v4 Update – Improved Quality Score Formula:
The Quality Score model has been updated to give more reliable results across all fic lengths. Short works no longer drop too low, and longfics aren’t pushed higher than they should be, leading to a more even score distribution overall. Because this changes how raw scores are calculated, your max score and threshold settings were reset to the new defaults (max raw score is now 22 instead of 32). If you're updating from an older version, you may want to adjust these based on the typical scores in your fandom.
⚠️ Important for Chromium-based browsers: If you're using Chrome, Brave, Vivaldi, or Microsoft Edge on PC, an extra activation step is required. Follow these instructions.
