I didn't make nasty comments, and if you BOTHERED to read the comments posted in mine, you will see I get critisism in my gallery as well. I don't get all bent out of shape, rather I USE those comments to better my work instead of whining like a child about being harrassed. I'm not in the hot 20 precisely because I don't cheat. I don't have an army of buddies poised to jump onto a posted image and vote willy nilly until my image hits the hot 20. Oh, I suppose I could, but what exactly would that say about my art? The REAL votes from the ESTABLISHED artists are what mean something to me. What if they don't vote? Well I guess then I should work harder and USE those constructive comments to fix my images. Its all about "credibility". With 5 uninspired basic poser images in the gallery, it speaks VOLUMES for your credibility. Don't believe me? Ask around. I'm not out for "popular". I want to be the BEST I can be. If that means my art isn't good enough to vote into the hot 20, well so be it.
