khunsanuk Posted February 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 Hi, It seems that one of the contestants has been very unsportsman-like. He rates his own picture a 10 (in itself not a big deal of course), and rated another 7 pictures with a *very* low score (1x 4, 1x 2, and 5x 1). I am seriously tempted to disqualify him and remove his votes from the contest. Thoughts? Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunsanuk Posted February 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 Hi, BTW, only 38 people have bothered voting so far (and many of those only a few photos). Is there really that little interest in this? Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly KS, I'm not even surprised anymore since that's the way it goes around here with whatever you intend to organize, be it nana shirts, blogs, this contest etc. Lots of enthusiasm beforehand but squat afterwards. Very disappointing :down: I'll definitely join the next contest if there's going to be one. This time I only did the voting, no participation due to a fucked up scanner.

I voted, but guilty to say I voted only for the top 4-5-6 pics that I thought were good. BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes....employ the system that was initiated after French judges were found to have been bribed/pressured by the Russians to "fix" some Olympic skating competiton: throw out the highest and lowest scores. It narrows the standard deviation (in statistics terms). Hugh (mak) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 He rates his own picture a 10 (in itself not a big deal of course), and rated another 7 pictures with a *very* low score (1x 4, 1x 2, and 5x 1). Should a person be deleted because he voted 10 for his own picture 4 for only 1 picture 2 for only 2 pictures 1 for 5 pictures? [color:"blue"] Before deleting him, it might be better to see how he votes for the other 9 photos (he has only voted for only 1/2 of the total photos). [/color] [color:"white"] .

thai3 Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 What an idiot, better to have voted just for his own. I was not sure if we had to vote for them all or not. I gave myself my highest mark because I honestly though it was the best, the others from 4-8. Maybe I should rate the rest but a lot of them I did not like that much. One pic definately deserved a one but none of the others.-peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunsanuk Posted February 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 Hi, Now, how come I am not surprised to see you defend this contestant? Oh, and he voted 10, 4, and 2 first, then the next day 5x 1. In both cases the low votes were for photos which were doing very well. Sanuk!

Nervous_Dog Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 The problem also is by having a "Average Score" people like me who didnt have time to open and score every photo (BB as well I thinK) help the poorer photos. If the owners judge them high (OK, not a 10, but maybe 8's, they shold be proud of their own work after all) then those pics have a unjust :Hgher" average. Voting should be for EVERY pic (Mea Culpa) DOG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaad Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 You're right about that ND, if people fail to vote the pics they don't like then those pics will likely have an 'undeserved' higher average. KS, Maybe you should try to make the voting even less time-consuming for the lazy lot among us. Perhaps a poll with links to each pic plus a 1-10 vote option, if possible. At least then all pics get the same amount of votes.
