I fail to understand the preoccupation with what people post and how they rank/comment. This is not a professional organization, but an open community, without credential requirement. Home to novices such as myself, some with great talent and a few who over esteem their talent. Certainly it contains social subgroups, contains members who are humble and a few who are pretentious... those who are generous with their comments (for whatever reason), those who offer serious comments, and those that just can't be bothered. Maybe a less talented photog actually thinks a mediocre shot is great. Maybe some are just being kind to encourage those who are learning. So what? Where's the crime or sin? We're all free to view or not, comment/rank or not, accept comments/rankings or not. I fear the only thing this does is detract from a great place for a bunch of photographers to share their work and "hang out", regardless of their talent, ability or motives. I suggest it might help to re-read the definition of a communty.
