Has anyone else had this problem??

I wrote a poem called ''The Deadly Mirrors'' and it got four votes-all of them were 5's. All of a sudden I was looking at the ratings and all the 5's had changed to 4's!!! I dont know what happened-if it was a site error or not! Has this happened to any one else or does anyone know if the rating will ever change back?

i really don't know how this may have happened. I'm sorry

Someone has just voted you less than a five which has brought your average down...dontbe disheartened darling its merely a number and the abuse of the voting system within the site has been a constant debate.

I had some thing simular happen. One of my poems was rated at a 5, then it whent down to a 3 and everyone was commenting saying they didn't understand why it was rated so low...

Ah it was only worth a 3-4 anyway. :D

How do you know all were 5s?

she knew because it said "you have 4 votes your average is five"

average = vote+vote+vote+vote/# of voters

so therefore 5+5+5+5= 20

20/ #of voters (being four) = 5

therefore if her average is a perfect 5 all the votes were themselves 5s

Thanks for all the responses! They have helped me out---
