The main cause of this H20 nonsense is the favorite artist list in my view. People automatically get an e-mail from their friends that a new image has been posted, they then follow the link, comment, rate, fawn, vote and then leave again without ever looking at the other images. Far from helping create a community, the favorite artist list does nothing more than create cliques and should be removed. The arguments that I've heard say that people don't have time to look at all the images posted and they only have time to look at the images posted by their friends and a select few quality artists - if this is the case then the whole rating and voting structure is worthless. Best thing that could be done for the renderosity community (in my view) is to remove the favorite artist list facility and force people to open their eyes and actually look at the other images, maybe then this open warfare will stop.
