just a odd observation. two of my commentors gave my photo a 10. but the total number of 10s is just one. they made have made a mistake but i'm just wondering if during calculation of scores, votes are adjuted or some type of average is made?

Or one of those voters didn't vote the manditory 20% to get their votes counted.

well thas one confirmation. if RonBeam confirms, then I wonder why it would only be one 10? i also noticed my score suddenly jumped from a 5.3 to a 5.5 during the "calculation of scores" time.

or they changed their vote
or lied
or gave everyone 10s and their irregular voting pattern was kicked out.

I got no 10s, so you're still ahead of me!

My score almost always jumps by that amount..but not this time, unfortunately. I missed a new top 4 by .04!

Possibillities include:

- One of the users adjusted their score downward and forgot to change their comment
- One of the users had an irregular voting pattern and was "flagged" by the automated vote-monitoring (unlikely)
- One of the users did not vote on 20% of the entries
