This post is of course for anyone interested but primarily for those who who have control over such things. Is it possible to request a 'disable checkbox' to prevent voting on your own image for the 'Hot 20?'

it has been suggested & was sent on to admin... maybe a post in the community center will show there are more interested in having this option :]

side panel, at the bottom, forums- admin forums drop down box- community center a good place to post questions & suggestions that apply to the entire site :]

This has been brought up a few times with the moderators and admin. Suggestions were to voice concerns in the Community Center as cynlee said. we have been tossing some ideas around as how to do this. I do know there has been some site renovations and the programmers probably have not had time to address this issue. Once again I will take this back and see how we can come to a solution.

If you are talking about disabling votes as an option Great idea .. I think we need something new myself as the whole thing is a farce as people can use a clone making it all rather pointless

Just a thought....and often My simple thoughts upset the Apple Cart....but...I see that those that dominate the Hot 20...are the ones most wanting it stopped. My advice is that You refrain from leaving the vote as a Public Display....VOTE....then perhaps, that Person will not feel "Obligated" to Vote back...the old..."you scratch My back...I will scratch Yours" This of course is just an Opinion....OMG! WOW!!!! You may just vote that it is the right one :]
