what does everyone mean by scores going up at the rollover? still kinda new :)
04/24/2007 05:59:35 PM · #202
Votes often get dropped at rollover due to the voter not making the twenty percent. It can change your score either positively or negatively. There can also be votes dropped if the computer detects improper voting...usually means low votes are dropped.

At rollover, the scores go through the "vote scubber" which scrubs out all the false voting patterns (e.g. if someone votes all 1's on every single entry as an example).

Usually, the scores change slightly which in this challenge would be beneficial.

Hope that helps? Someone else may have a more indepth explanation...

thanks guys, ive been noticing people saying that for days, and had no clue what it meant. :)

It usually doesn't affect your vote a whole lot and you can actually go down, so it's a crapshoot. This time though I am expecting a large boost. We'll see if it happens. I'll post my score at 8:59PM PDT.

Well, either up or down...it's a glass we all have to drink...

So, may your glass be filled with Champagne tonight, and I look forward to seeing all of your photos place well!

Cheers, Everyone!

Well, I've been hovering at 4.97 - 4.98 for days now, and when I log in just now? 5.0000. I'd like to be above 5! Or at least at it!

Fingers crossed for the arbitrary and meaningless boundary!

yep...way to go...Smiling quietly...


But there are probably a couple of sleepers playing it close to the chest, and surprise everyone...


You sittin' on a 7 there hywind? Don't get bummed if it doesn't ribbon. This is going to be like Wildlife where my 7.59 came in 4th.

But maybe yer sittin' on a high 7. That would be some sweet action for you.


I wish I'm just stocked at having a new personal best..... INHO some where on the 2nd page would be nice..

My image started with a one vote...and has continued to receive many more...and some horrible, horrible comments. One saying that photoshop is in the wrong hands with this image (or to that effect), whilst other comments rave at how good this is. Oh well...my score reflects a not so good image.

Maybe next time.

You took on a huge task. Nobody gives out multipliers for difficulty...

Not sure that it was mentioned, in response to your question about "rollover", but the "vote scrubber" will also cast out any votes from people that didn't vote on at least 20% of all entries for the challenge.

They could be good scores or bad scores, hence the "crapshoot" that DrAchoo mentioned.

Best of luck to you. :)

If it's the shot I think it is it one of my highest votes. High level of difficulty and excellent execution.

Wait until you read the comments...everything from blue ribbon mentions to photoshop is in the wrong hands here.
