Okay I really want to know if this picture of my son is that bad : Photo
Seriously is it that really that bad that the rating keeps dropping? Even after being submitted to not one but two groups to help bring low ratings back up? I can understand rating low if it wasn't my picture. But I took the picture of my son. I also made the frame around my sons picture. I stated that in the caption. The SKS watermark is my initials. If the picture is really that bad, please tell me. I will accept it and take it down.

People low rate just to be mean!
Teresa T. Feb 22, 2009, 1:49am EST
No Way Mini... Whoever is doing this is just being mean. That is a great photo! I gave you a 10!!! I would give you 100 - 10s' if I could!!!

Try to ignore the ratings. The trolls are everywhere and will low rate anything, no matter what it is or how good it is. I do not rate anymore and hardly ever look at the numbers since they are meaningless. Instead, I look at the views and see how many people cared to take a look at what I posted. I don't get upset if they do not all leave comments, because sometimes I just look, too. I like the picture.

Leah Christensen Feb 22, 2009, 2:02am EST

Steph-in-NE ..... Feb 22, 2009, 2:02am EST
not the troll are just hungrey I must get my penquin droppings out for them,,, I did a post on my grandduaghter and ask not to point it out for I cant teun my thingy off.. yet in the first minutes after I posted it I got 2 views and a 5.0 ranking,, so I figured I still got someone to look at it and got points for that
J W. Feb 22, 2009, 2:03am EST
don't worry about the ratings it is the views that count. people just low rate to be hateful or because they are jealous of your work
Diane "stormyz" B. Feb 22, 2009, 2:06am EST
It's a great pic! Don't worry about the troll rating and keep the pic up. Someone low rated my article about my kitty Frannie having to be put to sleep yesterday...talk about mean!
Carla B. Feb 22, 2009, 3:14am EST
People just like to give low ratings. I think it's a good picture. I just gave it a 10.
Renita P. Feb 22, 2009, 3:14am EST
I like the pic. I know someone just posted about giving low ratings for some reason I totally did not get. Just smile as they go by giving you points!

And I really love Steph's comment about her penguin droppings! lol
Cindy B. Feb 22, 2009, 3:24am EST
Nothing wrong with that pic! You just have a troll who is having a nasty day... =(
Ariel Storm Feb 22, 2009, 4:32am EST
No Mini. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that picture. Just some nasty people out and about.
Teresa W. Feb 22, 2009, 5:03am EST
They are jealous of you, that's their problem. It's a wonderful picture, please don't take it down.
.* Sandi * Feb 22, 2009, 5:18am EST

i dont even look at the ratings any more, i wish I would rememeber to turn them off when i post lol
Nancy * Feb 22, 2009, 6:12am EST
there are a few jerks runnin' round... it's a wonderful picture!

I know!! maybe someone is jealous of your handsome star!
Tammy N. Feb 22, 2009, 7:04am EST
I liked it! I gave it a 10.

Don't worry so much about ratings... remember... it's just a sign that someone gave a page view!!
Rob Appell Feb 22, 2009, 7:19am EST
You've got to understand the mind of a dill weed. They don't care what you post...article, picture, video. They're hell bent on a mission to prove their ignorance...and they're doing so VERY well. You could post a picture of God and they'd still give it a '1'. Any "1' rating is automatically null and void and ignored because of the moron who left it...so let it go and keep enjoying the '10' you had without their stupid point contribution.
Elaine S. Feb 22, 2009, 7:56am EST
It's a good picture.Don't let the trolls get to you.They are just nasty people.
J F. Feb 22, 2009, 8:51am EST
Don't worry about it. I think it is nice and creative, too. There are some jerks on here.
Amy just hangin' out M. Feb 22, 2009, 8:55am EST
it's a great photo, and you did a good job on the frame. i only removed it from Views R Us because it was over 50 views.
tammie p. Feb 22, 2009, 9:29am EST
awww. it is a very nice pic of him
Courtney C. Feb 22, 2009, 9:54am EST
I wouldn't pay attention to the ratings. They're obviously being done by losers.
Connie C. Feb 22, 2009, 11:39am EST
It is not your photo. Some people don't even look at what they rate. They just rate a "1" to be mean. I get low rated all the time. I have started turning my rating off when I remember it. :)

***Paying It Forward***
John S. (arizona) Feb 22, 2009, 12:07pm EST
Well I think it good myself. Sorry that people are bumming you out. Take care.
Bob B. Feb 22, 2009, 12:26pm EST
That's an excellent picture! Don't worry about the ratings.
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Feb 22, 2009, 12:30pm EST
Honey, you've been around long enough to know that ratings have absolutely nothing to do with the quality of work. But even the low ratings increase your views and, therefore, your payment. so, try to remember that. Your son is handsome and you don't need anyone on gather to tell you that. You know that better than anyone. and this picture is great! And I agree with the frame, he's a star!
Sandy (back in Ohio...blah!) Feb 22, 2009, 2:46pm EST
At first the low rating bugged me because everything else had a ten except this one. Til I made this post. Than the trolls hit alot more of photos with low ratings listed under other photos.
Andrea (Ms. Conservative) L. Feb 22, 2009, 3:47pm EST
no - people are just being mean - ignore them
dee b. Feb 22, 2009, 4:48pm EST
Concerning yourself with ratings is a waste of time. There are people out there who get joy I guess from being mean. There loss if they are that miserable. Your son is a cutie.
dee b. Feb 22, 2009, 4:49pm EST
oops I meant thier loss.
Shaunee C. Feb 26, 2009, 9:45pm EST
People who rate low are wrong in doing so. I am sorry that happened to you.
Missy Cline Feb 28, 2009, 11:02am EST
he is a cutie...the trolls are just being themselves.
Netty B. Mar 1, 2009, 11:04am EST
