If I voted every single photo in a challenge a ten, would my votes be filtered & discarded?

Yup.

But it wouldn't harm anyone, just move everyone's scores up equally (well, not mine). Or is my math off?

I had suspected something simillar to this:

(this is sour grapes)

Someone wants their photo to do better so they give everyone else a 1.
Then, in a challenge not entered, they give everyone a 10 so as to balance the "average score given" stat in their profile.

I just can't fathom some pictures I have seen (including my own) deserving of a 1. (sour grapes)

go on slippy, just give me a 10 - it will make up for being " ripped off in the voting" for dairy ;)

Well, I don't feel that badly for you, YOU still got a good score, and YOU didn't have to spend half an hour in the shower scrubbing chocolate out of your hair, and YOU didn't have burning eyeballs for the rest of the night, and YOU didn't spend the following three days Q-tipping chocolate out of your ears, and YOU didn't get in trouble with your wife for getting chocolate all over the bathroom sink, bathtub, & shower walls.

:-D

I'm so bitter, but the chocolate was semi-sweet.

Does'nt your wife like chocolate? Seems like getting it off would be the funnest part.

Getting the chocolate off that is. ;-P

Why don't you just use it yourself? At every challenge! Barn challenge = chocolate covered barn. Or you in chocolate in fron of a barn. High contrast= Dark dhococlate on white!

I'm not 100% sure that is the case.
I have voted on all images in the "Best of 2004" Challenge and voted everybody a 10.
These votes have been counted. I know because they show up when I open a picture of this challenge (the red line on the grade you voted)
If your votes havent been counted this red line will not appear...

Guilty. Yet so innocent.

So then back to the original thought....

Does'nt it all just come out in the wash? After all we only have just 1 vote and percentage wise, 1 vote does not change much. (Except at 12:01 when the callenge opens)
