tomaso nigris Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 I would like to know why my picture "trees early in the morning" is not in TOP PHOTOS with this rating: There are 11 anonymous raters who rated the photo in the "Rate Recent Photos" feature, with an average score of 5.91 for Aesthetics, and 5.36 for Originality. Only the anonymous ratings in the Rate Recent feature are used in some of the Top Rated Photos rankings. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjmeade Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Hello Tomaso, I rated that one and I think it ought to be up there in the top rated photos too. You produce some very beautiful work. Regards Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guyscrivner Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Tomaso, I am responding to your question because I have asked the same in the past. This is my way of paying back those who helped me. What goes around comes around. There are three ways to rate photos on this site. They are: (1) Direct rate the picture by going to the members portfolio or to the specific picture. This rate will not count for the TRP. (2) Go to the Critique Requests, choose Critique by Category, choose category, the pictures then rated do not count toward the TRP. (3) Go to the Critique Requests, choose Recent and rate the photos as they are presented. These are the only ratings that count toward the TRP! So, why the confusion? It is because PN breaks out the Direct Ratings as in (1) but they lump all the ratings from (2) and (3) together. When you go to your picture and check your ratings, it looks like you have 11 anonymous ratings that would count toward the TRP. You may or may not. All the ratings from (2) and (3) are lumped into this number but only the admins on this site know how many of that 11 come from (3). That is why they have that little disclaimer "Only the anonymous ratings in the Rate Recent feature are used in some of the Top Rated Photos rankings." You may wonder why the word "some" is include in this discalimer. That is because they also selectively reduce the number of ratings on the Nudes so they do not dominate the TRP. So, bottom line is, you just thought you could figure out that your photo should be in the TRP. Only the admins know that and they do not care to share that information. Otherwise, they would break out (2) and (3) in the details. With all that said. it is true, comments are for the members and ratings are for the site. Any questions. Regards.

will king Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Tomaso, I think I may have an answer for you. The TRP for <i> Rate Recent Photos </i> only looks at photos that have been recently uploaded. So in your case, if you uploaded this photo, let's say a week ago, but just recently requested a critique, than it will not fall under the TRP for <i> Rate Recent Photos </i> . I maybe wrong, and Brian or whoever please correct me if I am, but this is what I have learned in the past. So I have learned to request a critique very soon after uploading the photo.

tomaso nigris Posted January 8, 2006 Author Share Posted January 8, 2006 I think Will is right. I uploaded this picture some days ago and I received some critique WITHOUT ANY RATING so I posted but most probably the system considered only critique and date of uploaded as date valid for top photos. Thank you to all . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ymages Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 I have read all your answers but still not understand how it works , with no reason photos are not present in the las 24 hours submitted photos even looking for O or for A , and looking only for anonymus rating or not.. I think it looks like a kind of bug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennifer_spiller Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Your most recently loaded photo only has five rate recent ratings, which is not enough to qualify for a spot in the top photos section. I suppose, though, that you are probably talking about a photo uploaded a few days ago. Yes, we consider a photo for the TRP based on when it was uploaded to the site, not when it was submitted for critique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ymages Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 yes but in general i submit a photo the request a crticque at once, sometimes i got at once 5 anonymous ratings with A > 5 & O > 5 ... and they were never not in top rated photo ..

jennifer_spiller Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 You need five rate recent ratings to qualify for a spot in the TRP for the last one day or three days. You need 11 ratings to qualify for a spot in the TRP for the last week. Not all average ratings count towards this minimum - only average ratings obtained through the rate recent queue.

will king Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Jennifer, correct me if I'm wrong but people need to keep in mind that ratings from brand new users do not count towards the TRP either, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennifer_spiller Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Yes, that's right. While these ratings show up on the rating lists, they will not count in the TRP for a few days. This helps reduce the number of trolls and bots who are able to leave many low (or sometimes high) ratings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
