It's very urban

Or maybe they were disrespecting you! Low voting is disrespecting, but you shouldn't worry about them, they are all haters, no need for them.

I think it stands for "Distance". If you are voting low on peoples images for no reason, then you can use this to determine how many miles away from them you should be when they find out.

Well ... there's a chance it means .. "Disturbance" .. as in .. "I felt a disturbance in the Force when that zero vote was logged ... a whole planet cried out in anguish"

it's .. uh .. very trekkie .. in a more modern kinda way

people? .. people? .. do I have it right?

should definitely have a mouse rollover feature that showed you the members names over the votes cast bars for added naming and shaming value.

Wow! It's really great & very interesting. But it just goes to show you that some people are true dead-beats! They go and give a great image a "0" or "1". Are they too bitter because their photos have never got a rating higher than 30! ;-) Some loser gave one of the best images NASA has EVER taken of the Earth a zero.

Yep, knock off the highest and lowest scores, as Phil suggests...only problem is that more people need to vote or doing so might yeild an average comprised of only four votes...What would solve a lot of problems here would be for more viewers to vote.

Distortion - i.e. the difference between how good the image is, and the sod that votes low for it.
