I'm going to put up a link to my latest story. I've been hesitating to advertise it. Now, I figure, "Aw, what the hell..."

I don't know who the trolls are but I think I know their motivation. I think they do it to lower other peoples' scores in hopes of boosting themselves up the ratings. I've been watching. I see the patterns.
As far as I'm concerned, the voting system is flawed on several levels. I'm not out to start a discussion on why I think so. Suffice it to say that I'm not in it for the ratings or the prize money.
I'm in it (writing stories) to get people hot.
I know a group of on-line friends who come to Literotica.com to read my stories and others similar but are not necessarily members themselves. They contact me privately and tell me what they think. When they write and tell me that they got horny reading one of my stories I put another notch in my keyboard.
I play this game for the personal satisfaction of collecting notches in my keyboard. So far, I have over a dozen.
But if you want to objectively judge your approval ratings by statistics on this site alone, you can safely ignore the voting/ratings system and look at the readership numbers. I find that the great majority of readers are silent in the voting and commenting arenas. But, every time your story gets read, comment, vote or nothing, it gets counted.
Readership is the real measure of success, AFAIC.
