I get what you are trying to do, but I don't think it will change anything. That would cause Metacritic to try to enforce other sites to all use the same rating system, in some cases they are known because of the rating systems they use and people visit them because of that. 

Best case scenario everyone complies and it makes no different for ratings of games anyway because they are just critics opinions on games. 

Worst case scenario few of the sites comply and Metacritic looses the ability to post these sites scores which deminishes the effectiveness of Metacritic in general and then Metacritic looses traffic and it actually hurts their site.

And I get your point also.

With my Method, or a similar one, you would not have a 20/100 to a Game like Halo4(Quarter to Three); fact is, more and more people think that Metacritic's become a joke lately, with everybody being free to do whatever they want, without any ''quality control''. It's a mess, so why not to improve a bit ? I know it's hard, also for the reasons you mentioned.


Why not start a petition to get those sites removed from Metacritic instead? Wouldnt it solve the same problem without trying to force a system on sites who haven't been doing anything wrong.
