I must agree with both of you... (Weird)...

I know there are some people who put pictures that don't belong into the showcase just to get attention (though I don't really get that as it now cycles through nearly as fast as the gallery does) but I'm sure there are also people who simply don't understand how it works. It seems like often when you see pics that shouldn't be there they seem to be done by kids and frequently you'll see several grouped together by the same person.
It might help that if it was a little more clear that you don't have to submit to the showcase when submitting to the gallery.

Then how about a box on each pic in the showcase for anyone to flag up, if they think it is in the wrong place. This would operate a bit like the report system, so say five hits on the pic would flag it up to Rachel and then she makes the decision to remove it or not. Once the decision is made, the box disappears. This would stop further vindictive voting. The artist would always be able to argue their case via feedback, should they need to. As Rachel goes through the showcase, pics which are obviously correctly placed, could have their box removed by her.

Only prob with it that I see (if I understand right) is that after Rachel removes a pic from the showcase... They could just stick it back in...
