I don't think an ignore list or friends only list is a good idea. if you want only your friends to see them, email it to them.  This is a free to all gallery, which is rosity's strongest point, imho. I take everyones comments as a compliment that they would spare my work the minute or two to leave something.  If you don't want them to comment, ask them not to. This is easy for me to say as I havn't experienced someone pestering me, or anothers inanity yet I suppose. If my comments border on the ignorant or inane, I hope someone will not hesitate to ask me to move on.

Back to wish list...right now, the rating system means jack to me. I get more feedback from comments and total viewings.

I've only seen the rare sub 4 rating. Now, ratings don't mean a hell of a lot, but when I get say, 20 views, 10 comments, 10 ratings and a rating of 5.0...I'm a bit lost, a top notch rating when only half the people viewing thought it worth commenting?? What did the other 10 viewers think??

Someone else suggested this, the ability to anonymously rate an image. I would like to get low ratings as well as high ratings. Comments are great, good or bad. But people, including myself, hold back from saying anything constructive or negative, because there is a situation of you comment mine, I comment yours. Now, while I don't like the idea of anonymous comments, anonymous ratings would at least be a step.
