Second, I understood the whole point of a scale, whether 1-100 or the archaic 20-80, to be that all data points would fall somewhere on that scale, distributed (grrrr) according to some formula. So, of course I turn off ratings over 100; but then it bugs me that they are still out there, and some of the guys rated 100 are actually better than others, and wouldn't I want to know that? Math guys, explain please!
I understand the reasoning, I think the detail here is that in all previous versions of the game the default was the max rating cut off, I don't know why in this version of the game the default is that you can see the maximum rating.

I don't know why in this version of the game the default is that you can see the maximum rating, but this is easy to change in the global settings.
