Yes, I see that too. It did work for a while though so it isn't completely hopeless. I can't be too critical of the people who consistently make mediocre images and still dominate the hot 20. I'm sure that they are popular because they are kind, caring and loving people. How can anyone criticize that? The system needs to change. I think it was Rick who suggested that we pick a gallery to vote in in our profile. I like that. It would be more democratic. We would be voting in our own neighborhoods. I've gone back and forth about limiting the number of images that any one person can have in the hot 20 and I have concluded that it's a good idea - one a week. One other idea is to change the voting to 'yes' or 'no'. The way it is now only the 'yes' voters have a choice. All a person needs is a following of 25 and they'll make it no matter what, leaving the other 100 of us without a choice. If we could vote 'yes' or 'no', the hot 20 would be more honest. No one would need to know how many 'no' or 'yes' votes that they received. They would only see that they did or didn't make it in to the hot 20. That might make it so that the hot 20 didn't have 20 images in it. Maybe even none if everyone voted 'no' on everything. No problem. It would still boil down to popularity but at least it would be honest popularity.
