The script I used for hiding aggregate scores on anime pages stopped working and now I have to subject myself to the opinions of the unwashed masses. Please provide an option to hide all scores except my own. Maybe add an option to see friends scores only that would be sweet.

inb4 "just ignore them". No one's mind works like that. When we see a score that has an effect. When we see a score that we know many people hold as important, it has a greater effect. It colors our preconceptions, and even our opinions of stuff we've already seen. I don't want the opinions of people with poor taste and dumb biases to occupy any of my headspace. This isn't even going in to how the scores on MAL are manipulated.

If you ask me aggregate scores should disappear entirely but too many people would throw a tantrum. At least let those of us who value our sanity have the ability to not see them.

This is a pretty good idea, I can relate.
Once I see the score it gives me the idea of what is "good" or "bad". Even after I finish the anime, my final score always gets fucked because I try to find the meaning of what actually is "good/bad".

Still shows ranking/popularity/members but it's something so thanks, appreciated.

I seriously think lots of people would love the option to hide different elements of pages like my old script used to. If some rando can make a script that does it then you would think MAL could get it done. I would link the page for my old script but it appears to be completely deleted from greasyfork.

What's your greasy fork username?

If you login on your greasy fork account you should be able to see your script even if it was deleted. (Unless you chose to delete it permanently)

I can probably help you

why would MAL want to hide the stats and information it's taken it years to gather and populate, they wouldn't, even if just a few users want that function it goes against the point of MAL, best to ask a well-known userscript creator like hacker09 to add it to the script he's already made for hiding scores.

also, a lot of people's minds work like that, I could care less about scores because I could care less about random opinions.

I'd really like to see this as well. Users here obsess so much about numbers, it's annoying and it can hinder some people to give an anime a chance.

People troll and make comments like: "you are such an idiot for giving that anime a 10 out of 10." People don't want to be harassed over their scoring so would prefer it got hidden. I would say if you can toggle who could see the scores that would be good. The obvious options would be visible to - everyone, registered users only, friends and secret.

Scores, regardless of privacy settings, would count towards the MAL average so it still has an impact and thus importance even if people can't see it.

those aren't the scores OP is talking about, if you don't want to be judged on your personal scores make your list private, friends only or uncheck score https://myanimelist.net/editprofile.php?go=listpreferences or you can even use CSS to hide your scores, what your asking for MAL already has implemented.

The option to hide scores on the user's end would be nice. Hope this can be looked into.

I can give you my Username in PM but to be clear, it wasn't my script and the page for it says it's deleted: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/9412

Pretty sure it's just gone but let me know if you still think there's a way to retrieve it.

@ShaggyZE
The point of the site isn't some toxic popularity contest. It's for people to make a list and log their experiences. It's called "My Anime List", not "Everyone Else's Anime List Jammed Down My Throat", although if you spend a lot of time on the forums I'd understand why you might think it was.

Yeah I sometimes feel it would be better if I didnt see what the aggregate score is. It always winds up influencing my own score. Where most the time my score is only a decimal higher or lower.

You could use my script to hide that

I have mixed feelings. Sometimes I want to see the score sometimes I dont. Plus I have a busted laptop so im always phone posting and cant get any scripting addon into Firefox unless I went through a hassle to make an account profile to create adon groups or whatever they call it unless they finally fix their downgrading of the browser and let all addons run on it again.

Agreed!

That is why I changed to Kiwi Browser.

My script also lets you see the score in case you want to see it, but its hidden by default.

Great idea. There should be a way to close or hide the scores whenever you want.

@hacker09 ohhh ok just saw the link, I'll try and do it later. Thanks.
