[TRIBUNAL] Could you tell me how "Vote accuracy" is measured?

MXXIV··2 votes·140 views

Today, I found out that users can participate in the Tribunal - that's a very good thing since I wish for faster feedback to the toxic, aggresive and negative players. It had let me only vote once though.
After that, I had a look at the stats page, see:

The tribunal

So what do the stats mean? FAQ didn't really help me here. Also, I don't understand that I can only vote once. There must be hundreds of people being reported for toxic behavior.

I believe Vote accuracy is measured based on how similar your vote was to other people who voted on the case.

When you vote on a case, there will be other people who vote on that case as well (I can't say exactly how many people can vote on the same case). "Vote Accuracy" is measured based on how similar your vote was to everyone elses.

So if, let's say 10 people reviewed a case, and all of them, including yourself, decided to punish a person, your vote would be 'accurate'. Now, if everyone else (or at least a MAJORITY of the people reviewing) decided to Pardon a case, and you voted to Punish them, your vote would lower your overall 'Vote accuracy'.

So long story short, I'd say it's intended to be a measure on how 'trustworthy' your vote can be, and to try and weed out people who just spam Punish without looking at the cases, by making their particular vote count for less. At least, that's how I understand the system. Keep in mind, I could be very wrong, but I am speaking to the best of my knowledge.


As for why you could only vote once, I am not sure. You can usually review up to 20 cases each day. Maybe try again tomorrow and see how many cases you can review, and see if it happens again.

I thought similar about the vote accuracy - but here's a point that it assumes that the majority is always right, which might be not always true. But there's no better way to tell I guess.

The oting problem is, that I see this message: "Tribunal in Recess" and it seems like there's no more to review. Which sounds absurd. There must be hundreds of persons reported multiple times (seems that 3 is enough).

"Tribunal in Recess" in my experience means that a lot of voting has happened recently and they are actually reviewing/distributing punishments before allowing continued voting. That could just be coincidence as well though, so don't take it as fact from me. It could also just be that they are doing spacing on voting so the community doesn't go from a few bans a day to a hundred bans in one day. That sort of swing could lead to "Nazi ban" threads and the like.
