I can only speak for myself of course, but my votes are strictly based on the entry itself and whether or not I am in the challenge has no bearing on it. |

| i know it's bad of me and i hate that it even entered my head. i was just a bit disappointed in one of the challenges where someone made a 'nice' comment and then scored me a 4. i know it was their vote because the view only increased by one as well as the vote count. i just happened to catch it by chance, but it really threw me. i figured anyone leaving a low score would leave a comment reflecting that or no comment at all (which is mostly the case), not leave a nice comment. |

It could have been someone who already voted commenting at the same time the new vote came in. There's no way to connect votes to comments. |

| I quite often vote first, comment later, which means if someone else votes while I'm commenting, it might appear that was my vote. For this challenge, I've decided to just look - and leave a few comments here and there with no vote. It's not that I vote lower if I'm not doing well - the opposite happens to be true in my case - I tend to be very generous when my score is tanking. What you don't want is for me to vote in a challenge I'm not in. I'm brutal then. :-) |

then the view would have changed 2. one for the view of the voter of '4' and one for the person coming back to comment.
i make most of my comments after i finish voting as well.
melethia, please inform me which challenges you don't intend to enter ahead of time. :D |

| For what it's worth: I too vote generously, when I vote (dial-up is a real pain), in a challenge where my entry is definitely (often) unstellar. If I have great hopes (I used to) I usually don't vote. |

No worries - I very rarely vote in challenges I don't enter. :-) |

In the last 24 hours I have dropped from 7.1 down to 6.09 and only 1 comment. What gives?

| Noticing a trend of dropping score and no comments as well...72 votes, 1 comment and it's dropping like a stone! |

This is awful... |

Which part of me do I have to sell to hold a 7 until Tuesday? Ritual sacrifice, organ sales, obligatory left leg, lots of praying (and/or voodoo) and sale of soul all considered.

I'm not entirely happy with my shot but it's going ok considering I've never tried this editing before (and my previous free study scores).
Hope it stays above 6

I was all the way up to a 6 and then fell to this. Oh well, I'm still happy :D. It's been a long time since I had a score above 5. Yay!! |
