You mean what the estimated difficulty will be if you request an audiovisual item with the estimated level as blank?
Yes you’re right that we don’t have any categories currently to help us out, outside TV vs Movie. Right now i’m just defaulting to lvl 30 to see how it goes. All the items requested in the seeding database thread will be treated as non-temporary ratings to start off. I may also choose to have all new requests also be non-temporary, we’ll see. I just want as many comparisons as possible in the beginning and I don’t want someone with all temporary rated items in their library to not be able to grade.
For the first month or two it’ll be a bit of a bumpy ride wrt difficulty. I’m intending to do a full recalculation/reanalysis after a month to see where we stand.
Edit:
I also suspect that getting at least some better broad buckets for the items (Anime/Action/Romance… etc) may be pretty critical. TMDB, the database i’m using, does have a lot of genre tags I can use, just have to figure out the best way to use them. That may eventually impact the default rating.
