igla Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 I placed a pic for critique on 13 of September. Since it got 28 ratings with average over 5 in each category. From the first hour till now i can't find this pic on any of the ratings browser aldough some other pictures posted at the same time are there. WHY my pic is not posted? WHY you took away two 7/7 and give me 2/2. Why are you playing hide and seek with members of this site? This is the pic I talk about: http://www.photo.net/photo/3724705 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmj Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Your picture is included in, at least, the "3 day, comments" and "3 day, average" views, possibly more. It may not be included in some of the other views, because it has 4 "Rate Recent Queue" ratings, when many views require 5 or more. There are mechanism in place to remove fraudulent ratings and/or accounts. The result may indeed be that you lost a 7/7. I don't think there's any hide and seek going on here.

tholte Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 "WHY you took away two 7/7 and give me 2/2." We all took a vote and decided that two sevens were too high for this image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mottershead Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Just to be clear, the moderators don't change ratings and don't add ratings. They do delete ratings, and they also delete accounts, which will take any ratings given by the accounts along with them. If you see 2 7/7's, and a little while later they are gone and there is a new 2/2 rating, it could mean that a moderator (or our software) deleted the 7/7 ratings or the accounts that gave them, and that in the meanwhile you have received an additional rating, a 2/2. Users, however, can change their ratings. So your scenario could have been the result of someone changing the 7/7's to something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igla Posted September 15, 2005 Author Share Posted September 15, 2005 Thanks for your respond to my questions. Brian you saing that there is 4 RR but the details show 28. Why is like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmj Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 The other anonymous ratings are Rate Category ratings, and those don't count as Rate Recent, although they are also anonymous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawel_czapiewski1 Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Why not tell him all the facts. Derek, on an image i uploaded yesterday at least three out of 8 anonymous ratings kept changing in the range from 2/2's to 6/7's every couple of minutes. I pulled it.

byronlawrence Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 you shoudl think of it like a slot machine, and not keep such a close eye on them, look at the ratings a week after posting the picture and then see what you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimi colteryahn - rep. of Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 <DD>But, because of peer pressure, I voted with everyone else to take your 7/7 away.<BR> i'm really very sorry, my friend...<BR> jimi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guyscrivner Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 If this is not a great example of a rating system that is manipulated I don't know what would be. I think I may go rate it a 7/7 myself. It could not hurt anything. Just one more TRP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhenry Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 One question to Patrick:<br>I understand that rate recent are anonymous but most of the time I rate using category screening and it is never anonymous. I do not see what kind of rate by category screen you are refering to here.<p>One remark to Derek - forget it if your posting is humourous(?):<br>'why you give me 2/2' is indeed a good question. Did you answer that question yourself at the fisrt place to the people you attributed dozens of 2 or 1, or even hundreds of 3? <br> are you playing hide and seek yourself?!<p>]:@* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimknowles Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 it is human nature to descend into the depths of despair and cynicism, sarcasm and dark humour after a cold hard removal of inner self from any endeavor which fails to provide any other sort of enjoyment. hmmmm.

pmj Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Jacques, if you use the <a href="http://www.photo.net/bboard/forum? topic_id=1481">Photo Critique Forum</a> and then pick a category, such as <a href="http://www.photo.net/gallery/photocritique/? rating_type=photocritique&topic_id=1481&category=Landscape">Landscape</a> and start rating, then these ratings are Rate Recent Category ratings and they are anonymous.
