You're on!I don't vote a a lot obviously. only 3110. First to 4000 Pegazus?
Models not getting as many votes as they used to?
- Thread starter lono
- Start date
Nice to see the vote counter making a reappearance, mines currently on 4288 which doesn't seem all that bad compared to whats been stated on here... but it is still such a small percentage of the total....doh calculater says just over 2.5%. Oh the shame.Note MUST VOTE MORE.
On a side note, I'm not sure quite what the benefit of the "New and Notable" section on the front page is. Sees to me to be more publicity for the figures that are going to end up in the "Top last 7 days" list anyway. Wouldn't the space be better utilised to promote something that isn't already getting enough attention?

From the looks of things one could figure that there are 43 people voting on this site out of the many thousands that belong to it. I never noticed that new and notable area before and what you say might make sense but what would fill it?

Just a week ago I voted like 20 different works (and since that some more), but for some reason my vote count has not risen a one bit. Aren't my votes registered :S? Or is there something I have missed?

I recognized the same when a friend of mine was trying to vote. It seems to me as those things happen all the time.:disapointed: I started to poste my minis at CMON about half a year ago, but almost never reached the 50 votes mark. This is very dissapointing, because you don't have the fun to find out, where you're standing compared with the others. Most of my minis got about 39 votes and then stopped. Maybe it would Be useful to change the system, because it's boring for the new users who have to stay at the same level forever.

Hmmm..funny. Two of my resent minis have also got 39 votes and then nothing.

I too think that there might be something buggy with the Voting system... Some time ago, One of my Two Sides of "The Return Of The Warlord" suddenly dropped by 0.5 Rating from 9.8, although well established and therefore not very vulnerable to Snipers... Strange thing, it never recovered and now resides at somewhere around 9.6 (lower region...)... Really, really don´t want to complaint about any Rating, but I am Super Sure that something somewhere went wrong within the System...
But that´s why it is important to ask people directly if you need their Opinion, I think... Write PM´s to your Favourite Painters and ask what to improve from their point of view...

I've looked into this, and the biggest thing I've seen is that the votes are about 2% to 5% of the total views. So, if you've got 500 views, you can expect to have about 25 votes. Not sure why that happens, but there it is. The models with 8s and above get more views, and get more votes.
Really, really, really not sure what's going on. I felt it was unlikely that only 37 people were voting (at that time), but we proved we could get it above that number. Chern has been trying to fix things. The vote button now says "New Minis" and is green rather than "Random Image" and in red.

I believe it is random, with a bias towards newer submissions.

Hmm. If youre getting mostly old stuff, you may have a filter on, but I didn't see how to turn that on. Something like showing only models of a score of 8 or above for example. That would be possible by just browsing the gallery rather than going thru the "new minis" button on the home page. Other thing would be to ensure that you are logged on. It logs me out every so often but not sure that would do it either.

Doesn't seem like new pics really :/ Maybe as the database has become larger the bias is becoming less effective at selecting the new pics from the larger number of total pics in the database? Just a theory!
EDIT: For info, ratings on those images varied between 4 and 9.

Er, no. Those dates are very unlikely to come up for me. Just hit the voting link, and the 10 minis were all from today and yesterday. I'm, of course, assuming you've not voted on all 165k minis in the database. Which of course, I can check on anyway from your profile, and at 505, you're not that far into the list.
Makes me wonder if you're not the only one this is happening to. And I really hate to keep harping on this in the forums, but my little mental red flags keep being thrown on the low vote counts, and I haven't cleared them sufficiently enough. Too many little strange occurrences, and this is yet another to jot down.
This is Pegazus again. LEGAL NOTICE: He's been bugging me for a while, and so I've set this account for my son (and will be monitoring it, his posts, emails, etc) to post his mini pictures and vote on other minis himself. And of course his sister wants the same, but we'll see if I can dissuade her a bit longer. /LEGAL NOTICE
Had him go through the first 10 votes, and sadly everything acted normal. Really hoped that I could catch the system in the act.
Side note: His taste in minis is a lot different from mine.
