Beatmapper rankings. Is it a good idea?

Yes, it should be a site feature.

Yes, but it should be a forum thread to prevent people developing voting strategies for the sake of ratings.

No, it's kinda pointless/too subjective/will cause people to develop voting strategies for the sake of ratings.

Maybe each beatmap after the first gets a (smallish) bonus multiplier to its rating...
I can imagine Saturos going beatmap crazy trying to improve his beatmapper ranking.
Yes, I can imagine that too. :lol:

I am thinking that you'd gain more for each ranked map than for each unranked; right?

EDIT: And I really like the idea! :)

I can't. ;x

I was thinking that only ranked beatmaps should be counted towards the beatmapper ranking.

I don't think Saturos would do anything like that. Just because he's the best player doesn't mean he would beatmap like the wind to rise to the top of the beatmapper rankings.

Looks like this one is on track to be included, so moved to Feature Requests.

The only problem I have with this is people giving a bad ranking to your map because it's a song they don't like or if it was too hard (I know we're supposed to make enough difficulties for even beginners, but you don't have to make it so ANYONE can beat it, I doubt a beginner could beat SSAY with Hajime) Other than that this sounds like an awesome idea and it will get more people to create amazing beatmaps.
awp
Yes, but when you have 50 votes on a map, one disgruntled cretin can do little to sway the votes.

This map has been deleted on the request of its creator. It is no longer available.

This ranking is based on a weighted average of all your ranked maps, with a bonus proportional to the number of ranked maps you have.
I still don't get this, is it any related to the star rating? If it is, I should stop putting 10s on any beatmap that needs a rating :)

Its based mostly on star ratings, yes. So start rating properly >:|

Is there a hypothetical point where the bonus from one's already ranked beatmaps can surpass the importance of each beatmap's individual star rating? Is there a cap to the bonus, or perhaps does one have to have like 100+ maps ranked before that happens?
peppy
The formula used is:

(sumRatings / numberOfRatings) * (1 + 0.03ish * numberOfMapsRanked)

So at the moment there is no cap, and as it is a linear ratio multipler, should not surpass the importance of stars themselves.
James
Okay, so I should rate songs properly now.

Wait a moment, that's just the average, right? Isn't the weighted average of the ratings supposed to be the sum of the products of each beatmap's rating times its number of ratings, divided by the total number of ratings, as in:

(Rating for map #1 * map #1's number of votes) + (Rating for map #2 * map #2's number of votes) etc.../Total number of votes for all of the beatmapper's maps?

Although it might be best for me if I shut up, since this will lower my beatmapper rank thanks to J-E-N-O-V-A...
peppy
pretty sure it works out to the exact same number.

No, it doesn't. With the above formula my score would be about 8,50 instead of 8,57 and awp's about 9,82 instead of 9,99, for example. I'm not sure in which way or by how much other scores would change. I believe weighting by number of votes is needed because I think the more people have voted for a beatmap, the more "consolidated" its rating is, if that makes sense.
Saturos
Nah, that formula will always remain a number between 0-10, based solely on the ratings. I did Aliento's rating using that formula really quick:

[(Rating for map #1 * map #1's number of votes) + (Rating for map #2 * map #2's number of votes) + (Rating for map #3 * map #3's number of votes)] / Sum of Play Counts = Avg weighted rating

[(7.9*120) + (8.3*44) + (8.1*75)] / (120+44+75) = Avg weighted rating

[948 + 365.2 + 607.5] / (120+44+75) = Avg weighted rating

1920.7 / 239 = Avg weighted rating

Avg Weighted Rating = 8.0364

EDIT: Seems Sinistro beat me to the post, but I gotz teh mathz0rz.

Weird...why do I see different ratings and vote totals for Aliento's beatmaps? Specifically, 7.5*145, 7.9*68 and 7.1*52, ultimately resulting in a rating of about 8.2013.

Yeah, when I said "with the above formula" earlier I got a little sloppy in my expression; I actually meant the formula of the weighted average I posted with the ranked beatmap bonus multiplier, which I had left off to focus on the formula's first part. To be precise, my proposal for the beatmapper ranking formula is:

[(Rating for map #1 * map #1's number of votes) + (Rating for map #2 * map #2's number of votes) etc.../Total number of votes for all of the beatmapper's maps] * (1 + 0.03ish * numberOfMapsRanked)

While it's true that someone can have an unjustly high ranking because their maps only have a few votes to them, I find it likely that players are going to look at the beatmapper rankings, think "hey this person rules I'll get his/her stuff", play the beatmaps, and thusly vote on them, which should serve to balance it out a bit and result in a more accurate standing over time.
peppy
ah, nevermind what i said earlier. i was in zombie mode at work :P.

i guess doing it based on weighted averages would be more fair, though.

Just to be clear, that was directed at peppy, not you. ;x

The rating data is stored in the database as (total votes * rating) already, therefore "sumRatings" is in fact sum of (total votes * rating), and not sum of (rating).

In other words, the formula is:

SUM(total votes * rating) / SUM(votes) * bonus
peppy
Added to the site menu. Good job echo!

Where?

It's under Rankings. You might need to refresh your page, like I did.

[nitpick] "Player" and "Mod" are in singular, but "Mappers" is in plural. [/nitpick]

You might have to Ctrl+F5, which forces most browsers to get all the content from the server instead of using local cached ones.

Are the ranking scores being updated with each new vote? I think they've stayed the same from when they were first posted.

There is no autoupdate code in place (blame me for being lazy)... should be up in a while.

edit: ok, it's up, and *hopefully* should be working as it should... if any ranking mechanism (eg. song page/osu ranking page) fails yell at me on irc please
