I say we grab the torches, march on up to DPC headquarters and burn em. Burn em all!

edit: BTW - did you notice that your lowest percentage scoring shot is on the front page as a featured photo?

My day has been ruined. I now have the highest avg. score of my life,
3.560545454 and you will probably do away with that on April 2.
You had me going before you told me to check my calendar

Mine isn't my lowest percentage... but it is my lowest percentage without a comment.

It's been mentioned a few dozen times in various forums. ;)

Seems to be your second-lowest score, btw, not lowest percentage.

has everything gone back to normal now?

Funny, when I log out it shows better rated photos in the featured section including DeSousa's ribbon winning shot, "Love is... Flying into your arms".

I was just there and nobody was answering the door so I went home and called them and left a scathing, yet humorous voicemail.

Let that be a lesson. >:|

You can figure it out with a little math since it appears our profile stats aren't affected.


i'm actually considering doing a self dq on wot i reckoned was one of my best shots ... (altho i've often thought that on other entries and totally got it wrong .. but never this wrong ....!!!!!!!!)
this is the situation ...

from that score and that amount of votes i dont think its the april fool's joke? ... but just an entry that's totally bombing out??
i thought the average votes recieved on my profile page didnt change until the voting finished?? .. can someone tell me if the average ticks over while the voting's going on .. coz i've never noticed ... i'm trying to build that average and if this score is gonna affect it then i'll self dq, otherwise i dont care ..

Yes, it's still a joke score.

Yes, a few weeks ago your average score in your profile started being real-time. It's updated every time someone votes.

But I wouldn't believe anything until tomorrow.

Mine has changed already. Poster states he/she is having to go back through 500+ entries to change the vote.

You all don't understand; the challenge was to photograph a small, semi-private room which can be used without payment of rent, or a private university which charges no tuition or fees. How many of the photos are of those? ; )

(Hint: Not mine)

Ok...I get the April Fool's joke...big laugh...ha ha ha... But, is this affecting the other challenges as well? My image in a different challenge (not free study) has been dropping like a rock all day? It was up over 7 yesterday...and now it's down to 6.2? Is this possible? Just wondering, this is my first challenge...I thought it might be too good to be true...
04/01/2007 07:41:46 PM · #117
OK- I was upset at first too. I guess I will have to wait until tomorrow to see how I really stand. I do not have a 3.5 photo. Maybe on the present scoring system, one is considered good and ten bad. I wonder if people are actually voting that way.

I'm right there with you sister Roz :o

I think that the formula that the site is using today only is 10-actual score...
Looking forward to seeing my true score tonight.

(And the dnmc 1 comment will magically dissapear, I hope)
04/01/2007 08:52:05 PM · #122
What's up with this?
Mine is in the threes to and it's not a bad shot.
I also recieved the DNMC 1 comment.

I sure hope not, otherwise my shot is doing poorly. It has been suggested that it's displayed score +2. That makes sense with the 1st few votes I received before The Evil Ones started this.

I am still recovering from yesterdays Sydney GTG, and feel completely at a loss to the scores for Marches Free Study.
Gee, I wish the 1st of April would end soon and that we all get back to doing what we do best.
I am not voting and commenting on the Free Study until it gets all sorted out, and quite out of sorts about whats going on here.

OK it may be a joke, but gee it a long one, as it has been going on now for such a long time here in Australia, as we so far ahead of you here, re the time factor.

I can't wait until 2pm here as that will be midnight there in America..... and hopefully all things revealed.
