Why isn't Delerium Nocturnum at the top above La Chouffe?

Ranking will be the most important asset of goodbre.ws.

Clearify ranking.

Ranking takes a lot of things into consideration. To have it be just a ratio of likes to dislikes, or a ratio of likes to ratings, would make it too easy to game the system. There's a lot more math going on, similar to how Reddit sorts "best" comments. For more info, see the "Correct Solution" here: http://www.evanmiller.org/how-not-to-sort-by-average-rating.html
