Hi Everyone...

I wanted to ask the people concerned, is there no better way to evaluate ratings of shows and celebs on the site? The chaska meter system seems flawed... It seems people can easily drive it their way by just understanding how it works... Else why would there be so much discrepancy between the chaska meter ratings and actual popularity of shows? I mean, a show as popular as Kapil Sharma's show, or Bhabhiji ghar pe hain are way way down in the chaska meter while everyone knows these are today's top rated shows that almost everyone watches (at least majority does)... I have seen that there are tricks we can use to help the shows get up the chaska meter... Infact forums carry sticky topics on how to make shows rise in ratings... Say the activity in a forum helps improve chaska meter ranking... This means, even if a group of 2-3 members are just chatting away or just posting meaningless comments, it adds to forum activity... Wouldnt it be better to rather gauge how many silent members are visiting a forum just to get news on their show? Or maybe some other criterion that cannot be driven to your advantage... Else I dont see any credibility in this system...

I also have a question regarding TellyBuzz articles... Why dont the comments made their count as posts made by you?

Thanks 😊

Honestly, Chaska Meter ranks etc never looked understandable to me by some of things or doubts. All I know is they count every activity, which people do in forum. (Including spam?)

Hi Dev 😊 BB is coming soon - all geared up for it?? 😆

Yes, thats the point I am making - CM Ratings depend mainly on activity but I feel the popularity of a show is gauged not by activity in a forum but how many people actually watch the show... Shows like Kapil's show - majority watch but it is of the nature where there is not much to discuss... Its just gags and episodic - it doesnt have a storyline that members come and discuss... SO obviously it has low activity... But that shouldnt make it less popular/ranked... Current CM is more if I may say "fangirl" driven where most such members come and swoon over the lead cast... And all these forums that get top ranks are more FanClubs of the show/cast than a Forum... If you even post some genuine topic in these forums that criticizes a track or character, you get bashed... I-F being such a popular platform, I really wish it had a better rating system than the current one...
