Looks like someone just 1'd everybody.

It's more than just 1 bombers

Oh no, real voters!
I haven't voted, so don't blame me just yet.

Absolute score changes, which we've argued about before, but rankings do not. So for the purposes of the challenge, the results are unchanged unless they missed some people in voting.

Side note: Many challenges ago I only voted using either 1 or 10, wanted to see if the votes got scrubbed, they did not. Did it for four or five challenges in a row, they all remained. By the way, that's a completely valid methodology of voting before anyone complains.

I'm sure I don't know anything valid. However, there used to be a pattern voting detection algorithm. My understanding is that voting in a pattern is not allowed and the votes should be scrubbed. Of course, this might not be automatic. It may requre a human to observe the pattern voting and take scrubbing type action.

From a human standpoint, I think it is disingenuous to vote in an extremely bipolar manner. Certainly, a rational person would not ever believe that images are either 10s or 1s. There's no rule against being irrational, but the votes of such a person should be removed as those votes punish and reward in an unbalanced way. In other words, pattern voting disrupts challenge results. I feel the same way about casting a vote of 5 on all images. Same kind of pattern voting.

And may you tell us how you know for sure your votes didn't get scrubbed?

It didn't scrub results but I think it could. With a 1 you could lose up to 0.1 in challenges with few voters (not an accurate statistic, but you know what I mean) and an oscillation between 1 and 10 is significant.

I agree, I only did it for about a week. Pretty sure I was on vacation in the Bahamas. Curiosity was piqued if it would go through or not. I just checked and those votes are still showing up. There was discussion in one of the scoring threads and I just had to know. My understanding is that if votes are scrubbed, you can't see your vote anymore.

Define unbalanced? It's completely valid and if someone wanted to vote in that manner, I would defend them because mathematically it still works out.

I've referenced the book Gaming The Vote many times; it's a worthwhile read. Essentially the system at DPC, with a sliding scale, is the fairest of them all regardless of the actions of an individual voters.

Sure it is. Get more voters to rectify the situation, not punish the voter. The onus of satisfying the central limit theorem shouldn't be with the voter.

For some reason this discussion is making my score go down and down and down. I hope the voters aren't trying new ideas to test the scrubber.
