The reason some of us don't put ratings is because you get the occassional troll that up and puts a 2 or a 3 on a pic for no reason. No comments just a bum rating. Basing the Top 20 on the ratings would also cause bad feelings when this sort of thing occurs. Wizz has one good idea (the comments) and Rose's idea of doing away with it is another. Allen9 has a very good point about the thumbs, there have been pics make it to the Top 20 with a thumb that has absolutely nothing to do with the pic.
