I have a user that is busting my chops about site ratings. One particular site is getting rated far more than normal and the ratings seem to be very low. A few other site ratings look a little peculiar too. I had always assumed that the ratings were simply an average of all the scores given to a particular site. The scripts post the number of votes and the average score to the site's record. I have read in another thread that a user is unable to rate a site a second time within 6 hours unless he somehow changes his IP address. My questions are, is the ratings calculation more complicated than I thought and if so how are they calculated? Does anyone have any thoughts about what might be going on with my ratings. Is this simply a conspiracy against the one site that is more complicated than the Kennedy assassination?
Thanks to a tip from Eliot about running the top command with telnet, I was able to see what nph_build.cgi was doing to my server this morning. At the peak load it was using 97.4% of the cpu and 10.8% of memory. I have 2263 links and the database is about 3/4 MB. Build All takes about 2 1/2 minutes. Is this typical? If it is I can see why some hosting companies object to Links 2.
Thanks for your thoughts.
