    I just stumbled on this failed joke[^] a little bit earlier. It was scoring 1.25. I voted 2 and it, then scored, 1. How come it moved away from my value??

      Because '2' is not the value that's added to the score. A '2' is actually a milder downvote and a value that lowered the average was added.

        Firstly votes are weighted, so not all votes are equal. Then once a certain threshold is met, around 10 votes IIRC, then outlier votes are ignored. In this case, probably there was 8 1's, your 2 and a 5; then the 2 and 5 are ignored for being outside the SD or whatever. The hamsters are notoriously skilled in number majik; best not to ask.

          On which subject, I wish people would stop down-voting it. It is soooo bad that it deserves to continue to be available for posterior.

            How about giving it a poetic touch by turning it into a Haiku: The pickle jar. Nobody can open it. You are the sucker.

                  It simply means CP perceive your 2 score has no value probably because you often give high score to posting which is rated down by others. IOW, next time, you want to give an equivalent 2 score, you have to vote a 5!! ;)

                              I believe a score up to 2 is considered a down, and 4 upwards an up vote. A 3 is anybodies guess. I know it's confusing, early days I used to give a 2 or 3 if I liked something without knowing I was in fact posting a negative score. :confused:
