Funny how no one ever questions the brown ribbons that have one or two tens or nines pegged to the score. It's a conspiracy.

Loved that description:
[Trolls] are often ugly, obnoxious creatures bent on mischief and wickedness.

*grin*

I've called those "faerie" votes in the past, which is ironic given who started this thread. :P

1. If you can't wait until the challenge closes at midnight so you can give out your 1's, 2's and 3's, YOU ARE A TROLL!
2. If you like to pick out photos that will probably rate a ribbon and give it a "1", YOU ARE A TROLL!
3. If a "3" is a high score to you, YOU ARE A TROLL!
4. If you secretly hope that DPC never publishes who voted what on a photo, YOU ARE A TROLL!
5. If you never vote during the daytime because the nighttime is when you do your best work, YOU ARE A TROLL!
6. If you never submit a photo to a challenge because you would have to give it a "1", YOU ARE A TROLL!

I am guessing this is why people become trolls.

As soon as everybody gets 8+ scores on challenges there will be thousands more of these threads.

Because there are far too many people with no concept of people being different than they are without attributing that difference to some wacky conspiracy theory.

On a related note, here's a fun way to pass time: as soon as a new challenge begins, rush in and quickly vote 1 on all entries. Then jump over to the "scores" thread for that challenge and watch the moaning and groaning. The next day change all your votes to 10 and go back to the scores thread and observe the ensuing confusion! You can just hear the calculators clacking away as people try to figure out all the possible scenarios that could have caused the change in their score. Leave the 10's until 2 hours before the end of the challenge and vote normally. :)
