position The next digit is "4" which is less than 5, so no change is needed to "7" Answer: 70 (74 gets "rounded down") |

FullZealDoasage said: For Example: If my overall score on No Game No Life was 7.6/10, then which score do I choose? the 7 or the 8? Mathematically speaking, [7.5..8.0) is rounded up to 8, and [7.0..7.5) is rounded down to 7. Did you skip the classes? But you can use tags to note your more precise scores (that's what some people do) |

You'll have it the most accurate if your average score is 3-4, take my word for it. |
| You're free to use the tag section for further details like I do. Using % basically amounts to the same as using decimals. Alternatively you can go to hummingbird and use the smiley rating system to learn to appreciate the different nuances of the 1-10 scale. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Nah, I totally agree with FullZeal. You can downplay it all you want, bottom line is rating system on MAL is bad. |

FullZealDoasage said: You know when you rate an Anime X/10? Well I'm someone who prefers to add decimal points on Anime to have a more precise score... For Example: If my overall score on No Game No Life was 7.6/10, then which score do I choose? the 7 or the 8? And it always troubles me every time, espacially when I try to weigh out the pro's and con's of a show. Thanks for Reading Round it to 8, it's for the best. |
bladeangel said: No it isn't. Why give an anime a solid 8.5 when it's really a 8.46?IntroverTurtle said: No it isn't. Yes it is. It would be a lot more appropriate to use at least a .5 interval in the ratings. Why round down to 8 when the anime deserves a solid 8.5. |

Broeksnoek said: Nah, I totally agree with FullZeal. You can downplay it all you want, bottom line is rating system on MAL is bad. Yeah, and then when they rate with 20 out of 20 then everyone will complain the rating scale doesn't make sense. Going with percentages (The only other rating system that makes sense) would be too anal retentive. I admit not being able to rate things 7.5 is annoying, but I can only think of one or two series I would have done that with. I don't think it's worth creating a feature over. |
| This suggestion comes up a lot.. |
 |
IntroverTurtle said: Broeksnoek said: No it isn't.Nah, I totally agree with FullZeal. You can downplay it all you want, bottom line is rating system on MAL is bad. Just state it otherwise on your tags or round it down/up. |

| I agree we need Decimal Score System or maybe we can get 100 Score System.:) |
[size=0] |
| I'm not very picky in these sort of things but I understand why some people would want at least 1 decimal place in their scoring. There will be a bunch of series rated as 7/10 (for example) but obviously some series have slightly higher scoring than others but the current scoring won't reflect it and having no decimal place does not do the series/manga justice for some fans. |
 |
| You only use the scores from 5 - 10. Give those 3 series a 10 and lower every other anime's rating by 1. Why ask for a bigger limit when you don't even use the full scale? |
|
| That's what favourites are for |
|
| Thread Moved. |
| can't believe op is seriously asking for that. yazio said: You only use the scores from 5 - 10. Give those 3 series a 10 and lower every other anime's rating by 1. Why ask for a bigger limit when you don't even use the full scale? This. 10 is supposed to mean "masterpiece". If there are other shows/manga that you saw/read which are quite above in quality, it means that those anime/manga you previously gave 10 to weren't masterpiece after all, and were just "great". So 9 instead of 10. |
 |
| You rate a lot of things 10. Thats pretty Generous I think that 10 is the mindblow rating. In your list I counted 10 different anime with the rating of 10. In mine I have 2 with a rating of 10, and you haven't watched an incredible amount more anime than me. I think that if you reserve your 10 rating for the anime that really blow you out of the water, then you won't feel the need for an 11 score. But hey, Who listens to me? |
 |
| We don't need another score that means good, we need another that means bad. |
 |
| So then if you find something even better, you'll want to rate them 12? :) It happened to me few times too you know. You just realized that you didn't know enough shows before and just need to go thorough your list to lower some of the scores. Also, if you have few series with 10/10 score, you can put some of them to favorites, to show that they are more dear to you, than other ones. |

So 9 instead of 10. i want to put 10 on the others because they are masterpieces, the animes i want to score 11 made me run around about 2 hours because their where that good. and i dont use the 1-4 becuase i dont finish the bad animes i have watched. no anime i've completed is bad Just stop looking at 4 as bad then. And if you think there's a definite tier above what you consider a masterpiece, make 9 your masterpiece level. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| Here's how you can lower all your scores at once, quoting from another thread: Luna_ said: Try this: Export your list, open it in a text editor. Replace all <my_score>SCORE</my_score> with <my_score>0</my_score> SCORE = 1, 2, ... , 10 If your editor supports regular expressions (e.g. Notepad++) it's quicker than to do this for every score individually, just replace <my_score>[0-9]+</my_score> with <my_score>0</my_score> Then import the edited list. I recommend this only for the anime list, not for the manga list, since when you import manga entries, the system somehow resets all numbers for volumes to 0 (at least it did it some time ago). Here are the links: http://myanimelist.net/panel.php?go=export http://myanimelist.net/import.php |

Haoru said: if they really were masterpiece, you wouldn't find that easily something else good enough to make you want to rate it higher than those supposed masterpiece. Lower those 10 to 9, end of story.i want to put 10 on the others because they are masterpieces, the animes i want to score 11 made me run around about 2 hours because their where that good. and i dont use the 1-4 becuase i dont finish the bad animes i have watched. no anime i've completed is bad |

| I wonder what will happen when 11 is not enough |
|
| We go to 12 |
  Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet |
| An 11 is not needed. This is MAL, not Spinal Tap. |

| we need ratings up to 9001 |

OnlyTemporary said: we need ratings up to 9001 I wish we had... But AniDB has up to 901 possible scores, BTW (decimals) |
|
Millo90 said: I am pretty sure that some people already must have suggested this. What makes your suggestion any different? And why do you think you have to make a new thread instead of posting in already existing one? You can include more precise scores into your tags btw, on AniDB you can rate with up to 0.01 precision, which makes 901 possible scores! |
|
| I like the rating system distorted (I'm joking). 0-10 would be more accurate. 0 would mean something like distasteful. All my dropped anime would have this score. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| I read somewhere that the reason there is not a 0 rating option is because it would screw the stats and average calculation. Or something like that. But it says something that most if not all the sites that use a 5-point or 10-point scale don't include the 0 rating. It's not just MAL. Changing the system at this point would be a huge mess. Every piece of information regarding the users' ratings and the averages, the top lists and the compatibility are based on the current scores and introducing new variables would compromise the information this site has compilated through the years. It would be a fine idea to do if someone ever wants to make another website, though. |
| It seems I have come a bit too late to notice, but thanks for the insight Jal90. |
