Confused about the Eroids Scoring System for Sources
I am a bit confused about the sources scoring system used on eroids.com. I'd be grateful if someone could explain to me how the scoring works. There seems to be some inconsistencies.
For example, if you look at the current HGH & Peptide source reviews here: https://www.eroids.com/reviews/hgh-sources , the top HGH & Peptide sources have a score of typically around 80 or 90, but then most of the rest of the sources are scored at zero.
Yet some of the sources with a zero score have many pages of mostly good reviews ("I recommend shopping here!") with only a few bad reviews ("I DO NOT recommend shopping here!").
For example: stenlabs.com has mostly good reviews, and one or two bad reviews, but is given a score of zero (see: https://www.eroids.com/reviews/stenlabs.com ).
By contrast, evolutionpeptides.com has quite a few bad reviews, but is given a high score of 85 (see: https://www.eroids.com/reviews/evolutionpeptides.com ).
Also, can I ask, why is the scoring system quite extreme: the top sources that are scored in the 80s or 90s, but then most other sources are scored at zero. Surely you would expect a more even range of scores: if a source is excellent, then it might be scored as 80 or 90; if source is just average, then you might expect a score of say 50 to 70; and if the source was low quality, you might expect a score of say 20 to 40.
In other words, you would normally expect an even range of scores, rather than a system where the score is mostly either in the 80s or 90s, or otherwise zero. So I'd just like to understand why the scoring system quite extreme, and why there are so many sources with zero score.
Also, on a different subject, why is peptidesciences.com no longer listed in the HGH & Peptide sources? If you look at the reviews for peptidesciences.com here: https://www.eroids.com/reviews/peptidesciences.com , you see that the reviews are good, but this source is not listed at all on the HGH & Peptide sources page.
Peptidesciences.com were listed a few months ago with a good score of 86 (see the April 2016 archive of the HGH & Peptide sources webpage on the Wayback Archive, where peptidesciences.com was listed: http://wayback.archive.org/web/20160430160656/https://www.eroids.com/rev... ).
But now peptidesciences.com seems to have disappeared from the HGH & Peptide sources list.
Anyway, if someone could explain to me how the scoring system works, I'd be very grateful.
Myself, I have come to eroids.com looking for a reliable supplier of somatropin, either Hygetropin or Jintropin (which I need for medical reasons, rather than bodybuilding). Eroids.com is a great review website, and I am very grateful for it. Eroids.com I think is the only website which user-reviews peptide, HGH and steroid suppliers, and helps people avoid the scam and low quality suppliers.

Heres a question i have..it may be answered already...but havent seen it...why on the source review section with the scores is mexgear still up there with an 87 score...but has confirmed as a scam site..with no activity in almost 2 yrs?
Just like everything in bodybuilding and fitness... Just got to trust the process. It may seem fucked up at times but you just got to trust it and then bam next thing you know you're winning overall in your show!
Look bro...this is a time in your life where it's normal to be confused with things. You'll see things that may or may not look right, some things will excite you that shouldn't. You'll question everything that you thought made sense in your younger years. Hell you might even question your sexuality. That happens a lot. The only thing you need to know is BFG loves you. He is here for you with his beautiful site. His mods, homo and no homo alike will keep the masses in line. It's all going to be ok.
Just hang around for a while. Learn the product, the people, and the lifestyle. Before you know it, you will be a steroid Jedi like myself, and the ranking won't matter. You will know where to go for your juice instinctively. Just put in the time my young pattawon. The force will be with you.

Here is another example of strange scoring: if you look at the reviews of peptideswarehouse.com (see: https://www.eroids.com/reviews/peptideswarehouse.com ), there is not one bad review. All the reviews say "I recommend shopping here!" Yet this source has a score of 0 out of 100.
I don't understand why it gets a score of zero, when all its reviews are good.
Peptidewarehouse hasn't had anyone vote in the last 6 months. New users are unable to affect scoring system. Please see below for further explanation.
Voting, source submissions, thumbs up/down, all of these require karma. Karma is generally dictated by your contribution to the community,
https://www.eroids.com/news/revised-voting-system
It needed a change, due to abuse and too much moderation work. So here is what we got:
Different "roles" affect author's karma differently. The higher your role is the more say you have. For instance, GURU's vote will give more karma to comment's author than "LVL1"
These roles give +3
MOD - "MOD badge" Assigned by us.
GURU - "GURU badge" Assigned by us.
PRO - "PROFESSIONAL badge" Assigned by us.
These roles give +2
EXP - "EXPERT badge" Needs karma +650 or higher
ADV - "ADVANCED badge" Needs karma +400 or higher
These roles give +1
LVL3 - "LVL3 badge" Needs karma +200 or higher
LVL2 - "LVL2 badge" Needs karma +100 or higher
LVL1 - "LVL1 badge" Needs karma +50 or higher
These roles give 0, but add to thumbs up/down count in comments
SRC - "SOURCE Representative badge" Assigned by us.
REG - "Regular user badge" Needs karma +6 or higher.
BASIC - "Basic user badge" Karma -25 to +5.
TROLL - "Troll badge" Karma -25 or lower.
NEW - "NEW badge" Starts with Karma +1.
NEW can not vote anything except if he has advanced to REG within 3 weeks.
We need to make soure he/she is not here just to spam or troll.
@ChickenBirdOfGains Thanks for your reply. So you are saying that votes are weighted according to a member's earned karma. That sounds like a good system, to give more voting sway to those who are long term and reliable members.
So when you see a source score (for example, a source score of 86), what is that based on? Is that score based on:
(1) The number of thumbs up/down.
(2) The number of"I recommend shopping here!" and "I DO NOT recommend shopping here!" comments.
(3) The 1 to 10 star ratings for Quality, Service, Delivery, Pricing.
Because it seems like there are three different voting systems to rate sources; which system is used to calculate the source score (for example, 86) that you see on the HGH & Peptide Sources page?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayes_estimator
Your votes (and source's score/rank) are separated chronologically. Eroids will now show you who received most and best votes in the last month, last six months, and last 12 months.
This effectively gives us a new outlook.
Trending scoreboard is a representation of votes placed for a source in the last month.
Use this to see who is rising or upcoming. It also shows you who is consistently being pumped with best and most votes on monthly basis
Stable represents a collection of votes received in the last 6 months.
This is the default display. It's what I feel most accurately represents current state, with a pool of votes big enough to vouch for source's stability.
Stale (for lack of a better word) scoreboard represents our old system - with votes up to 12 months old.
This table might not realistically represent current public opinion, e.g. source's support or quality went down (or up) in the last months, but they're still resting on their laurels, due to many old (stale) votes.
You know you have a winner when you find a source in all three categories.
It means the source has done well over a period of 12 months (stale), is getting constant support by users (trending), and have proven themselves worthy of your attention in the near past (stable).
IMPORTANT: Votes older than 6 months are NOT INCLUDED in the ranking algorithm
SRC Score depends on site average. Meaning if Source A loses 10pts, Source B could see a change in average score!
Median are calculated by taking values from all sources into account.
Score is updated once per day (sometimes it has to be run manually...), you might be getting wrong for a short period of time.
