I too would like to thank Guitta for taking such prompt action over the person who hyped his own images under different assumed names, and then had the temerity to make an immediate return from his ban by making a tiny and obvious change to his username. (BTW, why are we so shy of actually naming names here? - I'll go along with what appears to be the convention, but I see no reason to shield the identity of a cheat - and in fact the previous sentence makes it pretty clear to all who saw the posts who we are talking about.) Thankfully, I have not personally noticed the other reported outbreak of trolling to gratuitously down-rate other people's images. If the perpetrator can be discovered, he/she should be given similarly summary justice and banned forthwith. To Djeser and others who may share his unease, please remember it's only one (or now maybe two) rotten apples in the barrel. The rest seem pretty sound individuals to me, and the Forum remains a pleasant and helpful place to visit each day. Don't let the misguided and dishonest activities of the occasional rogue spoil your enjoyment or participation in the Forum. It is after all a microcosm of society as a whole, so inevitably the occasional bad guy will turn up. It is sad that a few people seem to have such fragile egos and craving for public acclamation that they are prepared to stoop to such levels. They are not only rather pathetic figures, but also very naive. It is seldom that their activities will go unnoticed for long, and once reported a ban and/or public shaming are the very likely, and wholly appropriate, results; I am all in favourof a zero-tolerance policy. It is even sadder when the individual concerned actually has talent and produces good work anyway, so has little to benefit and everything to lose by cheating. I wouldn't personally like to see major changes to the voting system along the lines suggest by Sacada just to combat such nefarious activities, which I like to feel are very much a minority thing. I think if we are vigilant and do not hesitate to report evidence of such rigging or false claims, that should suffice, given, as is clear by the present case, that the admininstration is swift to act when notified. However, I have not been here long enough to remember a time when the ranking was not anonymous. Re-introduction of identifiable rankging (and votes) does not seem to me an unreasonable premise. I have personally never used any ranking lower than Good, because like Djeser I believe in saying nothing if I have nothing positive to say. And I see no reason why if we are prepraed to make a ranking or give a vote, we should not be equally prepared to sign our name to it. So I would support that proposal.
