i think like most places, the real meaning and idea behind the first post is completely lost on some people. who cares who the person who wrote it is? basicly seems like they are saying they are not going to be complacient and say nothing about dishonesty and following the masses. Anyones whos advice is oh well just deal instead of trying to instigate change is just as bad. The top twenty is supposed to reflect the best of this site and it doesnt,does anyone even give two shits ? i think some people are focusing on some minor not important points in that post. its not who it is, or if their images get into top twenty it's more about unfairness, in a place where it should be about the ART. Seeing amazing artists getting very little reconition for their amazing contributions to this site, Honesty shouldnt be crucified when it goes against the masses if the opinion is honest. how can we change that? can it be changed? If you say you dont care what others think or if you get comments why do you post in a public gallery that focuses on comments, why not make a private web page where people can just look? I think alot of people post here to get help by constructive comments and encouragement so that they can develop and grow. The flocking to the "popular" artists just to stroke egos by giving them comment number 100 on image 300 that looks the same as the previous 299 is really non productive and doesnt encourage growth and development. Some of these people post several times a day and I rarely see them take the time to comment on others. To me, this looks like a butt kissing session than a display of qaulity art.If they arent doing for ego sake maybe they should disable comments. isnt the point of poser gallerys anyways to display poser images and not images that have been totally redone in postwork. Shouldnt that be mixed media or photoshop? just my humble opinion :)
