I think there should be more info as to what the exact topic is. As long as something was talking about Mario Galaxy, it was relevant. It would also be more interesting to ask whether I agreed with it or not or whether I thought the post was interesting or uninteresting.

Fun project, all the best with it.

Thanks for your sugguestions, happydolphin.

I will take them into consideration in future experiments.

The concept of relevance if very subjective and varies from people to people, this is why I'm studying it.

For instance, in your case you may want to judge an opinion as relevant or not if it was interesting or not for you or even if you agree or don't with it.

Not completely. I see where you're coming from, but relevance is really how accurately is the post close to the topic at hand. Without a topical reference point, we can't judge relevance (a game title is much too vague in the context of vgchartz discussion topics).

However, I'll admit and agree with you that people will judge relevance based on a personal system which doesn't match the definition of what "Relevance" means, and so you may be right that relevance ends up being judged with criteria such as level of interesing or information provided.
