Is quote rating supposed to act like this?

Just today I liked my own new quote (Shamelessly of course) and instead of it going to 2.5 stars like usual, it shot up straight to 5 stars; And whenever I dislike a new quote it shoots up to 3.8 instead of 2 or 2.5 stars! Is this intended? It seems like it'll introduce a lot of bad or poorly written quotes into the stream if anyone can instantly give a quote all-star status with a like or an above-average status with a dislike, based on only one rating! And it'll take a lot more dislikes to get a bad quote archived, to have a premature 5-star quote disliked down to 2.4 and under.

My quotes on Big Iron beat out historical civil rights quotes like MLK on the "Best Quote" list, for crying out loud!

Disliking a quote with 2 or less stars will boost its rating! I'm not even sure we can archive quotes by disliking if this is the case.

You may not have seen this thread here:
https://www.keyhero…Some changes were made to eliminate the issue where a single downvote would instantly banish a quote forever. So, quotes with few ratings are "weighted" toward the middle (i.e., 3). After they have a few ratings, the weighting is removed and they live or die based on their avg rating.
As mentioned in the thread referenced above, a new system is being developed in which quotes can be rated on a 1-5 scale so that more information can be gained from each rating.

2 years later, a quote romanticizing the act of offing one's self via drowning beats out MLK's civil rights Quotes for top quote spot: "Clementine Ford - Fight Like A Girl"
The future is now Netizens, I'll catch you folks at the next Sarco-Pod shin-dig.

If you don't like a quote, then the best thing you can do it give it 1 or 2 stars. Very few quotes get even 10 ratings, so your vote can make a very big difference.
