Question Posted Sunday July 31 2005, 10:47 pm

Heyy DangerNerd!!

I've got a question about my ratings. (not bragging!) I have 15 ratings from the past 30 days, all of them are 5's. None are from private questions. A few hours ago I had 14 ratings and an average rating of 5. Then I got another rating (which was a 5) and my rating dropped to 4.73. Why'd this happen? All I've gotten is 5's, it doesn't seem right that the rating would go down... thanks!

Hi there,

You got a one for this question:

If I had to guess it would be because the questioner already knew the answer, and was looking for someone to back her up in her belief.

Telling someone that God will forgive them, when they aleady believe that if they aren't around to ask forgiveness, they can't be forgiven will probably get a "1" every time.

If you believe in the Bible or not, you have to be careful when telling something the opposite of what it says if you expect a '5' from them.

Tell them something that they already know it doesn't say, when they are looking for re-assurance of their beliefs will probably not be well met. In this case, it was a '1.'

Take care,

DangerNerd.
