Hey everyone! So I have this new idea for a way we can get points for our shows. I've just been thinking, we use the points to decide the popularity of the shows. But all of the points are gained from publicity and that basically decides the shows fate. It really sucks that the actual quality of the shows has a little effect on how many points the show has. So I thought of this new thing we could do to allow shows to get some points based off it's quality.

So basically I'm thinking we start having community votings where we rate episodes of shows on a scale of 1 star to 5 stars. Basically, we have one big master page where all of this takes place. The episodes will be organized by date. Here is an example of how it'd look:  FRIDAY, APRIL 24 RATE 5 stars 4 stars 3 stars 2 stars 1 star RATE 5 stars 4 stars 3 stars 2 stars 1 star

So yeah, basically, it'd be formatted like that on the big master page. We could give about two weeks for each day for people to vote, then after two weeks, the results would be documented somewhere, maybe on the show's page. Then you'd get points based on your average amount of stars (add up all the stars you got, for example if 2 people voted 5 stars, 3 voted 4, and 2 voted 1 then add 5+5+4+4+4+1+1 and divide it by 7)! Here is what I'm thinking how many points you get:


 * 5 to 4.5 stars - You get 15 points for a 5 to 4.5 star average
 * 4.4 to 3.5 stars - You get 10 points for 4.4 to 3.5
 * 3.4 to 2.5 stars - You get 5 points
 * Anything less you don't get anything

I really think this is a great way to A) Keep shows constantly getting points so they don't have to constantly rely on promotion B) Allows quality shows that don't get much publicity to get some points based on their quality

I think the only problem I see is updating the page. If this happens, I can take responsibility for it for the first month and if it goes well with just me doing it, I think we all should be able to handle doing it together.

So what do you guys think? :)
