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.
