contest scores

I am not sure that showing the average score on the contest before I vote - increases my objectivity... May be it is bettter to keep it anonimous before voted?

Good Point

Cannot be done as software exists. This program can be modified, but I can't do it and I have decided not to do any outside programing for awhile until I get better participation and some more members. Trusting yours and everyone else's understanding.

I know the existing system lens itself to potential cheating, but I have access as to who votes what for whom, and there is no correlation this may be happening.

Contest scores

Lol...funny but I was thinking the same as Andrey. Very ting I rated a picture I'd think "D***" this is like cutting one's own throat. However, I have also found that it encourages one to learn and strive, to master this art, even harder. Also it helps that my Mom is there whispering in my ear..."Honesty is the best policy Elizabeth"...grin

OK

You are missing a point Beth. You do not have to make a comment and just rate. Nobody but me knows where that rating came from. Or, you can comment, not vote, come back later and vote. If you have already voted, the system will not let you do it again. I just wish we would do this in the spirit intended. I analyze this, I have not seen any trends yet. Play fair and do the right thing. This is to have fun. I do have a ploy to (stop the Aussies and Brits from winning so much)Tee Hee
