believe you me ... I am not griping... being that I was in the running for a ribbon during the Movie Challenge... I was tracking the votes.....in the last few seconds before closure... I recieved a "2"....lol... and out of the last 5 votes...I got another vote of a 3...my total votes of 1,2,3.... equaled 5 total votes...without those votes.....lol... I don't really know if I would have had a ribbon or not but.. is in fact funny that my last few votes gave me 2 of my lowest scores...I am glad for 4th... 167 votes.....remember that

actually, the same thing was happening to me. My score dropped quite a bit the last few hours before the challenge ended.

also remember that the freakishly low votes are trashed at the last minute as well. mine actually dropped a full point over the course of the week. Easier not to watch the votes as they happen. just makes ya Craaaaaaayzeeee.

Yes... crazy .. you are right...but I do believe that if someone votes 20% of the 60 odd photos... their votes count....I don't think they are trashed...lol

Seems that there was some strange (suspect) voting going on yesterday, I noted a 1 and several other votes well below the average on my Future entry. In all I think I received 6 votes in a row well below the then average score in about 30 minutes.

This is not true. If someone went through and voted on 20% of the photos or even on ALL the photo, but only voted 10's, Those 10's would be thrown out in the last few minutes of the challenge. Also if someone voted all 1's. Or some other strange voting pattern, those would be thrown out as well no matter how many photos they actually voted on.
