I think they are going to be posting definitions of the genre to help clarify things for people...but as long as it is at the discretion of the person posting, you are going to get wide ranges of interpretation. I also like having a favorite artist's list. I have to admit, I am much more eager to visit a former favorite than to seek out anyone new on the lists. I tend to look at someone who has posted "look at this" on the forum than I am to sort through the galleries. I really don't think reducing the number of postings is going to significantly change things. When you are new, you tend to post more because you're excited about everything you do (at least that's been my experience). I don't know that I like the idea of discouraging new people by inferring that if everything doesn't look like a more experienced artist, it doesn't deserve to be posted. Part of the game is to learn how to improve technique. So if you don't post at the early stages, how exactly to you get an opportunity to learn how to make something better? Some people post to the forums but not everyone makes that choice (though I think thats more valuable for getting advice). Some of us just post and don't put much value into getting high numbers of views. I'd rather get just a few views from people truly interested in what Im doing than I am in getting a ton of hits because I've plastered my gallery with a bunch of plastic breasts.
