Change is needed for Reviews and Overall Rating!

 TimiZero:

 But of course seeing everything rated 10/10 is kind of defeating the purpose.

Yes, that's my problem, but like I said, even I don't like it, I can't provide a perfect alternative that will be good for everyone. 

 TimiZero:

I guess the confusion arose because many would expect the average from the 4 categories is the OVERALL rating. Interestingly, there are also many people that don't see it that way. They treat the 4 categories independently from the "overall", Therefore you see the wrong number than the suggested value (actual average). 

You have a point, but this is kinda the reason I want 1 system, and it would use the average score based on the reviews and if someone doesn't write a review, well nothing would change. But then again, maybe it's just my OCD, I hate seeing different scores from the same person. 😅

 TimiZero:

I am skeptical on the ability of MDL to implement it, given that many other more obvious basic functionality are not available until now. I.e. the sorting functionality, a more useful filter function, etc. 

Also, true! This isn't the biggest problem here. It's just "my" problem.😅

we need an episodic rating for that,

that feature is already available

go on any drama page and click the "episode guide"

The real problem is when they don't change the rating after they finished or dropped it.

There are already many threads discussing the issue of calling MDL ratings and reviews incorrect. However, I feel that this discussion has no definitive conclusion because people will ultimately do what they want to do. Even if notifications are sent for this purpose, they would remain optional, not mandatory. If you make it mandatory, a section of people who value their freedom and dislike rules and regulations might feel offended. You cannot manipulate someone's mind or computer for "update your rating and review cause you have done some changes like ongoing/dropped/completed etc"

just my opinion i'm kind of person who didn't affect by rating or review. -----I’m not impatient to the extent that, if I like something, I would rally for it, ask people to give it high ratings, fight with haters, or claim that MDL’s ratings are wrong just because my favorite drama has a low score, etc.

Didn't know about this yet, LOL!😅 Thanks.  Tbf I won't use it because I only rate things when I finished the whole thing or dropped it.

Exactly, and that's why I think ratings should be only available after they finished the whole show or dropped it. It's the same thing when you can't choose "Completed" on the status if the show is still ongoing.

Oh my, this is a great news indeed! My OCD can sleep well. 😅
