TWO MINOR SUGGESTIONS I'D REALLY LIKE TO SEE.

There's a couple things I'd really think would make simple but functional additions to the site.
I've mentioned these things in passing a few times, but this is my official feedback/request and after this I'll drop it :)
1. Would it be possible to simply have "Average based on X review(s)" displayed in small text beneath all star ratings, wherever they appear on the site? (on search results, listings and gamepages). This would be a really simple way to "fix" the ratings system without having to give it a complete overhaul. It adds a degree of accuracy that plenty of people are already complaining about a lack of.
"This game's 5 star, oh, but only based on 1 review"
"This game's 3.5, based on 12 reviews. That's pretty impressive!"
2. My pet peeve with the site:
(I may be wrong in some of my details so I apologize in advance if I make any mistakes.)
I'm lead to believe that game-profile "owners" are able to list team members as developers or "other" team members. I am also lead to believe that non-dev team members do not show up on the game-page as credited with being the game's makers. That makes sense.. BUT
A person listed a as team member, for whatever reason, will have the game show up in their list of games on their profile, giving the impression that they were a Dev on that project - That they made that game.
Then you click the game and find that person isn't listed at all on the game-page because they weren't a Dev, they were just a team member and only listed devs show up on the profile.
Personally I think it'd be much better if, on member profiles' games lists there was, next to the title of the game a small "ROLE" field that is automatically filled in based on form entry information that is input by the developer who lists the team members on a game profile. (Say: Composer, Artist, Pixel Artist, Tester or just "additional help" or something.. I'm sure you can figure this out easily enough, or perhaps leave it as a text-entry box so that the developer/game-page "owner" can put their own custom role titles in). So when you view a member's games it will say "Developer" or "Team Member: Composer" next to each game title depending on that member's role in the production.
On the flip-side, on game-pages ALL team members should be listed underneath the developers with their own sub-heading and possible auto-generated (via form-input) role title.
I think these two additions would really enhance the site's functionality and help everyone know who does what.
Of course implementing these would lead to a few new possibilities in terms of search functionality and member profile options: (EG: See all games that X developed / See all games that X worked on) but those are just ideas.

these are both pretty good ideas
I especially like #1 since so many people don't check to see how many reviews a certain game got and just look at the star rating like NewBlack said a 3 on a game with 1 review and a 3 on a game with 10 are two very different things

While we're at it, could it be made so you can search for a member? Otherwise you have to look for a post they made in the forums (and not everyone uses them) in order to look for their games/contact/stuff.
if you know the member you're looking for, just tack their username on to http://rpgmaker.net/users/
so for me, you would just type rpgmaker.net/users/tardis in your address bar. much simpler than a search function.

I'm only one day into this community so my opinion may not matter but I like the first idea! I can't really decide on the second one because I've not really noticed that yet.
Yeah I brought up the first one already. It's a really good idea. Hopefully it can be implemented. The second one isn't that important but yeah, it'd be a nice touch.

yeah but what if you wanted to get to feldsnatch IV's page? NO ONE can spell his name!
You can use the site: prefix in google.
Ie, search; site:rpgmaker.net feldsnatch IV
http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Arpgmaker.net+feldsnatch+IV
"feldschlacht", its not that hard. Practice your german!
On top of that its a reference to the saga frontier soundtrack.

my german begins and ends with strudel.
And both search results were from me posting 'feldsnatch'
EDIT:
and you should know I don't know what a saga frontier is.
