I've been digging through some old topics/posts and a lot of people would like the current rating system to change.
Also: this is not a duplicate of Ekaru's or Dark's topic. (inb4 somebody posts it.) This is a request for a 2 way option, not a 5 way like they had.
3 random quotes I found doing some searching;
The 1-10 voting system just doesn't work; 1 voters/10 voters pretty much ruin the whole system and don't give an accurate rating.
Previous topics all had like a 5 option rating system, which is too many to be honest.
5 options will barely improve the troll voting/10 voting. Maybe slightly, but not enough.
What we should do is that we should simplify it to only 2 options, like on sites as youtube or rottentomatoes.
After a beatmap has been played, we should be able to just 'Like' or 'Not Like' a beatmap. (Thumbs up/thumbs down, etc.)
A simple option which will make the rating system way more accurate. Why?
And like I said before, major sites like youtube and rottentomatoes already use this option, and it works great.
If it would also be possible to make your votes weighted, that be even more sexy~ (I know imdb used weighted votes too)
It's a rating system which will bring more justice to mappers, so it would be very sexy if this would be implented~

I'm not sure if the rating spread should be removed as much as the rating system redesigned, though. A "thumbs up"/"thumbs down" kinda thing would be cool.

I want this so badly. Like and dislikes like youtube is perfect. If you're a pro youtube user, you know that likes and dislikes are better than any other 1-5/10 rating system.

I'd be fine with a "like/dislike", and that would pave the way for weighted voting:voter.relativeweight = 1 - ( abs(voter.likedmaps - voter.dislikedmaps) / voter.numvotes)
The voter's vote weight, defaulting to 1, is decreased by the difference between their + votes and - votes with respect to their total number of votes.
100 liked, 0 disliked: no weight.
4 liked, 2 disliked: 67% weight.
1 liked, 1 disliked: 100% weight.
Edit: maybe even have a slight weighting advantage to people who vote more often?voter.relativeweight = 1 - ( abs(voter.likedmaps - voter.dislikedmaps) / voter.numvotes) + 0.15 * log(voter.numvotes)

- Troll voters can only 'Not Like' a map now instead of tremendously decreasing the rating on a map.
- 10 voters who vote 10 on every single beatmap get the same effect as troll voters. Their vote won't tremendously increase the beatmaps rating. And believe me, osu! has ALOT of 10 voters. They are more of a burden than troll voters at the moment.
