Hi, was wondering if someone could help me w my curiosity about disappearing votes on my newest story. I only noticed because the votes that disappeared were all the ones that were less than a 5.
Unfortunately, while I do pay a decent amount of attention to the votes etc., on my stories, particularly the newest ones, when votes and comments are more frequent, I didn't pay close enough attention to have all the info I might want here.
Here's what I do know, or what I can conclude based on stuff I noticed along the way.
My newest story, "A Wedding, a Tie, and ad Test of Wills," was posted last week. It got a 2 fairly early on, and I'm pretty sure at least two 4s. I know there had to be at least 3 scores that were not 5s, because I do know that at some point recently the story had 40+ votes and an average of < 5.
Just now, however, when I looked at my profile, the average score for the story had gone up to 5. I went down to the little graph at the bottom, and the only scores listed are 5s.
I understand that scores disappear when people delete their profiles, but it seems a little strange that 3 people who'd voted on that story all deleted their profiles in such short succession?
And I wasn't paying close enough attention to the number of votes to know if the vote total had shrunk, though I suspect it must have.
I'm not complaining (why would I be?), but it seems a bit strange. Since I like knowing how things work, was wondering if anyone could enlighten me.
thanks!
