The Hot 20 has always been about ego stroking here for the most part, and it's pathetic, because it's unrealisticly biased and based on butt kissing.
The Poser Hot 20 is the worst for this, always has been and always will be.

My solution is simple and I assure you it would WORK.

Everyone that gets their Poser artwork into the Hot 20 here, also gets their work posted for a wonderful complementary critique at this website.. http://raph.com/3dartists/artgallery/

All the egos would fly way out the window in a flash; you'd probably see many folks doing all they could NOT to get into the Poser Hot 20 ever again.
