Total score added up divided by the number of voters. |

| I heard something about a "votescrubber". What the heck is that? |

I've used the term, but I don't really know if there is one. What I'm pretty sure does happen is, at the end of voting all votes from voters who voted on less than 20% of the pictures are removed. What I've seen suggested (and I don't know how true it is or how accurate my memory is) is that there is also some kind of process or algorythm which goes through and removes any votes from a voter whose voting pattern is suspect (for example, they vote everything 1, or maybe everything but a handfull of shots 1). I do know that something happens, because on the freedom challenge the number of votes I had dropped by 6 after voting finished. It gave my score about a .04 point boost. (Yippeeeee! (-; ) On the flip side, at the end of Insects I lost one vote and my score dropped .02 points. (Boooooo! )-: )
As far as the term "vote scrubber", I honestly don't remember if that's the term I saw before, or if it was something that bubbled out of my fractured little mind.

On the Oops challenge, my points went up like .4 from low 5.9 to high 6.2 but didn't notice a change in vote count...

| It's not real obvious, since there's no total vote count like during the challenge. You have to add up the number of each vote on the graph. And, of course, keep track of how many votes you had shortly before voting ends. |
