Unbelievable! 3 minutes to rollover! Will this keep the 6 mark?

We must have now very mean spirited voters. In a Free Study (!) I have received three 2s, six 3s and eleven 4s. Usually the scores between 1 and 4 are for bad to poor images. Is my image really so bad for 20 voters?? While I am a relative newbie (8 months on DPC) I have been quite active on the site and thought I understand the voting and accept occasional trolls. But this is particularly disappointing. I can understand now why nightpixels asked langdon to fix the average score system so that his images cannot be identified and attract low hate/envy votes. But what about those who want to have own style which makes their images easily identifiable? I am a bit lost on this. And did I mention annoyed!!?

You ended up with one 1, two 2s, three 3s, and four 9s. Not nearly as bad as you thought!

Why is my score still dropping after rollover?

Because you're special?? Is it really still changing?

Yes, but it appears to be my abandoned score overflowing with sub-zero votes. It rolls down hill.

You are better at math than me! :)
PS I didn't know I had a 1! I have to ask Niall how to read his charts.

I'm VERY happy the moving average doesn't move during voting anymore! I can be completely oblivious to my scores that way.

It's nice, isn't it. I never have scores turned on, so if I want some sort of idea I'll reluctantly glance at my average. The fact that that doesn't move anymore is a nice relief. I see that as a feature, not a bug. Average score shouldn't move until completion of a challenge.

Ignorance is bliss.

Heh. You're probably doing it right. There is a small bug in displaying the histogram in my program though. Maybe that's what threw you.

Also my program can't guess who changed their votes so it guesses. Might miss out on some votes too so there is some uncertainty associated with the votes you estimate. No matter the means.

...plus the scrubbing of votes from voters that hadn't reached 20%.
