An admitted problem. The issue with the rating system for me is that it has a base number of minimum ratings (I think it's either 10 or twenty) but even if you get say 6 nines there are still 4 0s averaged into your overall score. This scews all the ratings just like you said. Maybe we should get rid of the minmum number of scores? Or perhaps reduce that number to say 3? This isn't a huge site after all, I think the highest rated piece on the whole thing is still only 3 or 4.
