        Those who vote 1 instead of 5 I can understand (:mad:) But those who vote 3 instead of 5[^]? :wtf:* * Perhaps they follow the idea that the best approach in life is the zen of steady hidebound - hence Avg(1,5) = 3 :confused:

        I know I had an aberrant period where I refused to vote 1 or 5 as poor old 2,3,4 were all being ignored, but the comment does not reflect the vote!

          I actually understand those who vote 3 (I am talking in general terms and not about that particular vote/post you are pointing to). I consider it a mid-level grade which you should be able to give without getting yelled at and put on the spot. I admit to 'over-voting' (is that a word?) at times. Since a lot of people get furious about receiving a 3-vote and you have to leave a comment for such a vote, I end up voting 4 or not voting at all. In either case, my action increases the average vote. Soren Madsen

              Maybe they consider anything that is thought worth publishing is "good work" by definition, and that 4 and 5 should be reserved for "exceptional" and "perfect"? If so, 24 hours of moderating the article queue would disabuse them of that notion PDQ... :sigh:

                      I believe, the rating system is bit confusing. When you have range of 1 to 5, normally (at least to me) it feels more like a marking system where you are giving 5 marks out or 5 while rating 5. or giving 3 marks out of 5 when you are voting 3. It took considerable time for me to understand that 1 and 2 is actually negative rating, 3 is no rating actually and 4 and 5 is actually up-voting. I remember raising this as a bug /suggestion saying it should be more clear. But it didn't pass through. I am still of the opinion that the rating system is confusing and more clarity is required.

                      Thanks, Milind

                        I suppose you are right. I guess you can argue that comparing bad, short Tips to great, long tips is equivalent to comparing bad Articles to fantastic Articles. Soren Madsen

                                You are clearly an extremist. A 3 vote is a vote for mediocrity, and long may it continue!

                                  By voting 3 they can feel inclusive of the group, exercise their democratic right to vote and maintain the universal suffrage. However, on this occasion they may feel compelled to not affect the outcome. It is rather like a voter at an election choosing to deliberately spoil the ballot as a political act.

                                    NO! People who deliberately spoil their ballot papers know exactly what they are doing. People who vote Libel Demoncrats are brainless, dangerous, crypto-marxists who wish to destroy any hope this country has of being successful.
