I may switch to a karma system I designed on another site. The "highest rated" just doesn't work all that well.
Basically, your votes would be on a karma scale, being positive or negative. So a 1-star or 2-star might be a -2 and a -1, where a 3-star is a 0, 4-star is +1, and 5-star is +2. Then all maps start at 0(N) (which is basically neutral but a large weighting).
This makes it so that a map that has many more ratings can rank much higher than a map with fewer, but higher scoring ratings.
