the "bump" script is the one that throws out votes from voters that show strange patterns, e.g., all 1s and 2s and the like. usually (but not always) people's scores get a little "bump" up. :)

Hello!
I have a little question, what means "bump script"?
Sorry, but my english is not goog.
hmmm..my score? for the first 5o voters, my score is 6.7, then i tried to monitor it. after 100 voters my scored drop to 6.3, then as of now, after 168 voters, my score still dropping..6.1, but i got little consolations, i recvd 16 comments..to all voters who posted their comments, thank you so much, its highly appreciated.
What surprise me that there is a kind of wave pattern:
My vote average also always starts high, then decrease and rises again every day. The oszillation gets of course less and less over the course of the week.
When I have the first look in the morning at about 3 am EST (I'm living in Germany) votes tend to decrease until 8 am EST, remain steady for some hour and then start to rise from about 3 am until the next morning.
Has anybody else noticed this behaviour too?
Oh yes, especially when a shot contains something to tie it to England/Europe. My first entry contained £20 notes and would rise steadily during the day before dropping like a brick overnight. Big Football Woman did the same but to a lesser extent.
I've also had it happen the opposite way round on other shots, and had some shots barely move all week.
Maybe we need someone working in statistics who can work out an in-depth voter profile with respect to location, gender, were (work, home) and when (night, day) he votes. Could be very interesting to see if female California voters voting at work vote higher then male Portuguese home-voter during the night.

Now I know what the statistic is good for: we can determine everybody's "votability" according to the group he/she belongs, e.g. because it's know that male Ohio voters of age 23.5 vote during the night way to low, they are either kicked out or their votes are multiplied by a factor, so they become average.
Through the "Medula Oblongata Theory", based on the fourth white paper by Professor Jansen Hefferstien of Ithica University, we should be able to modify our existing algorithm to weed out people with enlarged facial appendages and desensitized Quanzars (the same region of the brain that amplifies impulses that trigger smiles). You see, it's my guess that my photos are consistently being voted down by "snotty" photographers without a sense of humor.
I think we need to start correlating votes with Sunspot activity. Their activity has long been linked to abberant behavior, and under conditions of a Solar Flare our electronic assistant brains might have a seizure too...
Well bamaster,
You can't hide behind your theoretical talk and point the finger to other innocent voters!
During the last two hour I quickly hacked the DPC-server and made up the statistics and groups!
And it doesn't look too good for you:
either you move further north, at least to Wyoming
or
you make yourself 3.42 years younger
or
(probably the easiest) change your gender.
It's up to you!

Ah yes, the infamous boob-curve. It is said in the songs of third world countries that it is in the boob where gifts of high votes can be had. I considered a wonder bra just for DPC. But alas, the voters see through the charade. I've even started to lisp... without success. I'm a fraud.
If it is of any consolation: Bamaster's theoretical talk is utter nonsense (and not even correctly spelled at that). I should know, I lecture on Physiology of the medulla oblongata and other brain structures. He is just pulling your leg.

Of course I wrote a paper on the effect of otter (as opposd to utter) nonsense on those with enlarged noses. It appears, in a study conducted over a summer internship, that the human nose is highly sensitive to the pelt of sea otters, genus Camellia Sinensis. So when the common otter shakes vigorously, and nonsensely, the 'twining' which is the equivalent of a cat's dander, triggers a tragically skewed voting pattern on my photos.
Therefore I stand resolved... that people with big noses and without a sense of humor vote my photos down.
Blah, who am I kidding? The jig is up! I've been debunked by the local expert!
