We went from our usual 40 or 50 submissions a day with about 15 to 20 usable pics down to about 15 submission a day with only 4 or 5 usable pics this past week. I have a very strong suspicion it's because of the forums, everyone is just posting em here. Now I like active forums, but I will kill the ability to upload pics here if this keeps up. So I'm asking you girls if you can submit pics to the main page after you post em here in the forums. if the main pic list doesn't keep fresh and exciting with all your awesome melon pics, this place will die very quickly since the main pic list is what pays for the rest of the site. So for the love of jeebus, submit your melons today!!

rating melons is my day job

The rating system, best I can figure, is just a system of median averages (the sum of all votes divided by the number of votes). JF's list on the side only goes to 2 decimal places, but in reality a lot of these scores probably go much deeper than that - and a difference of 0.00001 could be all that separates the top place from the second (a little extreme, given the number of votes that would require, but you get the idea). The actual odds of two scores being exactly the same are incredibly small (theoretically, it's half the sum of the square of the number of votes each picture received multiplied by the difference between them to 1 against, but I could be wrong about that). Yes - I'm a numbers guy *ahem* As for ratings going up and then down sharply over the course of one day, it's important to remember this is a global site. The update is done at 12am PST (affected by DST) and people like Bondi and myself will probably see the new pics first simply because it's at a more convenient time of day (7pm and 6pm respectively, until Bondi comes off DST). Then, as the hours roll by slowly the rest of the world joins us until the next day and the cycle continues. JF's also set the site up to only allow one vote per user, so it's not exactly easy for one person to mass-vote someone down... though, unfortunately, it's also not impossible (I won't go into detail how, but it's unavoidable). I guess it just means there's a timezone full of ( A ) jerks, ( B ) those without taste, ( C ) the numerically impared, or ( D ) all the above - and it's not this end of the planet 'cause it sounds like the scores are higher when they leave us.

Ooh, I actually read all that. Very interesting! So I probably had one time zone who gave me all the high votes, then the hour changed and another time zone came in with different tastes and gave all the low ones. Hehehe. I must try and convert this naughty timezone.
