1.5:1 voting ration is killing me.


I believe that uploads are open for everyone anytime the vote ratio is at 1.5:1 or greater. I would say that the ratio is at that level the vast majority of the time. Also, with summer ending and the days shortening I suspect we will see an increase in voting levels as activities move back inside. This should help sustain a better voting ratio. WE

Sea Belle check out the never won before challenge.

Everyone else, try uploading at a different time of day, it might help. Also avoid speed voting or other such practices. Usually if you keep your voting ratio above the 1.5 you can still upload. One persons voting frenzy is not going to make a large difference in the overall ratio. It takes many votes from many people to raise the ratio.

I do hope that Chaba has not left over the misunderstanding with the never wone before challenge. I  am sure the entry was a misunderstanding  as Chaba may have well thought the 'never before 'applied to  the image.  I will miss his work, fascinating as it is and I am sure if he goes it will be great loss to the site.

 

I do hope the 'challenge'  issue will now be 'let go'.

Hopefully they are just starting over with a new account.  Sometimes that can be the best way to erase a huge voting deficit. WE

Since the sister site opened the vote ratio has dropped. Are their any plans to review the required vote ratio until our numbers go back up?

If anything, I think that the Challenges may be somewhat lowering the primary site voting.  Those votes are not considered in the contest tally and overall voting ratio. Each challenge requires 1750 votes (35 images x 50 votes per image) from the membership.  WE
