Proposal: Make the display of decimal ranks more directly understandable

With the voting results up to now, I think we can draw some conclusions about the decimal rank display system on OGS:

  • System A (OP proposal) is not considered to be much clearer than system C (the current system), though we should note that system C may have the incumbent’s advantage.
  • Of the options presented, system B is considered the least confusing way of displaying decimal ranks, although system B is not perfect either.

There is some concern that changing the decimal rank display system just like that will result in numerous complaints from confused/dissatisfied users. So if OGS will go ahead with changing its decimal rank display system, it may be better to include that change in the next larger rating/ranking system update, whenever that will take place.
