Search vs Rating
Our priority for the V-Rate integrated search engine is “Relevance”. However the order of the relevant videos is decided by V-rate and the users. If you were to search for “cute puppy” and the results showed 325,765 videos, the top videos would be the ones with a higher V-rate rank. Therefore, not only does V-rate help you find the video you are looking for, it also allows you to watch that video in the highest quality available.
Voting Power
Even though V-Rate system still relies heavily on number of votes, that is not to say that every vote is valued the same. Depending on certain factors such as your contribution, date joined, or V-Rates distributed, your vote may hold more or less power than the vote of another user. In short, the higher your vote is valued, the higher you yourself are valued in the community. Here are some factors that contribute:
- Registered members - A registered member has gained some aspect of trust, therefore, his vote will be considered more important than the vote of an incognito user who decided to rate a video.
- Date Joined - Even though this is not a critical detail when it comes to your personality and efforts, time has no rival. We acknowledge and recognize users who have been with us longer, so you will gain trust and power with time.
- Number of V-Rates - They say that the best way to learn, is by doing, and the best way to improve, is to contribute. Your contributions will be noted as the more times you use our V-Rate system, thus the more power your votes will hold.
