- Explanation of the NCQ rating system
-
- The NCQ system of rating has been used here at Naughty Bits
- for quite some time. As with ALL rating systems, it is very
- subjective! The NCQ rating is composed of one optional character
- followed by a 3 number code. The NCQ file rating may be found
- as part of the file description when listing the file areas. If
- the NCQ is not listed, then that file is assumed to have a
- rating of 333. Now onto the meaning of the code.
-
- The first character of the NCQ rating is a image type descriptor.
- M = Monochrome image (dithered)
- C = CGA type image
- E = EGA type image
- S = SVGA image!
- (blank) = Regular VGA
-
- The first number of the code represents the Nasty (N) value of
- the GIF/GL file. This number ranges from 1 (really dull!) to 5 (HOT!!).
-
- The second number represents the composition (C) of the image(s).
- This number also ranges from 1 to 5.
- If a image were too small, or so close up as to be of little value,
- the C value would be small. If the image(s) were composed to be
- pleasing to look at, the number would be higher.
-
- The third number represents the Quality (Q) of the image(s).
- Quality numbers also range from 1 to 5. Blur, grain and poor dithering
- results in a lower value.
-
- Here are a few examples of how the NCQ is implemented:
-
- NCQ = 145 This is a VGA type file (256 colors / 64 shades BW)
- The Composition of the image is very good (4).
- The image Quality is EXCELLENT (5).
- However the Nasty factor is quite LOW (1).
- (Could be a nice image of your sister!)
-
- NCQ = S433 This is a SVGA type file (256 colors / 64 shades BW)
- Really NASTY!!! (4)
- The Quality and Composition is average!
-
- NCQ = E111 This file is a EGA (up to 16 colors) image(s).
- This file is a DUD!! Not Nasty, Poorly Composed,
- Very poor quality! This file will make a VERY BRIEF
- appearance on Naughty Bits! If you want it to add
- to your collection, better get it fast! Cause it
- won't be there long!

- If you find this rating useful, spread the word!
- If you like to comment on the system, or how a file is rated,
