erin_____grasshopper__rice Posted March 22, 2003 Share Posted March 22, 2003 A picture of mine ( http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo? photo_id=1357708 ) received a 7/7 rating from someone. I thought it was humerous because this is obviously not 7/7 worthy... not even close. But It was kinda cool to see it, anyway. ;) A few days after the rating was posted, it and the comment that accompanied it dissapeared. I'm wondering..why...? I didn't think critiquers could go back and delete their ratings...? What happened? Anyone know of this kinda thing happening before...and why? Just curious.

dustinhenry Posted March 22, 2003 Share Posted March 22, 2003 Well...if you don't think it's 7/7 worthy, perhaps the original critiquer was drunk at the time...and, after sobering up, decided to revoke their comments! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajax Posted March 22, 2003 Share Posted March 22, 2003 Could it be someone trying to exchange 7/7s? It was possible to delete ratings until a few days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seven Posted March 22, 2003 Share Posted March 22, 2003 Erin, I think Daniel has a point, it was very likely an attempt at attracting reciprocation. I know of a fellow who recently yanked around 2 000 rates that "didn't work" - i.e. failed to attract a reciprocal rating and gushing comment so his pics could dominate some PN search engine page or other. <p> One could delete rates until a week or two ago; now that can only be done by a moderator so far as I'm aware.

erin_____grasshopper__rice Posted March 25, 2003 Author Share Posted March 25, 2003 Thanks so much guys! The thought had crossed my mind when I first saw it...but I guess I just figured that it was a bit to obvious...apparently not :P I guess that must've been it though... How crappy is that? :P I don't even see how that sort of scam would create enough 7/7 ratings to accomplish whatever he was trying to do. I never even checked out his "portfolio" Well, wehatever..Thanks everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laura2 Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 This is why I put something in my "personal biography" about ratings. I tend to rate high as a personal principle, but I don't want people to think that they have some sort of "duty" to come to my photographs and gush over the image and give it a high rating. Let people know that it is appreciated, but not necessary as a form of reciprocation. Maybe if this happens to you a lot, you should write a little note to post with your pictures or into your biography. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
