OK, I've now changed the filter to allow filtering items with up to 25 ratings instead of just 10 (this doesn't affect the calculation, it just allows you to filter out more items on the top-rated page).

No problem with the current ranks, the problem is that 10 ratings are not enough to show how good or bad the item is. for me at least.
So, adding higher numbers for the option and keeping the value of number 10 for the Bayesian average as same as now is a good idea I think.

I know. I was talking about the number of ratings.

How about higher than 10 for "Minimum rating:" option in Top-Rated charts.

Because if the minimum amount if ratings required for an item to show on the charts is 10, so it should be there higher than 10 for that option, not fewer.

Personally, I don't like charts flooded with less than 20 rating items. I think less than 20 or 25 ratings doesn't show a bit of the deserved value of an item.
