I think that this intentional (since it more evenly distributes the ratings), so I think there is a reward other than helping the community, but it’s kind of small.","spam":"N"},{"author_name":"johnfn","time":"September 2, 2012 8:52 pm","epoch":1346637120,"text":"I’ve noticed a lot of people giving me ratings back just for rating their game, so that’s one possibility. It also seems like a lot of random people see me commenting on posts and review my games from there, because I’m almost positive I haven’t been in the top of the ratings page in a while.

So I’ve come to understand that the default rating on list of games to play is calculated so as to be unaffected by a coolness above 100. Is there any point to rating games after this point, I mean, other than to help the community along? I’ve got a measly 51 ratings<\/a>\u00a0so far and I would love more feedback. However for each rating I get my DR goes up, which puts me further away from being even shown the by ratings page. Am I missing something here?<\/p>","time":"September 2nd, 2012 8:44 pm","title":"Is it worth reviewing all the games?"}
