Default [question] "Won't watch %"

Now that each anime has a global watched/watching/dropped/etc chart, I've noticed that none of them have any "won't watch" votes shown. At first I thought it was just that the series I was looking at hadn't been set as "won't watch" by anyone, but I've looked at quite a few entires now & it's virtually impossible for -none- of them to have been set as "won't watch". Did you intentionally omit all "won't watch" votes, or is something else going on?

it's been intentionally left out since day 1... the reason being, a very, very large amount of people seem to mark wont watch for anything in their list that isnt watched/watching/etc. i realized it would be a major, major stat skew to always have some huge number of wont watch (with the huge percentage that goes along with it) up for each anime.

What morons. Won't watch is only supposed to be for things like if you hate sports anime, then you mark any anime about sports as won't watch. ..Or if you've seen one of the countless yugioh series & hated it, then you wouldn't want to watch any of the others. If a series doesn't fit into any of the categories, just leave it blank. You don't have to have every single series marked as one thing or another!
*sigh* I guess these are the same mindless people who mark as series as watched when they've only seen 5 out of 50 eps (and probably the same ones who continuously ask about the anime lists & sigs, ignoring the stickies & previously asked questions).

Oh well, rant over. Thanks for answering.

*sings* "Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to completed you go!"

yeah ive pretty much learned that it's unrealistic to expect people will follow intended uses, and instead come up with ways to not allow those uses if it isnt something we want to support (such as not allowing watched unless it's marked as not ongoing, etc).

itll be the same with rec moderation in the future - if an anime is related, you physically wont be able to recommend it (itll throw an error), rather than me having to fail a crap ton of recs, even though the first rule on the pag eyou have to agree to says "NO RELATED ANIME RECS"
