Question: Would you mind sending us an updated vote count (of all the
votes, not only for the 3-times-rated pictures)?

I have the (not so empirically founded) suspicion, that someone is
trying to game the system by submitting as many "1" votes as possible:
The last 15 pictures I rated (some of which showed quite decent
places) had a ridiculously low average. As many of them had only two
votes, I could deduce a lot of "1" ratings, e.g. in pictures where I
submitted a "6" mark and the average after 2 votes was 3.5

I wouldn't raise this here, had it not occured for quite some pictures
in a row whereas when I last played the game, the averages seemed much
more sensible to me. Would be interesting to find out whether I am
just paranoid or whether there has indeed been a significant increase
in "1" / "2" ratings.

Thanks,
Michael
