"Smooth Vertex" wrinkles mesh instead of smoothing it

Question

How is this smoother, it keeps wrinkling everything like forking pie crust

Also, could you please avoid snarky comments like the question title. This site will become very unpleasant and useless if everyone starts lashing out and mocking other people. — MarcClintDion, Nov 07 '14 at 05:23
I think it's that I give portions of the mesh more subdivisions than others; for now I'll just remember not to do that... — ball2000, Nov 07 '14 at 07:12
I'm thinking smooth vertex takes an average of connected vertices; those vertices which moved inwards were connected by an edge to the upper curve whereas those which moved downwards weren't. Rather than... I don't know, averaging infinity vertices of the suggested idealized shape? (may increase calculation time) ;) — ball2000, Nov 09 '14 at 06:18

This tool doesn't seem to like ngons (faces with more than four vertices).

Assuming you want to make the outer edge circular, instead you might try using To sphere
(⎇ Alt⇧ ShiftS):

Or you might try the bundled loops tools addon.
