Almost all of my recent pictures were voted down in a row. Not the first time it's happened. Everyone is entitled to his/her point of view, but when pictures are voted down by the group, it just makes me sad and annoyed. I don't understand what someone thinks he/she gains from it. |

What does it mean to vote it down? I have enjoyed your pictures! You have a unique style that I couldn't even attempt to duplicate. Don't let it get you down. I'm sure the majority of think drawers appreciate your work! |

Really sorry for what's happened. Rachel should remove the 1 to 5 vote once and for all. I would only agree with at most 4 and 5. |

How about non-anonymous voting? By this I mean that usernames are visible with the votes. Can somebody think of a way? For example, on a board I am on, we have thread with polls, and the poll starter can make the poll public. First click you see the poll results. But click on any poll option and you see who voted for that option. |

Thanks for the support. I'm over the down-voting, which usually is "4" votes, not "1" votes, enough to push the pic out of "5" stars and further back in the gallery pages; it's been a while since I've been "1" voted. I was having a bad day today; so, i guess I was oversensitive and the negative voting all at once bothered me more than it should have. I appreciate that people enjoy my pictures, and I receive plenty of positive comments and votes -- thanks for that. I draw here because it's fun; I just have to remember that |

There doesn't seem to be an easy answer to this ongoing problem, does there? I think we've all experienced the phantom low voter. Perhaps it would help to make it non-anonymous as ferrit suggests. |

I agree with clorophilla. A friend of mine has a blog, putting pictures, each pic has a 'applause' button, and it shows how many claps it has. How cute is it? |

After being around for "awhile" I think you'll find there more than a few threads on this topic. In the past I do feel it was one or two spoilsports who took things a bit too seriously. With the grand influx of "newbies" from the BBC coverage I think it is more possible that some people don't understand how the ratings work. I also agree that when you vote you should not be able to remain a nameless faceless judge. we all would like our work appreciated and for me a kind comment is worth more than a vote. I'm not talented enough to be a TOP 5 artist. I enjoy the community and the chance it gives me to clear my head before I go to sleep. Five, your stuff is great! |

I totally disapprove with this lack of fairplay...Five, Mum23, you have all my sympathy for the down-voted pics, Five. This is not an isolated case..Ocasionally mine get downvoted too, except for...I don't care much anymore. As long as there are still people who enjoy them or find them something worthy to look at/study, I believe it should be enough for me...at this point. (Not that I would mind more 5* votes, lol). I can perfectly understand why sometimes, older TD-ers get so oversensitive about their work being underrated. Maybe I should put this more explicitely, (for the newer TD-ers) just in case, the person(s) who downvote pics get to read this: some pics are study cases...they don't aim at being eye-catching. They might be valuable for the tehnique used by the artist (especially since TD has a 'thinking constraint'), they might be valuable for the details or simply for capturing things like: light, attitude, movement, details, harmony, coloring, etc, etc,etc. People tend to believe that if an artist is gifted enough to make it to Top5, then each single of his/her pics must be breath-taking, comprehensive, eye-catching. That is not so...the more you draw, the more fascinated you get with 'the process'. Building it up from the mind is challenging. Blending colors is more than a 'child's play'. Volumes, shapes, distance, space, attitude, atmosphere...they all come down to what real artists STUDY. Not everybody on this site has a background in art, so for most of us, it's a try-mistake-keep trying thing. Not knowing much about art, shouldnt be an excuse for downvoting though... |

I would think that the 1-5 ratings would sum to a total at the end adding up every time instead of detracting. If not I have sabotaged my own work after finding that I could vote on myself. Is there a way to categorize like the voting process on "Iron chef" 1. imagination/creativity 2. visual aspects... 3. use of tools... etc. (whatever is needed). Just a thought. |
