I could have sworn last night that the top three results were like this:

1st: Fearless
2nd: Devil Inside
3rd: The Fear of Commitment

If I have not gone crazy, it appears the 2nd and 3rd place entries have swapped? Does anyone else notice this?

I noticed that too...

I can't tell if any of the scores changed... but perhaps more voting irregulaties were found and some votes were thrown out?

I was going to mention this in a thread but I didn't want to rock the boat. I'm glad you mentioned it because I noticed it last night too. Devil Inside was #2.

We forgot to run the vote monitoring system before we calculated the votes last night, and we chose to run it this morning for consistency's sake. We are working to make the process automated. Sorry for any confusion...

Well what kind of excuse is that? :)

I know you work hard, Drew, and I won't give you a hard time on everything. I was just trying to make sure I was not going crazy.

I was thinking the same thing this morning ... granted i checked it late (errr 2 in the morning after a night of clubbing - but i didnt have anything to drink - was just tired) .. anyways ....

Yeah i went from 7 to 9th .. but I'm still happy - thanks to everyone who voted and helped that :) This was my best placement yet!

Could somebody please explain what this "vote monitoring system" is, and why it changes the results?

From the site rules: "Voting patterns are also autmatically monitored. Users whose vote patterns suggest an intent to unfairly disrupt the system will have their votes ignored. "

VMS (vote monitoring system) is what marks these (very few) individuals' votes to be ignored. It is usually run approx. 5 minutes before the end of a challenge, so users will often see their vote counts and averages slightly jump.

So, does it ignore all their votes or just the highs & lows?
