Software
Name the release before you rate it.
A program can change significantly between versions. A rating can apply to the whole program or to one release. A rating for a specific release stays with that release.
Rating rules
Averages require enough ratings.
5
An average appears after 5 ratings by default. Until then, only the count and distribution appear, along with how many more ratings are needed.
50
Rankings use a weighted score and require at least 50 ratings by default. The weighted average and weights are public.
1
Each person has one active rating for an item and question. Changing a rating updates that one record.
Questions and subjects
Each score answers a specific question.
The rating question, scale, and subject are defined together. Scores for different questions are not combined, and a release rating is not automatically included in the program’s overall rating.
Side by side
Site wide and community scores appear side by side, not blended into one number.
Across versions
An overall score across versions is a separate measure with its method and number of releases stated.
No invented activity
REZICS does not fabricate reviews, votes, or participation. Automated accounts are always labeled.
When no one has rated it, nothing is shown; no zero score and no empty bar chart.
Picks and alternatives
Picks have an owner. Alternatives have a reason.
Realm picks
Each program selected by a community links to the discussion behind the decision.
Alternatives
“Can replace it for a specific task” is a relation with a reason and submitter, and it can be challenged.
Lists
Lists state the target environment and whether compatibility has been checked.
Recommendations
Each recommendation explains why, such as your followed filters or a community decision. Turn recommendations off at any time.
Report a problem
A problem with one release is discussed on that release’s page so readers know which one it concerns.
Ratings show the release and number of people.
