I know it took Lucky some time to get it working properly, and the intention was to get the best videos fastest out of the queue. I like the concept in principle, but I don't think it's working.

1. Many of the best vids don't make it quickly out of the queue. The current Top 15 has six videos that had to be requeued to be published, which seems common.


2. The first pages of the queue favour videos with low views, because that's when the ratio is most likely to be skewed by chance. If the first few viewers happen to vote a video up, that gives it an unnaturally high ratio.


3. By the same token, if a video happens not to get votes on its first few views, it goes to the bottom of the pile, and all hope is lost.


4. The result is that the vast majority of submissions get between 4 and 7 votes and then languish for days.


5. Pagination doesn't work well, as the order bounces around a lot between page views.

It might be possible to fix some of these issues with a time-weighted ratio. But personally I'd like to see a return to sorting by queue date by default.
