I think the voting thing is as accurate a way as possible to get the feel for what the average reader thinks of your story. Like so many others have said why get hung up on a couple of low scores, it just takes away from what you are really trying to achieve.
If you have checked out the profile of the voter and found that they consistantly dole out low votes, perhaps that individual is a stickler for Spelling, Grammar, and is more critical of the typical components required to create a story that flows smoothly. If you are writing to achieve the highest score on the site then it might be worthwhile to take some writing instruction or to use an EDITOR if you can find one, and if that does not do it for you... work on being able to accept the vote.
I must say that I have read a number of stories that have had a high average rating of over 9, and found it incredibly hard to follow, continually distracted by spelling errors, or improper use of a word... and in some cases I have found writers getting their charachters mixed up. Sure the story might be HOT but there were enough errors to be more than just a bit distracting. That story will get a low score from me, and as often as possible a comment explaining it.
I too write to achieve a high readership and an above average score but my first goal is to enjoy the story that I write myself.
Sorry for the annonymous post, but I forgot my log in info.
