Final Ratings

Fagerstrom 'n' Strong is committed to producing reviews of unparalleled quality and utilises mathematics to generate a weighted system. The reviewer (the person who writes the review of a particular item) receives additional weighting to their rating depending on the score they give. This additional weighting is called a ‘buff’. Low and high ratings entail reduced buffs. Extreme ratings entail no buff (the arithmetic mean of both ratings is used instead). This is to ensure the reviewer does not skew the results of an item and to maintain balance with the other person giving a rating.
