Did you notice how few 1's were given to the top 10 (just 1) or even top 20 (5 in total) images of the motion blur challenge ?

Now that is a good development.

I have the feeling that the member challenges have less 1s in general than the non-member challengs. I could be wrong.. haven't taken a full sample.. but it's something I notice with my own images. Someone in another thread suggested that maybe non-member challenges attract a few people who vote low out of jealousy - using a different e-mail address and never entering an actual photo. I don't know if this is true, or even possible... but it would make sense that paying members have a slightly different voting mentality.

An interesting statistic to know would be what percentile of votes in a Member challenge get voided by the Admins as compared to an Open challenge.

I think very few in general get voided these days. In the distant past, it was not unusual to get a "jump" of +0.05 to +0.07 after the "vote scrubber" did it's work. By contrast, in the Motion Blur challenge, there was no perceptible jump for me. I've noticed recently it is uncommon to get more than +0.02 from the scrubber.
Anyone else have experiences that corroborate (or refute) my observations?
