Regarding the Favorites list, I think some weighting is effectively accomplished by the sheer number of people favouriting a game, and also if one notes if an inventor is favouriting his own game that's in question (if so, this would presumably mean less in the eyes of at least some CVP members or visitors).

There is also another sort of form of weighting done, in effect, by whether people's favourite variant(s) make e.g. the Recognized Chess Variants list, the Top 50 played Game Courier games list, and possibly other lists (as of now, this might include whether a variant is given as a Primary Item, as chosen by editor[s], for the main alphabetical index). All this depends how much people are willing to look at all these other lists outside of the Favorites one, though.

Fwiw, I once suggested to Fergus in a Comment here that for the Favorites list, perhaps favourited games might not be shown on said list until they were favourited at least twice, to keep the Favorites list reasonably short (at least for a while).
