How many people appeal ratings given their answers on Askville on an average day?
The only ratings I think that ever bother me are those when the original asker hasn’t really participated in the question. Other times the rating seems justified just because I either didn’t answer very toughly, misunderstood the question, or others were just so much better in how they chose to answer over mine. On occasion it seems like the rating might be tainted a bit by a dissenting position on something, but I imagine that goes with the territory. Plus, everyone has their own system I’m sure of establishing a score. To some, everything is average unless it really stands out as great or poor. Others seem good spirited about all responses. For myself, I’m probably in between those two groups.
