Quote - Honestly how is it an abuse?  If someone feels like giving a 1, they're entitled to give a 1.  Conversely if a few hundred people feel like giving a 5 to a very plain get well card, is that an abuse of the system?

It's abuse if they rave and gush over your image and then give a 1 for the rating.

Don't blame me. I don't make the rules. But I do know for a fact that it's against the TOS to rave and gush over images and then give a 1 for a rating.

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
