You can see one example;

Let's see the Ivox3's balance. (sorry chris )

it's now rated 6.4 (76 vote).

but in my capture, it has 6.66 (73 vote).

6.4x76=486.4

6.66x73=486.18

3 guys rate total 0.22.


Ok, let's consider decimal point.

6.404(it's max 6.40)x76 = 486.704 => 486.7

6.655(it's min 6.66) x73=485.815 => 485.9 (because there is only one decimal)

3 guys rated total 0.8. average 0.3.

What the hell is it.

I lost hope on that. My idea was not that great but a couple of people voted 9and were nice enought to post a comment. Regardless the thing dropped like a stone on a river, i haven't checked since god knows when. But the againg, i am assuming that most of us here are selftaught and probably kept on going due to F*** up people too proud to admit when something might look better. Humble personas are less everyday.

As far as making two different accounts, that's just a wast of time. In other words those pleaople do not have anything else to do that to rate their amazing work.

PS: I will have to say, so far MR community has beign the most humble and best community i've had the pleasure of beign involved in.

There are actually people who are signing up with multiple accounts deliberately to vote down or up people's work... usually to vote down. I was talking to a friend today who was watching the guy at the next station do it for 2 hours, just setting up hotmail accounts, going onto CGSphere, and voting 0 for a guy he didn't like.

yup. same can be said for the reverse also. I mean how many people are setting up accounts just to vote themselves up....

it's just fun to invent something though.

hey... why don't we have a m~r poll of our own for maxwellized cgspheres... and then... ah forget it. LOL

that stuff should not be rated at all.... so childish... huh uh.. my sphere is bigger than yours.... jeeez get a life...

umm that's more or less what I was insinuating...

We should just use if for fun. I think that's all it's intended to be. ratings don't really mean much when you're not winning anything. In many ways it's a bit laughable that it's taken so seriously. Abuses are inevitable, que sera, sera...

[Hervé]

exactly, rating does not mean anything, because it can be cheated in sooooo many ways.. (imagine a young guy in a classroom calling all his friends to vote for him..) a jury would have been better... but then again.. take it for fun... !

[Frances]

A jury sounds like a great idea. But don't ask me to be on it - I only give 10's.

[aitraaz]

lol, i doubt a jury would be any more democratic, maybe a bit less messy...

Heck, I agree with Chris too!

(ummm.... who's Chris?)

Nice site. Never seen it before... don't have too many opinions on the voting. Why knock down other peoples scores... is there a top prize? Like a Christmas hamper or something.

C'est moi !

Why knock scores down ? The entrants vary widely from serious professionals to empty headed teenage boy hobbyists. I wouldn't expect to much ethicality from a certain portion of the latter.

...as for the prize, ... No to the Christmas hamper, ...but there is a fat sphere like hamster that's up for the taking.
