this thread is neither, its an attempt to sway the voting patterns of others. if that's not against the TOS, it should be.

"Average" is a synonym for arithmetic mean - which is the value obtained by dividing the sum of a set of quantities by the number of quantities in the set. An example is (3 + 4 + 5) ÷ 3 = 4. The average or mean is 4.

This has nothing to do with how an image ranks on an aesthetic scale. If you really wanted to use math to evaluate images by their scores, probably "mode" would be the best way to do so, as it is the most common value in a set.

Mike, that's not reasonable. It's actually useful to have people discussing how and why they score images, it opens a few eyes to possibilities they'd never considered before I bet.

I caught it this time before it was removed and there are valid points, its just an opinion and a valid one.

Stick to your guns :-D that's aimed at Klkitchens and not the other opinion.

i agree, however we dont have that going on. its not like the other threads where someone asks the group how they vote and a discussion ensure. the intent of this thread was to get people to vote differently, in order to increase the scoring average.

And thanks for proving my point as you being an incorrect voter.

Please stop telling people they are "wrong" or "voting incorrectly" -- you are not representing the view of the site, and you are not authorized to do so even if it was.

You can express your opinion about how you vote -- that's all. How others vote is up to them, and it will be considered "valid" by the site as long as they vote consistently.

Anyway, back into my hole. I saw my shadow created by the darkness.

Thread locked, it's irrelevant now.
