Hi all. I can't find any prior discussions of this so here it goes. I am always curious after the voting is over- how did my votes fall in with what actually placed good and mirror that- how did what I voted at mid to lower spectrum finish? It may be possible to just give a quantitive value for voting accuraccy. I guess there has been discussions of voting 'habits' and personal technique but I can't actually site any of them. Myself I usually vote with a limit of 3 [10's], 5 [9's]. I might not give out all 3/ 5 or the 10's and 9's but I would give more than that. I often time go back through the results to find my 10's and 9's and how they place. Its also nice to see one of my "8's " finish in the top ten too. I think it not only gives you an idea of how mainstream you tastes and opinions are but once a foundation is built it would give all a way to compare what they thought of an image compared to how the majority felt about it. It could even help each individual grow there sense of "what to submit" and have some idea that if they submit photos with the same taste and feallings that they are using to vote on others it will soon develope a feel for whats appriciated more by the majority. I'm thinking right now of the movie the Gladiator- win the mob and you'll be sucsesful.
PS this would probably need to be (or at least I think) a private statstisic that is only veiwable by each person.

There is an order by my vote option if that is what you are talking about- not really sure!
