Well it's finally happened,, after all my efforts at (( shooting for a 5)))
I went to bed last night with a 6.2+ on my past shot and woke up w/ a 5.1..aaaaarghhhhhh
Now I know how the rest of you feel.. dang It was the first time I ever saw a 6 associated w/ something of mine and I was doing a reserved but exhuberant happy dance around the computer!
Ah well,, early days and I'm sure the low scores are because everyone was cranky w/ the site being down.
And now EVERYONE will go back and redo their votes.... right????
Back to my happy place.... 6 6 6 6 7 7 7 8 8 8 8 9 9 10 10 10 10 10

Has this happened to everyone? I started Past at 7.4, now looks like I might just scrape into the 6's. Just.

I've been stuck at 6.5 for two days... the vote count unchanged... I'm waiting for a correction to 5 |

Same happened to me, but thats normal. I think the server crashing at the point it did made us think our scores were more permanent tho :P

the same thing that happens EVERY week! Start high, bottom drops out, and you rise ever so slightly by the time the week is done.

I completely agree. I always give the 10s a comment, but I sometimes struggle to give a comment to the 1s because I can't find any merit or a nice way to say, "What the hell were you thinking?"
If I can find a delicate way, I do try most of the time...

I also find it hard to comment on 1s. Normally i dont bother becuase i don't want to upset the person. As much as people say they want comments from people who vote 1, i think in reality they would be quite upset about it, and would rather blame the 1 on a troll voter.

this always happens. the scores early on are often totally not where they are going to end up .. often much higher at the beginning, but occasionally lower ...
that's why i don't even really pay attention to them until i'm up to about 60 or so votes. that's more like where it's really going to end up because there's a large enough sample size by then for it to have some stability.
easier said than done, i know :)

I happen to notice that your average vote cast was:
"Avg Vote Cast: 4.8038"
Maybe you have to give in order to receive?
Just trying to be a little more humorous and see the bright side of this :)

Seems whatever you do on this sýte is never enough, either people have completely rotten taste or we are all morons at the art of photography, either way it's tough on the old photo ego. Oh well better luck next time old chaps!

If 5 is average 4.8 is about right |
