Not complaining because I did receive a 6+ score I was hoping for and I don't know the breakdown. But .5831 is a LARGE difference between the two.
Here was my entry in the FS-04
Does that seem to be a big difference in vote avg between participating and non-participating voters? |

Scott,
It is quite a big difference, but look at this one.
Avg (all users): 5.8732
Avg (commenters): 6.2500
Avg (participants): 5.3846
Avg (non-participants): 6.1556
0.771 difference
I think these are much more interesting stats than the "old" ones. |

The sample sizes can be the cause of this difference. Based on your numbers, 34 voters were non participants and 114 were participants. With a sample size of only 34, the average can be greatly skewed by a small number of impressed voters. In other words, had just one of the 34 voters switched from a 10 to a 1, your non-participants average would drop to 6.4412.
Also, looking at the histogram, you have a nice normal distribution of votes which indicates fairness. Had there been a nefarious attempt to vote lower, you would see a bimodal distribution. |

| I believe it is very hard to not be extra critical while running in the same challenge. It is why I try to avoid voting in the challenges I enter. Even if I want to be 100% partial I don't think I can be because I'm human. I think those scores are showing the same thing. |

Actually Juliet, it's a smaller difference than Scott posted. 0.51 Edit to correct my maths!

The difference for mine was only .3, so I guess it wasnt standard?
Avg (all users): 6.3960
Avg (commenters): 6.5455
Avg (participants): 6.3153
Avg (non-participants): 6.6316
BTW I noticed that about only 10-20% of the votes were from non participants for me, so this could be a factor in why there is a variance.
