In any case,look at the wording I used "People who look to find artists for commissions and such may do just like you by just checking key areas like the Hot 20" which was stated as "may" because I never intended it to be stated they only look there.You however did point out in an earlier comment that you often don't have the time to check out the gallerys so you go to the Hot 20...well how does that make you any different than a talent scout who may have to search hundreds of sites looking for a few artists to offer an opportunity to??Answer...it doesn't,in fact they may have less time than you do when they come here because they don't have the time to check out the forums and get in debates they have no understanding of.

You say I'll never change my mind...thats because you haven't said one thing so far in favor of keeping the Hot 20 as is except that those who complain about it are envious or jealous of those who are in it.My mind won't change because I've been here a few years now seeing this thing blow up from time to time just because people want it to be more fair and you have yet to address what I've said in regards to a few changes that would make it more fair.

When this thing flares up a few things happen...

First sides get taken
Second the extreme right and left form
Third people with no idea whats going on get involved
Fourth the people making the images come under fire
Fifth admin step in to shut down the thread
Sixth the issue remains but dies down
Seventh some artists continue to hold several images at a time in the Hot 20
Eighth people start getting tired of seeing the same people dominate the Hot 20 with several images each
Ninth people begin to feel somethings wrong because other artists as good or better don't get in
Tenth someone starts a thread about it and the whole thing blows up all over again

Most people are sick and tired of it which is why we want rosity to either change it to be more fair or get rid of it so we don't have to deal with this crap over and over again when it blows up.You being a newbie wouldn't understand that and you aren't considering that the real issue is we are tired of these things blowing up every few months here for whatever reasons.

I also believe you'll reply again so answer this if you can and only this...

Whats wrong with limiting each artist to only one image in the Hot 20 so you have 20 different artists represented?Whats wrong with trying to find a way to get more new faces in the Hot 20 on a regular basis considering rosity has over 200,000 members and yet six or seven artists are the only ones in the Hot 20 on a regular basis?Thats the problem and thats why the system seems unfair~thats what the issue is and thats why the Hot 20 needs changed because as is it will always seem if not in fact be unfair!

You say you're a freelance artist...I used to be an art director,you seek opportunities~I used to provide them so who knows more about this.Next time this flares up you come back when things are still hot and say those who complain are jealous so that even the artists in the Hot 20 will grill you like an Oscar Meyer weiner~they don't ask to have so many of their images in the Hot 20 and most would like to see more artists in the Hot 20 just like the rest of us.

If the end goal of learning is genius...why are most geniuses failures at learning?
