Fellow artists at RR,
For several months now, a disturbing trend has been emerging in the ratings given to my images. Its like this... Whenever I put up any new work, people begin to visit my gallery and start to comment and vote. Initially, all goes well, with practically all comments being positive, the ratings assigned neatly following the praise given. Suddenly, the mean ratings drop from 5.00 to something like 4.96 to 4.98, indicating the existence of a very small number of people who assigned low scores, though there are no corresponding critical comments made. After a while, the mean ratings magically climb back up to 5.00 again, though just in time to miss the deadline to make it into the best rated charts. It is all so regular that I already have a pretty good idea of who is giving out the low scores.
This has been going on systematically for quite a while now, following a very exact pattern that repeats itself flawlessly. It seems to be happening right now to my last work, with the ratings dropping mysteriously once the comments reach more or less to half of the 4th page. Lets see how it goes from here.
The interesting things are (a) the mysteriously low ratings given, (b) the complete absence of criticism in the comments following the lower grades assigned, and (c) the strange "correction" in the ratings after it is too late to make any charts.
This is upsetting not really because of the low ratings given or the exclusion from the top of the charts, for I am a big girl and can certainly take some online criticism, especially if it is positive. It is the complete lack of any comments pertaining to flaws in the work and, yet, there still being low scores given, that reeks of ill faith.
Therefore, I once again ask all my visitors to please voice their negative comments if you have them. Just don't hand out deceptive praise followed by a harsh judgement in the score given. I know that the problem is stemming from just a very small number of people, most of whom I have already identified.
Just so not leave anything unsaid, I wish you all a happy new year.
Yours truly,
Monica

Beautiful image, lovely character! Hope she's not freezing till her date shows up! You know, I wouldn't bother too much about ratings, especially on a public site. Jealous artists are everywhere, and if this makes you feel better, I was in the same situation till one day I didn't allow ratings anymore. Now, whoever wants to leave a comment, good or bad, is more than welcome, but no more ratings!

Stunning holiday/winter scene. Beautiful work.

Lovely Art Dear Friend.

Brrrrrrr. You capture winter very well with this image. Regarding ratings. I hope I am not inadvertently causing problems. I don't comment on an image unless I like it enough to remark on it, but I do not always rate the image. I often forget to rate images when I make a comment. Does that effect the over all rating?
joeping
brrrr you can feel the cold of this artwork
Valeriya
Amazing!
kftate
Absolutely beautiful! Truly gorgeous work!

Hi Monica, This is very beautiful! Hope you had a lovely Christmas and have a Happy New Year!
Jay-el-Jay
She looks dressed in an appropriate manner for the cold weather.Well done.
bakapo
this is beautiful, the blues are wonderful and so pretty. I stopped asking for ratings on my images... it's just not worth the frustration and confusion. I always rate your images high because, quite frankly, they deserve to be rated high! hug

Lovely Happy New Year

Very awesome...

A really "cool" image, Blue is my favorite colour and you used it perfectly well! A very happy New Yea to you!

Lovely artwork ! All those shades of blue, it's beautiful ! I always give a 5 when comment an image, except for this one because there is no rating available. If I don't like something, I don't comment or give a rating at all. I think loving an image or not is only a matter of personnal perception of what is good or not, and this does not represent an absolute truth. Although I'm always taking critics with a smile, I know some people cant be hurt sometimes so I keep my mouth shut ;)

This is a wonderfully cold and and snowy winter image! Your work is always deserving of a five, so I don't understand what the problem is. I'm not a fan of rating or favoriting, but I know ratings are important to many, so I do them. I have turned off the ratings in my gallery, because I think they are more about politics and favoritism and who likes who, and have little to do with the actual quality of work. I've seen too many poorly made images make the art charts when there are so many deserving works that were ignored. Okay, I'm done with my rant, (:

Un petit coucou en passant par la et surtout une bonne année 2014 :)
Thetis
Mysterious things are going on here, it seems. I wouldn't know how to stop it, exept turning off the ratings. But that's not a satisfying solution. Marvelous artwork! Love it :)

Happy new year!! Superb image!!
velleman
Remarkable romantic and full of life image, bravo!

Lovely pose and colour! (I don't ask for or give ratings)

Very nice Monica, and a beautiful image indeed. Five stars from me! George/Teffo
Hendesse
Some years ago I had the same problem. Since then, I leave no longer rate my pictures. The rating system here is useless anyway. A nice comment is more important to me. The picture is fantastic again, I like the winter mood. It looks very beautiful.
gaius
Fabulous work, so creative and so well rendered ; it's a pleasure for the eyes. As to your problems, I can't believe this could happen...but it does ! That's why I unchecked ratings !!!
blankfrancine
Nicely done, Monica. Looks real cold indeed, but she has dressed appropriately. As far as the ratings, charts, etc, I have no interest in them.For some,artists, they are important. So I try to give an honest rating. If I dont like a piece, I wont leave a comment or a poor rating.
JaneEden
This happens all the time Monica, I think a lot of people experience the same re ratings. I love this image with its cold blue tones, a very pretty seasonal creation. Happy New Year hugs Jane xx
bazza
Very beautiful work on this one Monica, a fabulous winter scene indeed. Wishing you a wonderful 2014..

Beautiful Christmas image! Hope you had A Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

Fabulous work, I love the tone on tone images. And the lady's coat I find very appealing ... (Where did she the only come from?) Beautifully done! I can declare that the negative review happens only out of pure envy only. I can not understand how someone can be so mean and vile. Mainly because of your fabulous work absolutely nothing negative to be said. For me, it borders on shift!
