I have trolls that are 1 bombing me and I would like to request a personal sweep.
It's absolutely heartbreaking to see my 4,78 go to a 4,46 and 4,69 to a 4,43.
Who do I message?
At the end of your story there is a little Icon to report the story. Click on that and for reason type in that you feel the story has been the victim of trolling and you'd like a sweep on it, as well as the rest of your stories if any others were affected.
Until you have a substantial number of votes 4's drop you significantly lower than you think. with ten votes I had a 4.9 which is 9 5's and one ten, three votes later with two of them being 4's it was 4.5. It dropped out of hot has come back up and 21 votes (after climbing 4.6) is now resting at 4.5 about to fall out of the H territory again. I don't think there has been a vote lower than 4.
I can't worry about the scores, it would drive me insane to watch them that close.
PM Laurel and give it a try.
Yeah, I claim that it doesn't bother me, but then it does anyway! By the way, don't sweeps remove "fives" sometimes?

Several of our recent stories/chapters had a drop in total number of votes and a rise in scores an hour or two ago, so I assume that some kind of sweep has been done today.
I lost a few votes during the day. No big deal. Maybe that was the sweep for the September monthly contest.
The sweeps go through the entire story database, regardless whether you've asked for one, regardless whether your story is in a contest or not. I see occasional movements even in my oldest stories, but I don't track the detail, just the overall trend.Don't know that I have ever gone though a sweep. But my guess is if it meets the same criteria to remove a one and five would also fall.
And for the record, I never claimed falling scores don't bother me. I said I don't check them often so that I don't worry myself over things not in my control.

Yes, sometimes. If the system deems them to be fraudulent.
How many votes has it got? Sounds to me that the vote count must still be quite low, if the score is still moving around a lot. Or folk are giving it all scores - 3s and 4s in sufficient quantities bring the maths down too. It's not just one-bombs that do it.I haven't been following my story for the Halloween Contest closely. I check it once a day or so. Yesterday morning or the night before the rating was 4.6 this morning it is 4.45 and I just had to wonder why?
I don't care about the contest, I just don't understand the valley and peaks on this story. When it first hit 10 votes it had 4.9, and it has been up and down (drastically) since then. I know things are volatile until there are 25 to 30 votes, but still be bouncing from well above a 4.5 to below at this stage feels odd.
Yes I have stories that hover around 4.5, dropping a couple and picking up a couple.![]()
Unless it's changed recently, my experience is that if you PM Laurel she will tell you to use the "report story" method as described by LC and NotWise.

You're fretting about the maths, needlessly. The vote count is too low to mean anything - come back in thirty days when everything has settled.22 votes this morning. I haven't had the guts to check it again. Yes the count is low on total votes, and I think only one vote was cast before this drop.

This is why I don't look at the votes but a few times a week. It isn't a big deal what the vote is, other than it tells you what people think of the story. I just felt, feel, like this one is one of my best. Okay, not much sex, but it is erotic. I hoped people would like it. To soon to worry, and I know it, but doesn't mean I'm not sulking (fretting), be cause, obviously I am.
