I guess the "I give at least 5 points people" must be a minority! ;o)
Right now I've dropped to around 4.89
Seems like a lot of people don't have the same humor as I do or I should perhaps have given my pic a different title. Or perhaps my idea wasn't expressed as clear as I thought. But we're here to learn, aren't we?
Anyway, I like the shot, hehe. And I enjoy the positive comments. |

What's the record for most number of 1 and 10 votes on the same pic?
I think mine's heading that way :) |

That's an interesting question. I bet the admins. could calc. that easily.
In the Off Center challenge I finished 4th and out of the top 10 mine was the only one with any ones. Not a complaint just an observation; I'm rather pleased actually, as I would have been happy receiving my normal scores in the low 5s.

| Where can you see how many 1's or 10's or whatever scores you got? In an ongoing contest of course. |

You can't, but if you're really mathematical you can work out what your last vote recieved was by comparing your new score to your old score and taking into account the number of votes etc etc. I dunno exactly how but I'm sure someone can enlighten us...

You can't. Have to wait till voting is over.

I don't understand how you can get a lot of 1 and 10. I only give a 1 if the picture doesn't met the challenge and is very bad. How do these people vote? How can a photo that is very good with a lot of 10 get a 1? |

Good question indeed. But since this site is about, and now don't get me wrong!, amateur photography, the voting too has to be considered amateurish.
There are some obvious pictures that nearly everybody likes and therefore get good scores. But there may be other shots that are more artistic or special that a lot of people can't connect to or don't understand and therefore those get a lower score. So the voting is relative ...
I only give 1's if the picture is completely off-topic in my eyes. |

It's pretty easy to caluclate how much you got for your last score.
For example, in my case I had 6.1604 with 268 votes
Thats a total of 6.1604 x 268 = 1651 pts
My next score was 6.1636 with 269 votes or put another way
6.1636 x 269 = 1658
So if my mathematics are correct, the difference is 1658 - 1651
So my last score was a 7.
I've done this a couple of times and come up with 10, 1, 3, 7, 8, 9, 6, 5 are my last few votes (Now I just need a 2 and a 4 to get the whole set !!)
Odd voting pattern don't you think :) They're right across the board for me

Multiply your last score by the number of voters. Then by trial and error work it backwards to figure out you latest vote. Say you had 10 votes and an average vote of 8. That would equal 80. If someone then gave you a 1 your score would drop to 7.3636. 2...7.4545...3....7.5455............8.....8.0000

Some people really have too much time on their hands.
Get out and start taking photos!
By the way, I've noticed that the term 'picture' is never used on this site. I don't have any real objection to it, so why isn't it used?
ps My own scores have been tumbling from 4.94 to 4.83 steadily all week. It's a valid score. |

BTW, this won't always work, it can get thrown off if someone changes a previous vote. You won't know, since the vote total does not change.

My own score has been rising a bit since I got a DQ request validated. Wish that would have happened earlier in the voting cycle. :)

everybody has exactly the same amount of time on their hands, people just use their time in different ways... |

I use it sometimes, particularly if a sentence uses the term twice. I also use the term image. I think people subconsciously associate "taking pictures" to snapshots, a term which also has a negative connotation in the world of Art Photography.
"Picture" may be harder for some folks to type. "Pics" is a nice shorthand without some of the emotional baggage of the full term which I use in more personal communications, but don't confuse it with the PICT file format .... |

This really made me laugh generalE. I like the term picture and it's shortened pic, better than photograph and photo but I don't use it since people take offense to it. I love the word image. It's great. |

Shhhh! Don't upset them with facts. They just assume that the whole world follows along with what we do ....
I think (or it's a longstanding rumor)one of the state legislatures (South Carolina?) once tried to set the legal value of Pi to exactly 3. |
