It's has just gotten really strange lately...

matthew

...yep... sure has... & you are not the 1st to question the psych exp. theory....

...It has become really frustrating...

...I tried a new experiment too...

...I gave myself a 1 vote on the pics I submitted that I thought were good...

...My hope was that the 1 vote bandits would see my pics & assume someone had already undermined my rating & move on without screwing me over...

...That experiment failed this morning when those pics all recieved 1 votes...

...Rachel says they are working on a different system...

...I will give them the chance, but...

Matthew, you're angry, for various reasons. This thing is eating you up and it really isn't worth it. You've done some wonderful drawings. Not all of them have done as well as you fealt they should, but it should not be so important as to make you angry. You enjoyed drawing them and they were appreciated by many people who voted for them. If some idiot goes around voting down decent drawings, so what! They have a problem! We all know how much work goes into these drawings .. we all think that at least one of our drawings deserved more attention than it got, but that's life. You have a rich sense of humour and it is being overshadowed by your anger, over something that really doesn't matter, because we all know what is going on and we are all victims to it. Lighten up ... bring back some of that fun loving attitude that we all know you have. You will make us feel better and you will feel better for having done it.

Wow, Matthew, I wondered why you had a 1 vote when I was on last night. I looked when you posted it and figured it couldn't of been up very long. I'm glad activity is now being tracked. I don't believe that this person cares if they are caught. Abuse is not OK, anyone that think it is is enabling it.

This question was meant to be tongue in cheek, not serious.....

kmkagle

I thought it was a serious question? Or, am I mistaken?

puzzler

Has anyone heard the term, paranoia?? No? Just me then.

Luna

It might be serious.
puzzler, just because you are paranoid doesn't mean there is not some one out to get you

puzzler

So, you've heard about them too Luna? You know what that means, don't you?!

Luna

They are out to get me, too, and/or I am paranoid

kmkagle

Your are not paranoid, either of you. I think someone is out to knock down the "vote getters"s. I shouldn't say anything, every time I say something I get into trouble.

How can you see what ratings a picture has received? (I know to hold the cursor over the stars to see the overall rating, but how do you know that a picture got a 1?)

Isis13

Very true...

Isis13

?

Isis13

is anyone here at all???

matthew

...I know when mine get there ones...

... I get them regularly...

...If Ihad 9 votes of 5, my average is 5...

...If I look later and I have a 10th vote and my average is now 4.6, I received a 1 vote...

... (4.6 x 10 = 46) - (5 x 9 = 45) = 1

....ok, I'm now laughing --a bit breathlessly -- like when you step into a cold shower!

'Bout 15 minutes ago I wandered in to check Showcase (stuff on my stove wanted a bit of simmering) ----AND I'd been bit.

Yep... dunno if it was a 1 or a 4 or wherever in there (too lazy to do the math) but there I was, down on the 2nd or 3rd page....

Musing and reminding myself that food was going to level my blood sugar quite soon... deep breaths meanwhile... I clicked on Gallery to see who was putting up new stuff...

aaannnnndddd....

when I clicked back on Showcase --------I'm back there on page 1 again EVEN WITH 4.96 !

Hang on for an intriguing Wild Ride, folks... Rachel at the wheel?? (grinning.....)

does the rating really matter?

Qsilv

yes and no ...(smiles)

puzzler

No one in the showcase has an average of 5. I wonder if a formula has been applied?
