Hi JavaJones, Thanks for your input. I agree with the opt.in idea. We will be looking at it. I also liked your suggestion about creating an aggregate system that counts and weighs much more than simply votes. That does have merit and is something that will be seriously considered when looking at the best way to update that system. As for artistic integrity, I see where you are coming from and truly understand your desire to inspire people to work at their craft seriously. As a site that fosters education, we do wish to create a positive atmosphere where artists can grow. However, I am not certain that trying to enforce that growth by applying subjective standards to people's art, or censoring people's gratuitous comments would be the best way to go. Thank you very much for taking the time to post and let us know your thoughts. Best wishes, Lillian
