Well, I think there is a misunderstanding somewhere or else this has reached down to the bottom of your soul. First of all, I rarely vote, and whenever I do it, I don't vote on the H20, because I understand that the images exposed there have had enough of voting. Even where at the top of the page says something like "x votes within the required period" which makes me understand that there is a time period in which the votes affect a work to be on the H20, and after that nothing will happen than send the image itself to the most voted images page. But anyway, I don't see what disturbs you (or anyone else) as much as to stay saying what should and what not shouln't be on the tops (H20, most visited, most voted, etc...). It is just a reference, nothing else. When I first visited renderosity.com the most viewed or voted (I don't actually remember the thing) images where one called "Ugolino", some made by Luciferino and the rest which did not impress me as much as these both where great too indeed. The thing is that the fact only encouraged me to visit the galleries of the mentioned artists, I admire them since then, and I follow their work from time to time. That's all. I'm aware there are many excellent artists I admire, but their best quality is not the art their produce, is the evolution you may find from the first posts to the last ones. And I think the H20 is only the example of a trend of what the public wants to see that have actually nothing to do about what the artist mean to express. About cheating... cheat is presumably bad and inappropriate. But it seems that cheaters cannot be persuaded... because there always appear new kind of cheats and people ready to practise them. About the limitations, I don't wholly agree, if an artist can make various works (and I don't care of their quality, because the quality of art is actually subjective (as the voting) and the art is not an status by itself) that make people vote for them. Go ahead. Changes no chages: everything must change to keep things the same. There will always be frustrated people because there always have been. Now is the H20, tomorrow whatever... But as I said before I don't think that the subject of this frustration (anger, envy...) is the H20, but just a way show it up.
