Let's say you have a score of a 3.0 on a photo you entered, and there has been oh, lets say 30 voters. Then you click the update button and see that three more votes came in, but you are still showing a 3.0. What does that mean vote wise? I don't understand why it didn't move the score at all, even by a slight percent?
The only thing I can think of is that the last 4 voters voted the same number. Would that be correct?

Could mean the 3 people each gave a 3, keeping the average at 3.0, or 1 person gave it a 4 and another gave it a 5 and the other gave it a 3.
The score reflected is only an average based on total tally divided by number of votes. |

Thanks BradP. I kind of figured thats what may be happening. I just thought it was a little odd or coincidental, but thanks for taking the time to answer.
OH, and rex, take a look around DPC at the threads. You will find that a TON of people worry about their scores. For EVERY challenge, at roll over time, and for challenges present and yet to be. So to answer your question? CERTAINLY they do. Worry? Not sure that is the correct term though, just extremely interested.
