Went from a 5.61x to a 5.51x with one vote. 26 votes to 27 votes. I'm guessing that was my 2 because I don't have the spreadsheet.

Well guess I was wrong, because it has now dropped below a 5! The harder I try, the worse it gets. Oh well, I like it, and that is all the matters.

Compared to the art challenge, this one is doing much better, and I expect it to rise closer to a six before it's over. Im praying anyway. This is my person goal.

Guess I'm doing ok at 5.90. Surely the 2 bandit will be hitting me soon as well.
06/01/2010 12:08:43 PM · #109
4.9, yep, nothing but zoo animals from me from now on...

I know everybody thinks and says this but I'm pretty confident that my image is at least a bit better than the score it is getting:

I was hoping to hang on to the 6.2 I had last night but no such luck - at 5.67xx now. :-(

I spoke too soon - 5.65xx now. Double :-(

I wonder if someone went through a challenge and just left 5's on everything, if the scrubber would remove those votes?

I seem to recall reading somewhere that the scrubber looks for a lack of variation in voting patterns as well as an excessive number of low votes. However, this was probably years ago, and my recollection may be inaccurate because of lousy memory or changes in the scrubbing algorithm.

In any case:

I put many hours into shooting and editing this one, so I was hoping for a better score than this, but thus far it's still my PB for a monthly free study, so all things considered, I'm happy with where I stand.

If we wait, maybe the 8, 9 and 10 trolls will come around.

Still falling 5.39 after starting 7.5...6.5....5.9....5.6....

The trolls are out. Painful but true this time round.

Wow. Knowing your entry, that certainly tells me the voting is brutal right now. I figured it for a high 5 at minimum. It's still early however and the voting does seem to run in trends.

Getting some low votes myself right now. Dropped to 5.80.

Wendy, I know how you feel, but reality has kicked in. After a fantastic start, mines sliding and sliding. Think I need to turn scores off and stop looking.

7.75 after 8? Sweet! If that many people found it spectacular, I would think you're bound to go up again!


Wow, I've gone from 7.75 to 6.4. I'll be 5.3 by 50 votes if this continues.

Going as expected and I still love the image!

Yup...They are out in force. I just wish someone would force them to comment if they leave anything 3 or lower. I seem to be taking hits and still have 0 comments!

Dropped .2 in the last 5 votes, and none of them were even trolls!

I forget how quickly scores change in the beginning of the challenge.

Remember..if in fact you have a high scoring image... a sore of 6 lowers your vote..and a score of 5 can do a lot of damage..it is the way a "Troll" gets away from being caught..

and as I write this.. I receive a "1"...lol

Yup! I do remember now, but it's always a surprise in the beginning.

I only think of 1s & 2s as trolls. I figure 3s might have a very good reason for the score, but I haven't seen too many shots worthy of a 1 or 2.
