Not salty or anything, this is purely academic.
So just curious if anyone knows about the Raters and Ratings (Ratings and Voters) sections of our stories. I'm a bit of a nerd and have been tracking my numbers on my stories. Basically everything that Literotica lets be download I do and then port into a Excel doc, whenever I can remember to do it over the last year or so.
Because it was part of the Halloween contest I was watching my last story a little bit more than usual. And while I didn't a hundred percent track all the weirdness I did the most dramatic parts. On 10/14 I was at 354 Votes and a Rating of 4.48. This is about average for me so I didn't think too much of it. Sort of hoped that I could get over that edge to hot but if not... Such is life. Then on 10/18 I pulled my numbers again 359/4.48 seems about right. It goes a while to 10/29 before I can pull the numbers again up to 4.51 so it's "hot". Awesome! But my vote count is now 358 which sort of confuses me that it's down by one but my rating is higher. I pull my numbers today... 350 votes and a rating of 4.6, super weird.
TL;DR
10/14 Votes: 354 Rating: 4.48
10/18 Votes: 359 Rating: 4.48
10/29 Votes: 358 Rating: 4.51
11/02 Votes: 350 Rating: 4.6
So was I (and others in the contest) getting Trolled or something and they pulled the negative votes/voter?
The Voter/Rating system just got some glitches in it and it caught up with reality?
Or something else?
It sucks that for 19 days essentially nobody has voted on my story but... 4.6 is good.
