About the voting system again

As discussed many times before VW used to apply a program after the end of the contests to avoid any multiple down or up voting.December and January scores were influenced significantly by this program but I think the final rating looked more or less fair.We had a strange fluctuations in February regarding the scores but this program was not applied this time and the scores were left as they were.I would like to know why VW did not apply the script or program this time?

I agree that the Voting program is working very bad and wrong.

If you look at pictures ahead in the ranking and the pictures that have less votes - it is looks strange. Many amazing photos lose before "not very nice." Even Any sober look see it without voting system.

On what grounds admins cleaned good and bad votes? It's just a job of administrators hands . Once they decide which votes are wrong. But any person has the right to vote a bad voice. And they clean it as wrong ... Or vice versa))) Strange ..

Still wonder about the voting system ...

People (webmasters!!!), you have to work on a new voting system. This system strange.. Just think ...

You write VW have more than 2.5 million unique visitors per day. I Mean major rating of any contribution is formed throughout the day by minimum 1000000 unique votes. Even 1 million votes can form a stable rating.

Then how can it be that next days the rating of many contributions falling fast?? If the first few days contri has 4.7 rating for example, then it fall to 4.65 or lower by the day? It is very difficult to downgrade after a million votes... Accuracy is small - about plus or minus 0.02.

You write that your administrator removes bad and good votes ... But It looks as your admin doing it by his preferences .... He reduces the good votes of many contributions and down rating by hand. Wonderful contributions have many positive comments, but their ratings rapidly falling .... In this case, many suspicious contributions have stable rating ... SOOOOOOOOOOOO strange. It was never before....

Before this never happened. Now when I look at the rating list head is spinning. This is like "Old sexy monster Voyeurweb" losing its position in the global sex ocean ...

You have to do something ...

Nicole with love

Contributor, the script which detects and scrubs fraudulent voting runs throughout the month, then after all voting closes at the end of every contest. It occurs each month and is automated, so we do run it at the end (and during) each month as this is the best way to prevent cheating.

Nicole, Please note that administrators do not change votes, only our users have the power to decide who gets to win through majority rules. In fact the administrators do not have any capability to change the votes, the only way votes get changed is done by an automated programming script which seeks out fraudulent votes, therefore there is ZERO possibility of bias, as scripts don't know who anyone is or care, they just have a job to seek out cheaters who try to manipulate the voting system.
