"Obviously doesn't dent the popularity contest aspect since they post as a group" Do not the yahoo group junkies and such have to create accounts before they can vote? Why not impose a one week to month wait period before a newbie can vote on an image (but still view, post pix, etc etc.) This way, even if all the junkies got new accounts anyway, most would forget about voting later on, and the image would slip into oblivion. Of course this would not stop those who already exist,but it's a start to keep new problems from cropping up, yes? /P
