- Create a new acount. 2) Rate your article a 1. Repeat as required. <jk> ;) I don't think a rating can be undone anyway. You can only adjust ratings by more ratings. Chris Meech I am Canadian. [heard in a local bar] The America I believe in has always understood that natural harmony is only one meal away from monkey burgers.

In real life polls, people can (and often do) vote for themselves. So it's okay - no big deal, if I may say so. It does distort the actual feedback though - so if your rating now says 4.55, you'd know that it's probably closer to 4.45 or 4.35, because one of the 5 votes was yours. Regards, Nish

I noticed that different voters have different weight. How does this work precisely? - It's easier to make than to correct a mistake.
See here[^] 6. What is 'Noise level' and how does message voting work? Why are some messages red and some grey? Anyone can give a message you have posted a score of 1 to 5, 1 being poor, 5 being excellent. The Noise level drop-down allows you to specify the minimum score a message must have in order for it to appear normally on the boards. Voting is weighted based on membership level. A new (non-status or bronze member) has a voting weight of 1. Silver members have a weight of 2, gold a weight of 4 and platinum members have a weight of 8. Thus a vote of 4 and a vote of 5 will not necessarily result in a score of 4.5 for a message. If a message has been given a score that is below your noise threshold then it will appear dimmed out on the boards. A message must have at least 3 votes and be below your threshold to be grayed out. Messages that have been voted greater than 4.5 will be marked as red regardless of the the number of votes it has. ---------- Some problems are so complex that you have to be highly intelligent and well informed just to be undecided about them. - Laurence J. Peters
