I had an average rating of 4.97 yesterday. Someone had posted a question where they asked for people's opinions on a situation that had arisen with a family member. A 'do you think this is right?' type question. I posted my answer, along the lines of "depending on age/etc, perhaps you could speak to their parents about this."
I understand people can rate you however they wish but I got a 2 for it! I admit I object to this anyway but the question has since been deleted and I'm just wondering why ratings stand on deleted questions. Because of this person's unfair rating, I've dropped in one moment from 4.97 to 4.93.
In general, I am wondering if it would make sense to null and void ratings you receive for questions that have been deleted?
Seriously, I don't answer that many questions as I don't often have regular access to the internet (I travel a lot) so my rating is a fairly transient thing. I understand how ratings are important but I just thought I'd let you know that to me, a rating of over 4/4.5 shows that you are definately helping people and is something to be proud of. A round number of five can also ring warning bells to me- I reckon I could get a perfect rating if I kissed ass and only answered simple questions, but what would be the point?
Basically, a rating of over 4.5 is something to be hella proud of anyway, so I wouldn't worry too much about a minor drop.

Thanks. I did kinda come to my senses and realise I overreacted. Low ratings happen and I shouldn't let it knock my confidence. Thanks.
