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

Remove "on going" reviews category Isn't this the same? If it is, then it already exists.
Yeah, kinda. Honestly, this is a bigger problem than the ratings. I mean, I don't mind if people rate a show while it's still ongoing, BUT we need an episodic rating for that, unless they dropped the show.
The real problem is when they don't change the rating after they finished or dropped it. I mean, I watched a lot of drama with a pretty much perfect Pilot episode, but later, the whole thing was more like a 7/10. So, it's misleading.

that feature is already available
go on any drama page and click the "episode guide"

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.

I think this is an extreme case. I don't see a point of making dual ratings unless they accidentally forgotten to update after doing changes. And as we know the rating on reviews will not total up the show's rating, so even if they did not adjust the value (on review), it won't have any impact numerically (except for the reader perhaps). The rating on the watchlist is what counts.
it would use the average score based on the reviews and if someone doesn't write a review, well nothing would change
Ideally, it should work from both ways. If you start from review, the value you enter should go to the watchlist. And if you entered through normal route, i.e. from watchlist gateway, the value should be already on the review interface when you want to write a review later.
Using average score from sub-categories will be good, but we have people who are creative thinker. They won't go with the rule. Making it compulsory, will rise another concern of questioning relevancy of those categories. Maybe the best way is to give option to either enter "one total value" or enter through sub-categories with auto average.

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. 😅

I think in most cases it's about that, they just forget to change the rating, or think it's one system. Looks like we're gonna get a new system and everyone will get a noti about their reviews and ratings.
Ideally, it should work from both ways. If you start from review, the value you enter should go to the watchlist. And if you entered through normal route, i.e. from watchlist gateway, the value should be already on the review interface when you want to write a review later.
Yeah, this is what I want, honestly.
Maybe the best way is to give option to either enter "one total value" or enter through sub-categories with auto average.
I still think the best option is just using 1 system without the sub-categories. I mean, people like me, give the same rating, and people who give lower score for music or rewatch value for example, their overall is going to be the same as in the main page, probably.
Aoi
