To Stacey,

On thinking this over again I'm not sure how my suggested calculations could be applied because if someone puts on 3 images in one week then I can't see how the formula would work as you wouldn't know which of the 3 images to apply the percentage adjustment to.

You couldn't even just apply it to their latest one either because if someone puts on an image and then doesn't upload for another month but still continues commenting then they will be penalising themselves with every comment they make.

My only other suggestion at the moment  is just to show the top image of each of the art chart artists, ie if someone has 10 images in the most commented chart then just show their top commented image with a footnote to say that this is the top one of 10 of theirs. This way you would always have 100 different artists images on show in the top 100 which is a far better showcase for true talent and falls in line with what PhilW has just posted. Visitors to the charts would then just click on the artists name under the image to see their gallery.

This to me seems much fairer, but I know I may be upsetting quite legitimate artists who currently have more than one image in the charts.

Any other suggestions from anybody will be welcome.

Tony.
