Don't feel bad...this is not your huckleberry either. Up and down. This will be close to the ending score for this one.

With 130 votes, slowly and steadly going down... haven't the voters be informed it should be the other way around?

You're not the only one. I know of several that are going lower....hopefully it is a "challenge wide" lowering ! LOL.....

I think I can say that I'll have a new photo in my personal top 5.

I guess you're right! Tough theme this one, and I suppose voters don't sympathize much either, so no wonder the low turnout...
Anyhow, first I was wishing to make my front page, then settled to break 6, and now I wonder if you even beat 50%...

Score has steadily gone down... Some encouraging comments though so I know at least some people thought highly of it.

LOL... so my unscientific test post confirms my educated guess....posting a score in the threads spells doom for me....be it a curse or dastardly voting. Since the reference to my score I have dropped .0463 in score in four votes. This happened between votes 143 and 147.

No more posting scores or score references in the threads for me !

HA....two minutes after posting this I got another score.... It was a 1 !! Dropped .0829 in five votes. Bring it on !

EDIT: Well since I'm doomed anyway...here is what it looked like:

6.4545 with 143 votes - and now 6.3716 with 148 votes. This was nearly a minute by minute change....I'm thinking about SELF DQing this image.

Yeap :( I feel for you.. that's a horrible score if you ask me, you should just get that out of there as soon as you can before challenge is over :-\

New voting requirements.....must have completed three challenges with an average score of 4 or higher.

I'm at about 5.3... scores been dropping slowly but surely since the challenge begun... I'm curious as to what the final scores will look like for everyone.
05/27/2011 12:04:58 PM · #62


Well if this vote scrubber thing works...I should finish with an 8.5

I alerted SC to a sure fire way of detecting who owns a photo. I even gave a suggestion on how to fix the problem. This needs to be fixed !

Been telling you for a while something was going on. You finally starting to believe me?

Still going down a bit.

IMO I'd say two will be 6.8+ Those will get 1 and 2 place. Third is a tossup between four images. I'd say third may range from 6.4 to 6.65.

There is one I think will either come 1st or 2nd and yeah, 6.8 sounds about right... would be nice to get in the top two pages :/ Doubt it'll happen though.

I'm locked in. Not much movement now. Stuck below ribbon status.

jinxed myself when I posted my score to start with. At 100 votes I was at a 6.000
Within ten minutes of posting my score I went down to a 5.9xxx, then by the next morning I was at a 5.8xxx.
I'm probably going to end up dropping more by posting my current score but oh well, anything under a 6.000 is no longer exciting anyhow to me.

I do appreciate all the comments. :)

LOL....I know what you mean...everytime I post on a thread it seems to go down. I dropped drastically and then held pretty steady. Starting to climb a bit now...but will never get back to the 75 vote mark.

Taking an ass whipping now !

Bah, disqualified :<. I think I should have read the basic editing rules more carefully, I believed any sliders in lightroom were okay - obviously adding a vignette isn't. What's just as annoying is in retrospect I prefer the image without any vignette.

Anyway, was on 5.66 a few hours ago so I guess I'll take that as my final score. Cheers to aKiwi, rugman1969, Sunshine86, jagar and someone else who's hidden during voting for commenting.
