On the voting page, click and hold a candidate in the Candidates area, drag them into a tier from S (highest) to F (lowest), and release to place them. On mobile, press and hold before dragging. You can move candidates between tiers, reorder them within a tier, or drag them back to Candidates to remove their rating.

How you rate candidates is entirely up to you. You can base your rankings on objective qualities, practical usefulness, personal preferences, emotional attachment, or simply how much you like something. There are no strict criteria or right and wrong answers — it's your tier list, so rank things your way.

You can skip voting for some candidates if you don't know them or aren't sure how to rate them. Skipped and unrated candidates receive no default tier and do not affect average scores or vote distributions.

Candidate order within a tier is saved for you, but does not affect the community ranking. Ratings count as soon as they are saved automatically. Finish this list can mark a partial list as completed, and you can edit it later; finishing is optional and does not affect whether your ratings count.

The community result

Each account contributes one rating per candidate: S = 6, A = 5, B = 4, C = 3, D = 2, F = 1. Equal spacing between tiers is a product convention.

The average score determines the nearest tier, with halfway values going to the higher tier. It may differ from the majority's choice: one S and one F average to 3.5, giving B. Within each community tier, candidates appear by average score, highest first.

Candidate details show rating counts and distributions. The result reflects those who chose to vote, not a representative survey; small samples can change substantially. Candidates without ratings have no community tier. Expert lists are independent.
