That got me thinking. If you averaged the users' total reviews and then centered their score on a slightly larger scale then you could accomplish something like that: Adjusted Value 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Ave +------------------ 1 | 1 2 3 4 5 2 | 1 2 3 4 5 3 | 1 2 3 4 5 4 | 1 2 3 4 5 5 | 1 2 3 4 5 So if I rate a bunch of things and my average review score is 4, then things I rate as a "1" would have an adjusted value of "2", and things I rate as a "5" have an adjusted value of "6". That would "find everyone's center" and maybe score things more evenly.
