Voting on Content

Voting on Content       The front page contains content that has been voted highly by users of the site.  The only way for content to be displayed on the front page, is by recieving a high vote average.  Formly, voting content to the front page has been somewhat confusing, with titles such as "node moderation".       Now, voting is much easier!  The site uses a fancy 5-star rating system.  The more stars, the better the chances of it making it to the front page.       To vote something, click on a star.  Stars on the right are higher scores.  Stars will also shade in yellow as you hover over them     Thats it.  One click and its done.

front page threshold?

What is the threshold that must be reached for an item to be promoted to the front page?

so...... what's the front page threshold?

You'd think this is a repost, but I'd really like some light shed on the math behind this feature. For example, I just voted 1 star on a piece of content that i didn't want to see on the front page and that was the tipping point to promote it (it already had 2 votes of 5 stars). I would have thought that leaving a low rating would, well, lower the rating... not have the exact opposite effect.
