Not really sure whether this is the best forum for this, so if mods think it should be moved then feel free.
I have just answered a questionnaire on meta critic about how they can improve their system. One of the annoyances i have about metacritic is all the yuppies who score a game 0/10 just because it wasnt quite what they were expecting. I would go as far to say that these people are just trolls and dont really add anything significant to the discussion. There is no objectivity to their review, they are simply trying to move the score closer to their view point because they understand it works on the law of averages. This makes the user score less useful in my view. It would be better to either replace it with a positive, negative, or mixed rating system, or remove the top and bottom 10% of ratings. i was just wondering what other peoples points of views were on this?
