I recently changed my ranking system from 100, 90, 80...10 to 10, 9, 8...1 as described in this thread. Before I did this, my score/ranking distribution chart looked like a pretty normal bell curve. After the change, it looks like this.
If possible, I think the "score" scale should not default to 0 - 100. Rather, I think the score scale should go from the lowest rank to the highest rank a user has given. For example, my lowest rank is 1 and my highest rank is 10. So my score scale on the chart should be 1 - 10 not 0 - 100.
(Also note this chart is called "score distribution" here but called "ranking distribution" on the actual chart itself. Not sure if you want to change one so they are consistent.)
The ranking distribution chart looks weird when not using a 100 point scale

Okay, you're right about the distribution. That's likely something we just didn't test, but it really should limit itself to the max and min values of a user's rankings
We'll take a look at that, and at the naming convention. Thanks for pointing this out, and for supporting Criticker!

The issue described in the OP also exists in this chart: Average Score by Genre.
