The very fact this is a topic shows the need for this type of attention. RR obviously has flaws and leans more towards who is popular rather than what is good art if in fact you are even interested in the top 20. To me this new id seems to draw on popularity and quite a few ids that have no gallery but feel the need to vote for images based on popularity vs quality of art. However as pointed out to me by one artist, opinions are very subjective not objective. Some come here for the attention others for good art. Not only that, many come here to poke fun at software or certain artists or take advantage of this flaw in RRs website only to show how needed some folks can be. Friends vote for friends or only comment on artists they like, even in the famous back room you can see favoritism of art that some one feels should be noticed over other artwork. Again very subjective IMHO. So I guess you can say it is a matter of opinion and since RR has no desire to fix such flaws you either live with it or move on to other sites that are managed with more objective fairness. Vue is a fantastic program and has such flexibility in doing a wide range of artwork not just landscapes and deserves good representation by the websites like RR. These sites use the software name to draw in thousands of people to basically make money (50% or more) off the items in the stores however, may lack the responsibility to clean up problems in the forums. As long as the money comes in it seems RR will not be changing anytime soon. My 25 cents for what its worth. Regards
