Lately, my rating average on my site is really messed up. The other day I had 65 ratings, and today I have 61. There isn't anyway to delete a rating after giving it, is there? Whenever it says I have let's say 64 ratings now, my average doesn't change at all. I heard some where in your profile settings you can get your average right away. Any clue about that? Help.
Karen answered Saturday April 16 2005, 11:17 am: Your ratings only count for 30 days so this is why the number of times you've been rated went from 65 to 61. There is a way to delete your rating after you receive it and that's by either going to "Edit Answers", searching for the question that you got a particular rating on and then deleting your answer to it. Or you can just go to "View Feedback" on your column, click on a rating, and then delete your answer to that question.

I'm not sure if you can delete a rating after giving it as I've never answered a question, but check the FAQ and you may find your answer there.
They calculate your ratings based upon the ones you've received within the last 30 days. Click on "sitemap" and then on "calculate feedback," and you'll see what I'm talking about!
