| Oh poppycock with hidden images that we have already voted on. I can't in any way fathom negativity of viewing an image I have already voted on with or without an award.. gimme a break. I am not blessed with the time to casually browse through the photographer list and then their individual images with the thumbnails having to be reclicked every time, sifting through subjects I did not intend on looking at... I see what I want to see after I vote on the images..click click there it is to further analyze and/or comment on ...finding out who the photog was also prompts me to want to make further comments occassionally as well. Again, the few bad eggs spoiling the bunch..why is that always the way?.. again, not trying to be cheeky..slightly irritable,,, last couple of weeks of this semester...CRUNCH time!!! and I am not getting to take many piccies and I miss it terribly..
I may not always be wRIGHTbut I am never wrong Profile -  Top 24 -

| I agree with everything Tonka has to say. I come online to showcase my work and to see the work of others. In doing so I want open and free access to all images at whatever stage of the cycle they're at. From a personal viewpoint all the added security and secrecy is a big turn off and leaves me feeling isolated. . It would seem that there is very little trust around the site these days. I'm not trusted to view active images anymore- why? Because one or two desperados have made mischief in the past. So the sins of the few are visited on the many. . I used to get great delight from viewing the Top100 without awards. That pleasure has now gone - all in the name of the integrity of the competition. The competition has never lacked integrity, just some of the competitors is all. And what worries me is that the original status quo may never return. Instead things will become less and less sociable until we are all sat before our screens wrapped in chains. . I think that the high price being paid to enhance the integrity of the competition comes at the expense of the social side - and I don't like it.

I used to get great delight from viewing the Top100 without awards. That pleasure has now gone - all in the name of the integrity of the competition. . There is no real difference in the TOP 100 w/o Awards category listings as far as the images go. The only change is that there are no photographers connected to the displayed entries. I enjoy "no knowing" the photographer of these images until I see them earn awards. . Glynn, you have even said that you expect anonymity in contest image presentation. Images with Signatures The disassociation of photographer and image in active contest entries supports this. . Tonka - as for individual viewing of active images after your vote is cast; I too see no problem there either. It might be better and more open if UNVOTED IMAGES were masked until archived and VOTED IMAGES were were made visible to individuals after their vote is cast. This was not the direction chosen by the site.
