Game Informer is a 1-10 scale yet 7 is average.

Once we get more members voting, it'll be really easy to get rid of those scores that mess up the ratings. Like a real survey, drop the lowest 1% of the scores and the highest 1% of the scores.
That way:
If you have scores of 80, 76, 100, 2, 69. Your average would be a 76.
This will/would work a lot better on a larger scale. The only problem with this method is that you'd almost never have a game rated 1, nor a game rated 100. But no matter what scale....This is usually the case.

is that on purpose or an accident?
this isnt school, if you are going to have an effective scale, avergae games should be in middle of the scoring range.

It is on pupose. Over the years an average score for them is 7. I still think it is realy stupid. 1-10 average is 5 IMO.

with a narrow scale, you wouldnt need to bother removing outliers

No matter what the scale is, there's always going to be people ranking games the highest and lowest. With a 5 point scale, people will be ranking 1s and 5s more than anything I would think. The scale could be changed, but right now there just hasn't been enough people rating to justify that. The way it would work is that the 100-point scale would stand, but as captn said earlier it would scale. So a 1 would be 20, 2 would be 40, and so on for a five point scale. So it would be the same scale, just not as precise as it is now.
Until people start rating games seriously, I really don't think a change is needed.

if each person's rating was listed with their collection then you could see the fanboyism and hate as a pattern, then it's either vote fairly or not at all because everyone can see them openly.

Just wait for people to start voting and it will even itself out like everyone says. We just need more votes. Plain and simple.
