You are right about the use of the age filter to reflect 'current' ratings (this is not enterely true, but it can be a better approximation), although I still disagree with you about the weighted history, I think it can be good for our purposes, but I recognize it is not easy give the weights in every case. This site contains many games for which people is learning and constructing some basis for better play by experience, and this is a step-by-step proccess, perhaps long in time; all of us must be considered real novices in many games, this is a reason to consider weighted history, precisely by the nature of this site. The case is other if we are talking about old, popular games widely played since a lot of time, but TCVP contains many new games, and the list is expected to grow in the future. I insist with other claim: not all games must be rated, or the rating system can be a tool which mainly reflects how good is someone to play in an inedit scenario. The list of 'rated' games can grow, but with games that become 'relatively popular' with time.
