How We Calculate Ranking

Ranking is NOT based on total historical vote count. The formula favors recent activity:

score(server) = Σ 0.5^(vote_age_in_hours / halfLife)   [VALID votes only]
              × (0.9 + 0.1 × uptime_30d / 100)
  • Each vote contributes a weight that decays exponentially with its age (default half-life: 48h, admin-configurable).
  • Only VALID-status votes count — rejected or suspicious ones are automatically excluded.
  • A small uptime factor (10% of the score by default) rewards servers that are actually online.
  • Featured/Sponsored placements do NOT influence this score — that's a separate, visually distinct placement.
  • Ranking can be filtered by Chronicle, Platform, Rates, Type, Country, Language and combined freely.

The formula's parameters are configurable from Admin → Settings, without changing code.
