Alright saying to ignore it but when you spend time and effort the only people who should be able to comment on your efforts should be those willing to post a comment and rate it how they see fit.

The rating system need embedding into the comments section for members. This way theres no anonymous ratings or whatnot. I don't mind rating an image a 2 if it really is that bad.. but for the most part the work done by the members on this site is of really good consistency.

I have actually stopped uploading pictures here now.. and don't plan to unless this is addressed. It seems a major flaw in the whole process.

On a side note.. Dave your work is very inspiring.. some of your shots are eerily good and the wet suit one I saw earlier reminded me of a cinema/film style shot.. I really enjoy the photos you put out and hope that you continue to share with the community but Me personally I can't put my work out at the moment because I dont feel justified to let some two bit guest or unknown slate it.. this is very

to see.

I thought this site was for us to post photos and gives opinions. So are we now going to refer these kinda of things to Hammerfel. Well in that case only 3 people relpied to this post http://www.joedios.com/forums/showthread.php?t=521 and no one rated it. I posted countless photos and some get good replies other (most of the time) get smart a-- remarks. Now this photo if it's the Cobra Imp picture it's too dark. If there's other activity in the picture I can't see it. Maybe my eyes are bad or my monitor is bad I know I'm not afraid of the dark. So I guess that makes me an a-- clown for giving MY OPINION. So my point is not everyone is going to like your pictures...sorry if this offends you, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

I just see that as cowardly... and a slap in the face.

Be it your opinion or not. I understand that people don't have the time or interest to rate or comment on EVERY picture out there. What fun would it be for Blowtorch or anyone elseto repeat over and over, "I find your shot boring." (I'm not picking on you, Blowtorch) Like I am recommending, please PM Hammerfel about the rating system. Due to the mass problems it seems to be causing, I'm all for getting rid of it.

LOL! I could just see a lurker creating like 10 accounts to just spam the pics around here! I'm suprised it hasn't happened already! I wouldn't stress over the ratings. It's like our fitness Reports in the Marine Corps. They have number ratings, but how accurate are they? One CO could be pumping your score up because he likes you and your next could put you in the gutter because he's a hard ass. The Comments hold a lot more weight! I only rate a pic if I comment. And if you really wanna, I say you "out" the Smacktards! LOL!

Jay Still 100% Twitter-free.

As such, until a solution's been found, I'm pretty much going to take down all my pics. Just pisses me off that someone'd be such a punk that they'd go through all my archived pics (and I'm guessing other people have this problem too) just to give low ratings. Maybe I'll start posting my own pics again when a solution's been found, but until then I'll just stick to looking at other people's pictures and commenting every now and then. __________________ RIP Minouche, 1994-2009.

rds13601 I'm insane Offline --> Posts: 3,125 --> Join Date: Dec 2006	Confused I like your pics Jay. By not posting your pictures you are giving tremendous power to the douchebags that don't like them. It is important not to take bad comments personally. I think it takes guts to set up a picture and upload it. If I had a camera and knew how, I would. You contribute to this site in a positive way!!! Keep on doin it!! Don't let the douchebags win!!!!

I agree you shouldn't take them to heart. It took balls to post a pic so why let someone ruin that for you. I get smart a$$ remarks from certain people all the time. Like some of the comments here http://www.joedios.com/dioramas/sho...r&imageuser=183
but you don't see me pulling every pic, or whining because someone didn't rate my pic the way I wanted. I got pics up now that I thought were great but only one person replied to it and it has no rating. So does that mean I pull every pic? It's called an opinion we all have one.

BTW did anybody stop to think that maybe the guy who rated GIJock's pics wasn't comfortable about posting comments yet. (Honestly I found some too dark and stated so.) To be honest every one of you have been unfair about this you've singled this guy out and ripped him apart (ie calling him a douchebags, an a$$ clown) Can any of you prove this guy did this out of spite ? He could have another member to the site, but after reading some of the comments here I don't know if I even want to continue being apart of this site.
