definitely in the 4s since the get go and staying steadily there. having gone through and voted, i found it hard to find many that could possibly score less than 6 and had many 8s 9s and even a rare (for me) 10. there are some harsh scorers out there!

on the other hand, having seen the amazing photos in this challenge, i am humbled and feel deserving of my low score. it's all about improving and learning.

and after all, i wouldn't have entered it if i didn't like it myself. still do, regardless of the score!

It droppped so far in such little time that I actually thought of Aprils Fools scoring but who knows at this point. I hope it is because I didn't think this picture was all THAT bad.


Mine was 7.4 at 12 CDT and 4.7 this morning? What is wrong?

I hope this is a joke. I don't think it's funny, but I hope it's a joke. I thought that this was the best photo I've ever taken - 4.4 after 70 votes.

I was sober!? I think :-)

Just got hit with another 1. I guess your little PEP talk didn't work Drew. Some voters just insist on being a$$h0l@$. WTF

I guess, I am once of you also. My score dropped from 5.6 to 4.3 on Motion Blur during 6 night hours. I am not a greatest photograph or even a good one, but it does not make to much sence to me either.

Same happened to my Free Study challenge.

Lets hope that this is just a begining and things will get better( or at least comments will get written).

I work & play from home, so I'm on the puter day & night (in case ya haven't noticed)
I've seen the same amount of 1's go through on both the Out of Place & march free study entries between late last night & now.....coinkidink?

May as well just hold on till tomorrow & see if it's all a bad joke.

After looking at my entry for an entire month (took on on March 2nd), I have been pulling my hair tweeking this and adjusting that. The more I looked at it, the less I liked it. A month ago, I thought it was spectacular, now I see so many flaws it makes my skin crawl. I really had no idea what to expect.

Currently, I am sitting at 4.5 and hearing all of you sitting in the same boat, I am feeling better. Then again, these pranksters may be hitting all the good photos with 1's and all the crappy photos with 10's. In which case, my 4.5 way just be horrible afterall!!!

Either way, I hope this stops soon.

Can't wait to see the REAL scores.

I won't be around tomorrow so could this fooling around please end today? Pretty please?
04/01/2004 01:53:16 PM · #66
I hate to keep ranting about this but my crappy Out of Place picture only went down about .2 in approx. the same amount of votes that my Motion Blur went down about 0.5. Obviously they are not attacking the 'not so great' pictures with the same brutality.

My free study submission this month is truly a Work of Unearthly Genius, so a score of just over 4.6 simply does not compute. If it doesn't go up soon I think I'll just hit the bottle and go yell at everyone who even dares doubt me or my work.

Bloody peasants!

04/01/2004 02:11:09 PM · #68
OH LOOK! Another 1 in both challenges again... Out of place just lost it's grip on 5 :(
04/01/2004 02:14:30 PM · #69
Mine both went down even more, too.
04/01/2004 02:15:08 PM · #70
My March one went from 6.4 to 4.7 with 2 comments :) but it could be that overnight people hated my images.

The motion one went from 6.2 to 5.7 overnight as well, from 70 votes to 145 votes overnight.. that's weird... unless overwhelming overseas people voted :-)

I hate to spoil your party, but me and 107 others from DCP agreed some time ago to plan a April Fools joke on the rest of the submitters.

However, it appears it is not going to plan and you have all got it the wrong way round.

We have been giving you all 10's, so if anything your score will plummet further tomorrow morning when we re-adjust the scores.

Now wouldn't that be funny (if only it were true..)

04/01/2004 02:19:15 PM · #72
What's really funny (well not exactly) is that now my score is dropping without additional votes. I think we've started a voting war. People going back over higher scores they've given in retaliation maybe.

If you follow a full day around the world it adds up to 48 hours. So half a day around the world is still 24 hrs.

If it is a joke and the troll filter catches it, we will all jump up half a point at the end. And if it is applied equally to all, it does not matter anyway.

Trying to stay positive ..... arghhhhhHH!!!!! Another hit!!!

Man, you guys are waaaay too much into conspiracies. Crap is crap. Accept your scores and move on.
