"Don't forget, this is a bigtime free study yet open to the votes of the unwashed masses."
There is nothing wild or unfounded about the quoted comment.
It *IS* a bigtime free study, right?
It *IS* open to non-members unlike other free studies, right?
So there is nothing to "read into" what I typed OR ignore about a purely factual statement.
as for "Should prove interesting with people maybe voting stuff down that's better than theirs." -- that is of course, speculation and a completely redundant comment on your part since I clearly said "MAYBE" which shows that. But certainly nothing "wild" or "unfounded" except in your attitude.
Get a life, dude.

Why is it the scores always seem to go down so much easier than they go back up?
Started the day over six and its been a slow and painful slide since then. Got 6 comments already though which is nice and I'm leaving more than usual too.

There IS something to read into your derogatory statement equating "non-members" to "un-washed masses"... and calling it a "factual statement"

I think this is the fastest my score has fallen on a challenge. Last night with 45 votes it was at 6.9, woke up this AM with it being 5.8 and it's been falling steadily ever since. I've been getting a lot of 1's which implies they didn't like the subject matter (because technically it is almost perfect). :) |

There was a lot of wild, unfounded speculation back in the DPL days that many voters were intentionally lowballing -- but that doesn't mean it didn't happen. :-)

I'm with you, Moose, though mine went from 6.6 to 5.4. Mine's not technically perfect, but it ain't bad. On the other hand, it may be soulless. :-D |

How can you tell you are getting 1's? Where can I see what individual scores I am getting. |

What a nit to pick... It's a pretty common, non-offensive phrase referring to the general public. You need to get out more. |

I knew from the beginning this pic wouldn't be consensual, but it's one of the photos I'm really proud of! Glad I entered it anyway. And the comments made my day :)

Oof, working on recovering from a 2 vote. (Must have been one of those unwashed masses...)
Do we have an award on DPC for "Boob of the year"? ;) |

I was referring more to the overall comment:

The very obvious implication is that you believe registered users are prone to voting unfairly. Yes, it's a big free study, and yes, it's open to all voters, but it's also no different than any other open challenge. If anything, this challenge has brought in past DPCers who have let their membership lapse, and starry-eyed newbies who may be more easily impressed by photos that are cliché to the regulars. Some voters will be more critical of what is represented as our "best," while some will have more appreciation for personal attachment and subtle meaning due to the special nature of this particular topic. This challenge is literally unlike any other- almost a total wild card, and even the suggestion that scores may suffer merely because the voters aren't "members of the club" *IS* wild, unfounded speculation.

You're wrong there about it being wild and unfounded, but what's new. I appreciate your explanation as well and thank you for offering it. But he quoted the first part, saying "WTF" to which you replied.
Next time be more clear. |

I'm certainly very happy with this!
Not that I wouldn't be happier with a 6+. Come on people, go bump your 5s and 6s ;D |

ouch! 5 votes with an average of 2.4--the trolls are out!
(it's not the best photo, but I'd been at 5.7 until then)
edited to add:
teheh, I'll leave my post in so people can see my stupidity! I pasted the average into the wrong spreadsheet--my 100 year old has 100 votes, my 1000th challenge has 104, no trolls around--just one 4 vote:)
