No question, the second set of voters has been much harsher than the first set.

BUT let's do a little assessment of everyone's estimation skills. At first glance, what number below do you suppose is closest to the average of the last 47 voters to have dropped the score by that much (no using a calculator - just off the top of your head)?

4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, or 6?

It would take 40 at 5.7 and 40 at 6.7 to get 80 at 6.2, but you have more votes in the second set (47), so 47 @ 5.5 would have brought it lower than the current, so it has to be the 6.0

I would say 6...only because I did a similar assessment for the scores on my shot...

First 40 votes...7.0 average received
Next 45 votes...6.3 average received

Yep, all 3 of you are right. The average was about 5.9 for my last 47 votes.

So for all the folks who are talking about high 6 after 40 and low 6 after 80+, we're still not talking about "trolls" in the typical way people use the term. It's not like a zillion people dropped 1s on you.

This is all in DPCland, of course. What gets a 7 here typically gets much higher on other sites.

People keep talking about 'other sites.' What are these sites? I'm interested in ruining my life by becoming a member of all of them.

dailyawards.com is one - it's a little complex to figure out how it works, though.

eyefetch.com is another.

If you really want to feel like you have no talent at all, try Onexposure, where they have rejected 80% of my entries. LOL

Worth 1000 is another. Although they have weekly photo contests, the main topic of the site is photoshopping. The sort of stuff that is fun and WAY outside DPC editing rules. The also have illustration and writing contests there as well. I don't care for their system of earning, buying, begging, and paying points to participate, however. I prefer to just pay my subscription fee and play. I think it was a post on Worth1000 that originally led me here.

My score at 100 votes is 5.1818. But guess what, trolls, here are my stats -

You have rated 96 of 98 images (98%) in this challenge.
You have commented on 96 of 98 images (98%) in this challenge.
You have given an average score of 7.2604.

So I've just undone some of your evil work, so sucks to be you! Nyahh! And as for whomever I missed in commenting, my apologies, I'll comment after voting is done.
