I hate Sigma 6. But I'd never badly rate a S6 image. Or think my work superior to it because it isn't what I like. Give people their due... If the pic is fine, but features Joe's we don't like then so what? It deserves a high rating, give it one. Who are we to dismiss a picture just because we don't like the subject? Everyone puts a lot of time and effort into taking pictures, so be thoughful of that before you badly rate a picture of Ice Cream Soldier or someone awful like that... 99% (I hope) Of the users on Joedios are here for the love of all things Joe and wouldn't be so petty to badly rate a pic because their favourite figure isn't it, be them s6 lovers or anti s6, or vice versa.

Not all Pics uploaded are for the Target Range firing squad to give their thoughts on the subject of the picture.

As a community, we should get into the spirit of the site and quit with the arrogance?

If people on Joedios are truely like what lehsreh describes then please speak up. I don't wanna be part of a site where the community is that selfish.

The fact users may do such a thing makes me more angry and confused than I was about my the unexplained bad ratings my photo's got.

Quite simply, it's utter Pish.

i understand what you are saying, and i did not mean that i would give a sigma 6 a 1 star rating, just that if it were sitting beside a pic of a 3 3/4 pic of the same quality and i had to give one a 5 star it would be the latter. and as you said that you would not want to be part of a community where people are "petty", i think the same can be said for this place if everyone gave everybody a 5 star rating just because they do not want to hurt ones feelings. as i said before, my pic didnt get 5 stars, nor did i expect it to, its just not that good. if this site is a place where no one can give what they truely think for a rating and we cant take a lil bad criticism then i do not think i would want to be here. we are not kids, not everyone is gonna think the same about every pic, dio or whatever. lets all be grown up and let people do and say what they truely believe in, isnt freedom of expression an american right?
