Totally unrelated, but anyone have any idea how to get a link with parentheses in it to embed inside url tags in BBS-HTML properly?

Code:
[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchoring_%28cognitive_bias%29]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchoring_(cognitive_bias)[/url]


Yields: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchoring_(cognitive_bias) If you prefer, you can replace the url itself (with the () in it) with some other descriptive text, like cognitive bias.

I'm sure I'm not the only one that does this - but I do re-evaluate my score after seeing the review + reviewer & community scores if mine doesn't match.

However I tend to stick with my original score unless the review convinces me I've missed something or been overly critical/generous.

I think it's probably makes 0.5 star differences if any at all.

This season does feel particularly weak (but does mean I've been able to catch up reading some LN's & Manga I'd stacked up over the winter season).

Currently working my way through Bookworm & Spy x Family. Having completed all 24 + intermission volumes of Mushoku Tensei (which if they adapt the lot is going to be re:zero levels of epic - even if you hate Rudy)..

Maybe we just have a really harsh critic out there, but it looks to me like someone is already going through and gaming the system by giving zeros to everything, even episodes that haven't yet aired. If no one has rated an episode, it says "Community score: none yet." But on this week's page alone I'm seeing five 0 scores, six if you count the one where it appears I'm the only other person to have given a score (it was 0 until I gave it a 3, now it's 1.5).

Not really sure what the point is, since only reviewed series are on the graphs, and those will have enough input to overshadow the 0s unless lots of people really hate the episode.

I do too, but I don't see that as a problem that needs fixing, do you? If I re-evaluate based on the review or even the community score, I'm aware I'm doing it. I thought njprogfan's concern was that they were influenced unaware, and again, that seems like it could be avoided simply by deciding before you open a page where you rate. If you then consciously decide to change it based on new input, well, you know, free will and all.

I dunno, this just seems to be a lot of worry over something that's fairly meaningless and for entertainment and curiosity. No one's livelihood or reputation depends on the final score. Even though I was just pointing out above that the scores might not be quite kosher, I don't see any dire consequences even if that's the case.

I mean -- it's not like anyone is going to die because the ratings have some extra systematic error in them or some such, of course, but it's still kind of neat to try to figure out if there are ways it could be improved, IMO.

Oh, nice! I didn't even think to look up the URL-encoding of (, ). That explains it. Thanks!
