By popular demand you now have the ability to toggle designer self-ratings at the site-wide level.
In your
My PG-HQ > Profile settings section there is a new table called
Toggle Designer Self Ratings...
By default, you are viewing ALL ratings (including DSRs). By changing that to exclude, all ratings you view on the site will ignore DSRs. This affects the following areas:
- all overall average ratings and vote counts for Library items
- all scenario average ratings found on scenario lists
- all average ratings in Search results
- all average ratings on Statistics & Rankings page
- designer average ratings on PG Humans page
It does not include the average rating listed in your game collection, but that's only because I forgot about it and will do it in a bit.
One outcome of excluding DSRs is "ghost plays" ... best witnessed on
Nihon Silk. Currently, if you exclude DSRs and then expand the scenario list you will see that 9 of the 10 scenarios have no rating despite having been played. This is not an error, rather it is because you are excluding Jay Townsend's DSR.
The toggle is instantaneous and reversible, feel free to jump back and forth.
