I don't think reducing the number of images will solve the problem that some people perceive. The "art" will still be outnumbered by the "dreck" in the same proportion. There will just be a smaller pile to sift through. You can't simply force people to do work that pleases or interests you. There is no reason to believe that limited to one picture per day instead of three, someone is going to spend three times longer on that one, or that the result would be any more pleasing to some if they did. Everyone who goes through the galleries will see a ew things they really like, a few they loathe and many that they find indiferent at best. The difference is that most of them, for lack of artistic discernment, laziness or common sense aren't moved to constantly lament that fact. They don't feel some sense of deep dismay that the majority can live with what they see as medioricty. It's almost like the pious who can't pass by a den of sinners without stopping to admonish them. Now, I really believe that these folks are sincere and that it really does cause them some psychic pain to see so many naked Vickys. I believe it, but not being an artist, I suppose I will never understand it. I know that they would probably like Renderosity to be an exception to the world where you'll find far more people watching pro wrestling than Masterpiece Theater, but it isn't. Perhaps Renderosit has just become too big, too open. It's free, it's no credit card or art lessons required and anyone can post anything (within reason) that they want to. Two alternatives, start a petition drive to get the ptb to change this site or get some free/cheap server space and start another one.
