For the problem of idiots giving stupid comments, that can happen from time to time and I know it's very boring when it happen to you. The best is to report these person to the moderator or to renderosity admin, if the comments is really and obviously too stupid, useless,...Comments must be constructive and usefull ...And then to try to forget, it's not easy I know ;=) Concerning the problem of ranking I never give a rank nor never allow to rank my pictures; I agree it has no real meaning. My opinion is renderosity admin should take the ratio of (number of visit / number of comments) to calculate a rank ; if a picture is very very good it will have a high percentage of comment. Of course it should be done only if the number of visits is significant (>10 or > 20). The advantage of that is very often we can see very good pictures with only a few visit (in 2D or photography gallery, but also in others...) and the ratio allow to account for that ;=) Maybe I should suggest that to renderosity admin Yves
