"Yes, when half the comments have VOTE written in them (when voting ought to be anonymous) you know that it is simply the tit-for-tat squad going around and buying each other's praise and pandering themselves."

Not everyone is "buying each others praise". I've had the "vote" comment on my images and I don't play the hot 20 game.

Hope you aren't knee-jerk judging the wrong people there.
