Strange scoring trends

Firstly let me start off by saying that I understand and accept that the scoring of a particular lady is totally subjective. Hence the sometimes wide variation of scores for the same lady. For example; personally I don’t like ladies with tattoos, no matter how small and consequently I mark them down accordingly. But I became suspicious when several of the scores of my posts suddenly dropped. On investigation I found that p*****r had scored all my uploads with a 1. Further investigation on the posts of other members uploads showed that this member had been active on their posts also. Never ever has this member given a score greater than 1.

I am struggling to ascertain this members motivation for acting in this way. What can be done about someone who deliberately acts in this way? Perhaps everyone should check the scores of their posts and check whether they have been subjected to the same type of “attack”.

It's something that annoys everyone. It's very frustrating when you go to the bother of uploading images and some idiot goes on a "1" voting session. It's happened for years, and other than taking away the option of voting on images altogether, there's no quick-and-easy solution.

But, what I would suggest, is that if you feel someone has been abusing the site in some way, you should report them to a mod and they will look into it for you. Try visiting this page for a list of the current mods - http://whatboyswant.com/forums/read/146822/Meet_the_Moderators.html/limit:10

If I recall correctly, several years back, there was an uproar about this and some code was placed to deter blanket downvoting by disabling a user's voting ability if their overall rating dropped below a certain value. Not sure if that is still in place or not. I wasn't in favor of implementing that policy then and I am not in favor of it now. There are just as many abuses, if not more, of users giving a 10 rating to an undeserving image as users' handing out a 1 rating. Of course, no one complains about their submissions getting undeserved 10s, but it still skews the ratings every bit as much as unwarranted 1 ratings.

I'm not sure of the concept of 'going to the bother of uploading images' like users are putting in a lot of effort to find and submit images. Many of the posts lately are just image for image reposts from ImageFap folders and similar sites with large archives. Check out the timestamps on some of the images, many are from the early 2000's. Not to say that everyone is doing that and that there is no fresh/newer content ... but there is enough to cause me to have flashbacks to the 1990s.

There are people that come on this site everyday and vote every girls a 1. I have pointed it out to the people that run this site many times and they have done nothing. But when there is a incredibly gorgeous girl that should be in the top ten but has a score of 6 or so. Girls like this are more apt to go to other sites then post on this site. I have already noticed people posting pictures have gone way down

Some users do put in the effort to upload images. Others just mass upload whatever they find, irrespective of watermarks, being porn stars or just poor quality photos. You can't check every single photo that has been uploaded previously, so of course there will be some duplicates.

It's not a lot of effort to post images or create threads, granted, but putting in some effort is better than none at all...

Few things here:

1- What would you do about the voting system to make it fairer? (an honest question)
2- Are you referring to women who come to this site to post their own nude photos?

Maybe that is their plan, abuse the ratings to make the site WORSE because they don't like the idea of the site? I doubt it's a competitor, that seems unlikely, but who knows?

There might be some way to use the statistical functions of the site's database to identify users who routinely vote outside a normal range (like 2 standard deviations).

One idea that I have heard mentioned recently is to remove the 1-10 rating system altogether, and implement a simple choice - there is a "like" or "hot" button and if you think the picture is worth it, you would click this button. Pictures would then be ranked by those with the most votes. There would be no negative option, so if you don't like an image, you simply move on.

I quite like this idea. It's simple and easy and prevents the serial negative posters from succeeding in their stupid games.
