Hmm, sam/tjohn I know where you are coming from with the trolls, my first 'summer's last breath' pic, which was nowhere near the second one I posted recieved all excellents, the second recieved all excellents and a 1. dropping it to a great but frankly I really didn't care, I post with the rating box clicked so that hopefully people will rank it how they truly feel, I didn't think it deserved a one, and maybe not a 10, but, if this person really hated the image, I believe they have every right to do that. I said number system, because I am not quite sure the words express the nature of the vote. About the being extremely critical of new posters, yes I can tell that this is an issue, you want to encourage them, but lets face it, you can't baby someone. If they post a picture that is sub par, you shouldn't give them a 5 and make your comment say crappy work, do better... If I give anyone a poor rating (below 10) I point out why, I tell them how the problem could be fixed or how the image could be bettered in general, and this is how I wish my images were voted as well.. Instead of just passing by if you don't like it, TELL ME WHY! =P I'd much rather see a few that like it, and many more that explain why they don't, then 2 10's and no feedback. I hope you see what I'm getting at here, I am fighting a losing battle with my dog to stop going nuts over my cat that keeps swatting it while I am typing this. About the ads, one day my grandmother heard that I do a lot of this work, and she wanted to see, but I was extremely hesatant to give her the link to the site because of all these rather provocative ads, so I just sent her the images instead, but still...I know sex sells, I have a girlfriend, I love it..I mean her! But, some just doesn't seem apropriate, sorry for my lack of enthusiasm in the sex ads =P.
