I understood that @ask is planning to move away from country or even continent zones anyway, see this thread. So we need to see whether he opts for tweaking the current country zone-based mechanisms before making those zones just aliases to the geolocation-based automatic matching system, or whether he’ll focus on the new approach right away.
Though some quick fix to avoid the starkest negative effects in the meantime, like with the Israel zone in this case, certainly wouldn’t hurt.
Yeah, that is kind of annoying, is independent of the zoning scheme, and hopefully gets fixed before the new approach is in place, see another example below:
All except one monitor scoring well above 10, majority of active ones even well above 19, but overall score at -99.9.(Though one could argue in this case that the server having been unreachable for several days in the recent past and another hiccup since then might make the scoring algorithm more cautious in restoring trust, but I don’t think that’s it, seeing all the other examples.)
