As regards, comments , ranks and Votes......... I seriuosly feel, and in this respect would agree with vicki and sylvie...... that most of the comments that go into gallarys and most of the ranks and votes........ are motivated to a great extent to the artist under perview. With each post, you see a name too and no one dares to criticise the work of a pro or popular and none bothers to critic or comment some of the good work of art and they go unnoticed. I recently sold two photos of mine, not through renderosity or anything but which got it's display in the gallary at renderosity and someone contacted me and wanted to buy those images and as a result I had to remove them from the gallary as a part of agreement. These never made it to the top 20s, these were not heavily commented or praised but I guess whoever chose to buy it had some usefulness of it and it suited their bill sort of. So, I guess it really din't matter if it was liked by the masses or not. Then again, I think there is a way out of all this mess, if someone really tries hard. How about having a Genere wise gallary that carrys no name tag for the first week of post and then only showin inthe artists gallary? maybe, that will get us the real cream?? an unbiased opinion and rating?? I do not know how feasible it is and I doubt if someone is seriously going to consider it even but tere seems to be no recourse to this issue at hand. SNAKEY
