jumped about 1.5 at rollover. Still wonder what wierd computation they were using pre-rollover...

I believe my picture is too kitsch. And underappreciated. ;)

I really think this may of happened. If so I hope we see scores go up as they change the votes

What if some voters got caught up in the April fools joke and voted low yesterday with intentions of changing their vote later and they forget too...

I liked my pre-rollover score better. I had three good possibilities in mind :-)

Post rollover - ouch

Still, I didnt mind the april fools joke. Saying that this incident caused you to lose faith in the voting system is just overboard.

If you voted mad yesterday, I suggest you go look things over again. :)

Like I mentioned a few posts back, I get the impression that people voted while grumpy. A lot of people had their knickers in a twist over it, and it probably had a negative effect on the legitimate votes.


That's probably true which would be very unfortunate because I doubt everyone would go back and change it. People don't vote on 100% in the challenges so voting twice on the same images is probably too much to expect.

Well, it gives all of us a good excuse for our lower than deserved scores in the end. It's not my picture, no, no, it's the angry voters. :)

Neener! Of course my streak is only at 2 right now so maybe I should just keep my mouth shut.

I still have that dreaded DNMC comment, and the 1 vote, on my Free Study


I think that was a member who did that as their own joke and has nothing to do with the admins or so I've heard.

It was a member, but they have promised to go back to every shot and revote/comment

I caught the culprit before he changed his vote to be annonymous. I had sent him a PM as soon as I saw his comment. If my memory serves me correctly, it was raish

I preferred yesterday's score of 3.7, at least that was funny :¬(

Okay, I've read through most of this, and am about to go on a mini-rant so if you want to skip this post please do.

Guess what?? !

A lot of people think this is funny. I am not bothered by it personally. But I can understand why other people would be! God didn't make us all with our senses of humor the same. And you can say, "hey, I think you should lighten up, it's just a joke" but I'm getting the sense that some people feel that anyone who doesn't appreciate the joke is just horrible, which isn't true. (And yes, I do acknowledge that some people are probably overreacting negatively to the joke as well.)

I guess he's confessed :) Please forget my intrusion/edit.

Thanks. Because creationism was such a central point of my argument.
