I was serious afraid of investing into any projects after seeing some icos rated high by some of the knowing rating sites and at the end some of them turned out to be sit or scam projects. I have to seat down and analyzed each project that I want to invest in myself instead of depending on rating sites.
Yes, definitely you can be rely on your self by your analysis and judgement prior investing, ICO ratings is just a guide and came from speculations and some are making survey but still at the end all are came by surprise since there are high rated ICO but the result is not successful, everything is unpredictable. That is why sometimes I can say that investment is through timing and luck.
Topic: How trustworthy are ico rating sites? - page 2. (Read 1378 times)
It is better to rely on your intuition after conduction a thorough research about the project you want to invest in and you are sure it is worth investing in. Even though some projects are rated wrongly, ico rating sometime act as a guide because some of the ratings are actually worth it at the end while some otherwise. That is why it is not good to depend only on ico rating but also do your own research.

Don't trust the ICO rating sites because most of them were paid sites so even scam sites can get into a better rank by paying the site owners so this is not that much trustworth in my opinion so if you want to invest on bounty you need to have the knowledge about the crypto currencies and the evaluating the upcoming project and its potential.

A lot of them are paid. Only trust your own judgement.
Several of them are. Some aren't, such as icoalert.com.
There are many sites that list ICOs and token sales. However, they are a subset of the list on Bitcointalk.org's Announcement (Altcoins) page, for the following reasons:
- Not all of the project teams will know about all of the ICO sites, but they all know about and will announce on Bitcointalk.org's Announcement (Altcoins) page
- Not all of the projects will pay to get listed on these ICO sites
However, Bitcointalk.org's Announcement (Altcoins) sorts the announcements based on which ones had the most recent comments. Therefore, on the first page, you'll see announcements that were originally posted months ago and even announcements whose token sales have ended.
To find the most recent announcements, go to Bitcointalk's advanced search page and enter:
- ANN in the "Search for:" field
- Change the "Between 0 and 9999 days" field
- Under "Choose a board to search in, or search all", uncheck "Check all". Then click on + to expand the list and check only "Announcements (Altcoins)"
- Click Search
This will show the announcements for the days that you selected.

Best way to judge is look at past reviews from review sites and see what % are they accurate on.
ICO rating sites are totally bullshit. Don't trust them. 
ICO rating sites are usually referral schemes that only want you to click their referral link to get commission when you invest into to ICO.
They aren't. They are just pure fabrication of money. ICO projects pay them to list them higher. Pure example of such thing is icobench.com. But there are some trustworthy sites as well.
Sadly i am assuming that most of the websites receive some sort of payment for thier review, it's no coincidence that the ICO's rated highly are involved in heavy marketing budgets.
Best thing to do is to judge them yourselves and work from there.

Some are doing a great job overseeing ICO teams, but how do we prevent collusion?

There are some who oversee ICO that are ligitimate because,is in their policy that they don't advertise ICO that are not legit. But for others who there prime motive is to make profit not minding the people who visit their site, they end up advertising both legitimate and illegal business. Just asking

Before ico is done, they already have an organizational structure, and have their respective roles in the field ..
and they are experts in their field,
so,,not supervised

nobody creates a website for no reason and "just to help" others. they have some motivation that they have created that website.
it can simply be to get some traffic and earn money through the advertisement (which is mostly the case in crypto related websites) and in that case they don't usually care about the content and they post anything just to get that traffic. see the news sites and their click-baits for examples.
or it can be because they want to have the power to even hype something they have invested in. and in that case they may falsely praise and advertise something more than others just because they have an investment in it.

Good question. I tend to think the two linked below are pretty trustworthy. I've been following them for months and their calls have been quite accurate.

Here's an example of one I wouldn't find trustworthy. They give various projects a platinum rating but apparently that rating is just paid marketing. They admit to it in the comments on this ico: https://www.coinschedule.com/projects/1199/monkey-capital-ico.html
In the end you need to be careful whose opinion you trust when it comes to investing money and always do your own research.
