Haven't did the log-out-log-in, but right now I can access every section of the site except the main page, which still gives me the same message. |
I think I just fixed that. Please LMK.

Everything seems to be working fine now. Thanks :)

SWEET! Thanks for helping me troubleshoot, Jay.

mmm, i really dont see what the big deal is. i mean the rating thing is asking what we think of a pic, right? it doesnt mean how well the pic was taken. i have given a lot of 5 stars, but i have given some low ones too. its not only to do with the pic quality but also whats in the pic. that will change what the rating is for each person. say if a pic is taken well and has say sci fi in it. well for me that may be a 5 star pic since i love sci fi. however if someone hated sci fi beyond all understanding, then that pic wouldnt be so marvelous. i mean the pic may be well, but he would'nt really like it enough for 5 starts since he wouldnt like it because of the character. so really the pic thing is no big deal. i mean i only posted 1, it doesnt have 5 starts, it just means that someone didnt like the background, the characters or maybe it was a lil fuzzy, or all 3. actually, it is a lil fuzzy, but ive saw a lot worse get 5 starts, that just leaves the other two, i understand this. i know it wasnt worth 5 stars. i mean look at the pics speir has posted. no way in the world do i have the poto taken abilities he does. his is like a pro compared to mine. but what do i think, i like mine better just because i hate the fact that sigma 6 has taken over my 3 3/4 line. so if i had to put a sorta fuzzy pic with my fav 3 3/4 characters against his superb photo quality, id still give the former the best rating.

Ratings System
Ok, I've been through the threads/posts on the forum, as to not start a new flame war or anything.
It seems we still have a trouble with the ratings system. However. Since Hammerfel actually changed status to 52 active members (months ago) as veterans. That meant you have to be logged in to rate the picture. No non members could rate pics. So my question is this, is it possible for mods/admins site owner to find out whos been downrating pictures? I aint trying to stir crappola. I just believe in the H.I.C Honesty Inspiration Competition Most of my pictures that were 5's have dropped to 3's.. with no significant post accompanying them to state why .. I could ignore it.. but i'd rather be told this is the site norm.. (I'm hoping it's not). Almost everyone here is striving for a better forum a better experience and better photo's.. so why can't we use the ratings system fairly? Example.. my picture here: http://www.joedios.com/dioramas/sho...r&imageuser=755 This got 3* This needs work, I already know this.. because i really didnt think the picture turned out so great, I just wanted to show Red Jackal meeting up with the bad guys.. no harm.. but then I get this: http://www.joedios.com/dioramas/sho...r&imageuser=755 Action Force stalker isn't an easy figure to take a picture of.. I did try with this one and for the most part I think I nailed it.. yet this only got a 3* and at one point it had a 5*. :rolleyes: If we are to "Just ignore it" what really is the point in it being there at all? Almost every rating i've ever handed out has been my a summary of my overal thought. Accompanied usually by a post with my thoughts. Now i appreciate not everyone has the time to sit there and rate as well as post comments accompanying each one.. that's granted.. but again.. I can't stress this enough... last time i checked alot of the veteran members had given up the ratings system.. primarily because of the "A$$ clowns" and "Down-Graders" so if this is the case again.. if we have to take a vote on it.. lets get G.S to setup a thread and poll. Don't ignore this post, at 52 active members.. that's a fairly small community.. and this is nothing we can't sort out.. this low rating thing has to stop.. and we can and do have the means to stop it. What are peoples thoughts on it? I know it supposed to have been sorted but I don't think we've reached a solution to it.. am I deluded into thinking we are all capable of honest ratings? Post your thoughts here.. Thanks for reading and responding. Rich |
Eh, some people are just jerks. I often get low ratings on pics that get good comments from other people. I stopped paying attention to those ratings and just focus on the picture itself, and leave a comment if I have something to say beyond just "good pic!" or "needs work".
Were it up to me, honestly, the ratings would be removed altogether. Just ignore it. |
