Forum post score..

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??
A train station is where the train stops. A bus station is where the bus stops. On my desk, I have a work station.... _________________________________________________________ My programs never have bugs, they just develop random features.
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.
Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done. Drink. Get drunk. Fall over - P O'H OK, I will win to day or my name isn't Ethel Crudacre! - DD Ethel Crudacre I cannot live by bread alone. Bacon and ketchup are needed as well. - Trollslayer Have a bit more patience with newbies. Of course some of them act dumb - they're often *students*, for heaven's sake - Terry Pratchett

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.
At least artificial intelligence already is superior to natural stupidity

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 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:
