It's hard to explain why ratings ALWAYS go down. After the first hundred votes, they get posted in the top melon list. But, because of a statistical anomaly called "regression to the mean" your ratings will always drop It's statistics. It's how "averages" work. And the rating page is just an average. You'll NEVER see any picture start at the bottom of the list and work it's way up. It's just the way math works and has nothing at all to do with how much we love your pictures.
spare me your mathematical mumbo jumbo.
