Just a question/comment.

I signed in and just realized that the ratings to all my poems have plumetted drastically. I noticed that they have done so by a difference of 1 vote or, in some cases, by no addition of vote number at all. I'm really confused by it. Personally, I don't mind if someone is going to give me a low vote, I just would appreciate a reason as to why, to help me improve, and to point out what I'm doing wrong. I think there is a big difference between having a rating of 5.0 and then suddenly have it drop to a 3.0 without any explanation. So please, a simple explanation would be appreciated. Secondly, why would the rating drop, if no additional person has voted? I'm terribly confused by this. So, in conclusion, if you are going to give someone 1's or 2's please say why. This happened to all my poems, and I really don't believe that one person sat down and read every one of them. Oh well, enough complaining. If anyone could answer the question I had, that would be lovely. Thank you
Best wishes,

lol fair enough, yeah I think someone went through and gave me a two for everything. It didn't make much of a difference to the poems I had with a lot of votes, but for the ones with one or two votes, it made a huge difference. It's so silly really,

Reprt it to the mods. I suspect (immature) foul play.

I confess, that I do not know exactly how to do that.

Hey, it happens all the time to many people! So don't bother looking at the rating figures when your reading something. Read the poem and try to understand what the writer is expressing, that is more important.

We have so many of the so called "Murderraters" who go around dumping low votes out of spite. It's just funny why people will do that?
