It's been about three weeks since the change, and I thought it would be better to post this here than make a new thread.
I'm wondering if there might be changes to posts prior to November 24th, that would do something along the lines of changing their scores to match their favcounts.
Perhaps it is arbitrary, and I'm certainly not going to complain if the change isn't made. However, I believe that doing something along those lines would make everything more level.
To help clarify my point, I'll use some images from the Fate_(series) tag since that's currently what I pay the most attention to.
There's currently a post since the voting change that is within the top 50 images when using order:score, this being post #4951145. This is admittedly nowhere near the top post, but at the same time when looking from the perspective of order:favcount, the same post isn't even within the top 1,000 posts, it's somewhere closer to around 1,400.
I do realize that if there's a desire to find what would be the "true" highest scoring image that a person can turn to order:favcount for that going forward past a certain point. But considering that in some cases there's a massive gulf between what a post's score is and what it would be under the changed system - for example the top post which is post #3126673 which has a score of 815 under the old system but would have a score of over 2,000 with the new standard - I was curious as to whether the oddity would be addressed, or if it will be left as is.
Changing the old posts scores to that of their favcounts wouldn't be a completely accurate reflection of course, but it would bring things more in line with the standard that's been set.
