I find no similar suggestion in a 5-10 minute thread search...please pardon if I've missed it.
Suggestion: Add a feature to the paying members' score update button that allows viewing of the last 5 scores given. It might look like this:
Where's Waldo? II
Votes: 175
Views: 245
Avg Vote: 5.2400
(6,4,4,5,5)
Comments: 2
where the last 5 scores given are shown as the 6,4,4,5,5.
I just think that latest scores are a common item of discussion and of great interest to complusive vote-watchers such as myself. (Not to mention the cost savings we could all realize in calculator-battery expenditures!) |

I would guess voters who comment might not necessarily want the photographer to know what score they gave. With that function it would be possible to tell.

| Hmm, hadn't really thought of that, although it's possible to tell with the current system with just a little math. One solution might be to substitute "C" for the number if there was a comment made, but again, doing so still doesn't prevent the score being determined. |

This is one reason I seldom comment while scoring. I like the anonymity of the scores, so I comment separately. Though I found out, not too long ago, that sometimes a low score comes in at the same time as my comment and people who are watching think its the one I gave them with the comment! So they get a nice comment (constructive of course) and a low score to go with it, and then they're mad at me.
Perhaps it would be possible to simply let us see the scoring histogram once a day (to minimize CPU impact)? That's really what's interesting: How many you got of each score.
Think of all the tracking and refreshing that would save people. (I stopped doing that long ago--it's interesting, but time consuming, and you find out in the end anyway.) |

I have a program running that I can update and loaded in my excel file. It tells me what the last vote was or if more than one vote comes in it will tell me the average. It also analyzes everyone on-line at the time [other than guest] so, it is not hard to see what vote was received.

Believe me it can be depressing seeing vote come rolling in. One challenge I was getting 5's, 6's, and 7's and the average was like 6.3+ then I updated and had like 4-2's and a couple of ones. So I don't even look at it any more [maybe sometimes]. I have even got where I cut off my votes/comments in my preference area so I will not get depressed. Because everyone is going to see each picture in different ways, so I have stopped trying to Analise why people vote the way they do. Everyone has their own method, I guess.

A histogram of scores that is purely graphic, and does not show the actual numbers of each score received (10 7's, 27 6's, 39 5's etc) would preserve anonymity and make for interesting viewing.

Have you figured out a way to make that proggy diferentiate between a new couple of new votes and a old ones changed at the same time?
Obsessive score checking and analysis plays into the hands, and mouths, of the so-called troll voters.

Sometimes you can know if its a bump-up or bump-down vote because the total # of votes don't change but the average does. If you receive 1 vote and it's not a whole number then yes I can. Other than that it's either an average of votes or a singe vote. But as I stated in my post below this quoted post:

It's not worth looking at votes anymore because they differ so much. I care about my score but don't keep up with it like I use too.

That's good news. :)
