Ive been a LONG TIME registered user of this site but mostly just as a lurker till I recently left my other forum due to crazy amounts of spam and garbage posts... Is this site slowly headed down that road too???
How is it that a good picture (ie Bonovox's nunn) can be voted down and replaced by a bunch of rubbish (no offense intended to anyone personally). Not only that but it seems the same three or four users appear MULTIPLE times on the top page... Does it make you feel better to vote on your own photos and push them to the top? or vote on other photos and push them down.... WHERES THE FUN IN THAT??? And the end of the day YOU know who you are and should quite frankly be embarrassed that you have to manipulate votes to get any attention to your picture.
For a little while I had some pictures up but decided to delete them because as soon as I post something there is an immediate ONE posted to it... I'm no super camera phone photog but the pictures I posted CERTAINLY weren't a "1."
Unfortunately this childish behavior makes me (and I'm pretty sure likely others as well) not want to participate in sharing our photos. Or maybe it is just me and my perception of the "close" group here isn't really that accurate....
Thoughts, corrections... new perspective??? Im curious about others thoughts on this or if indeed, its "just me" that notices this?

I did notice that it went back in stars but never looked further.
In photo-section it's meant to vote only once.

Thats really shameful for ESATO.  This is the place where we all should be honest, honest with ourselves and with others as well.

I have noticed that too...
But despite what happens in the photo section, just because a photo isn't #1 doesn't mean that it isn't very good.

True.. but when new users join the boards or visitors stop by.... do we want them seeing our "Average" stuff in the top list as far as what some of these phones can do?? I think it would benefit the community to have the WOW stuff on the "top" page so new users are more inclined to participate in discussions and maybe learn how to create GREAT images themselves... not learn how to manipulate the system to have their average stuff on top.... but that's just me
cheers

True... what would be nice is to have the voting results visible to everyone, not just the owner of the photo... and then if you click on each bar (ie 1-10) you can see which voters gave you which rating.... this would (IMO) make people maybe more aware of whos dolling out all the "1's" and if there is a pattern..... maybe even require constructive feedback to be entered if scoring an image less than 3 and if scoring more than 8, require coments on what makes that a 9 or 10 for you... I think a lot could be learned and shared that way.... just a thought....

Sooner or later you'll have the answer to this. This is something that's been bothering me too. Not because my photos are not in the first top 10 page, it just that some unfairness has been done here.
We, the mods, have caught some of the members here cheating in the photo gallery before. But there will be something very useful to stop this soon.

There is work in progress.
We don't see the Mods all the time but it's made clear again they do more as we know. Thanks for being there.
