I found myself annoyed at another good picture being down-voted, and still annoyed a little while later. It would be nice if I didn't feel annoyed, as we really can't control how anyone votes for our pics, but I do. |

This sounds like a marvelous idea to me. |

I can't draw much any more but I have to agree with your idea, I would still like to pick fav's and comment though! |

Good idea, five!! |

Yes, autumn, I'd leave comments and favorites -- just disallow the voting. |

This is a good Idea, top 5 can be picked on favourites. |

I meant a way to simply opt pictures out of voting altogether. They would not be eligible for top 5. At least the way I was thinking. |

Think Draw... This is a GREAT suggestion... How difficult would it be to do??? We could check a box when we submit a pic that would "hide" the voting boxes from the viewers... |

Since 'down-voting seems to be the cause of the problem, why noy fix just that? Revise the voting so that 5 is the only option other than to abstain. Seems ideal to me as nobody wants less than a five anyway. That would eliminate a lot of hurt feelings. |

The only problem with that is how do you specify "Offence"? Anyone can argue that they voted with a 1 because that's what they thought the pic was worth. Logically no one votes with a 1 because why bother voting at all if it made that little impression on you but as long as the 1 vote is available then it's feasible that someone will use it honestly. It's one of those shades of grey kind of problems. I don't think we could start policing this fairly unless the 1 vote was off the table althogether and there was only the option of a Thumbs Up vote, but if that were the case then we wouldn't need to police it at all. |

Hmm.. |

Whoops, sorry.. |

I know I certainly wouldn't want the responsibility being that type of 'leader'. I think you're right marg, that would likely only lead to hard feelings and accusations of unfairness. |

As to what an "offense" would be... a single one vote would not be an offense, it could just be an opinion... but ten votes & nine of them are ones, that would be a red flag... an overseer would pivately inform the offender how the voting scale works to insure that they understand that a 1 vote is not a high mark. also let them know that voting down pics enmasse is not tollerated & that we have punishments in place to insure that their actions dont continue... in MOST cases, that 1st interjection will solve the problem, because most downvoters either don't know they are voting wrong or unaware that they are being watched... On the very rare occassion it does not, the punnishments will slowly weed the problem voters out... |

and no ONE overseer would have power to ban anyone... the overseers would work as a group. they would all see if there is true abusive voting with disregard for anything else... then come to a consensus... |

FYI: they could also probably do something about the people that have 10+ accounts that are made to vote themselves up with... (see IP addresses all the same) |

Nah.. sorry, Matthew.. |

Sorry matthew, I agree wholeheartedly with marg. The system isn't broken ... it simply needs a little tweaking on the voting procedure. A click for a vote (no 1-5 rating) would solve the issue once and for all. |

I agree with Login and Marg. Surely there is enough red tape in the world without dragging it into TD . |
