I also got a big surprise when my picture got disqualified yesterday. I was even there when it happened. I logged in, and saw my current stats. Read a couple of posts, and then loaded the home page again and there was the most surprising message I've seen. My picture got disqualified.
I just want to say two things:
The reason I got disqualified was for using three borders instead of two (which is the max allowed). I didn't even notice when I did this, for it wasn't on purpose. The borders where tiny: one black pixel, 5 purple pixels, 1 black pixel. I accept my mistake and the disqualification, but I wonder how many people look for the tiniest detail just to disqualify pictures, and I mean details beyond the real faking of a picture. Anyway, my picture wasn't doing so good, it wasn't as if it was going to place in the top of the list.
The other thing I wanted to say is that I didn't even get an email notifying me about the disqualification. I know that DPC sends emails to request for the original image to analize for faults, and I also know that mine didn't need the original image to veirfy if I put threee borders on it.
But still, I think that email is needed to notify the user. What if I didn't log in on Sunday and didn't get to see the disqualification message? What if I log in on Monday and look for my place on the challenge results and I can't find my picture anywhere?
Admins, please read this and take this suggestion.

I just want to make a suggestion for the admins, and I don't know if people missed my post. |

| I also agree that a DQed photo should get e-mail. I think this only because we receive e-mails for submissions received. I guess the admins may just be a little optimistic that no one will get DQed so they never thought of such a notification. Can't blame them. Sorry about the border thing, you're not the first to be DQed for such a thing. |

Jenarom, I am going to believe that one of the admins noticed and it is there job to remove. I would hate to think that someone could be so petty as to report someone and get them DQ'd for a 1 pixel black border. That would be real weak...
That stinks, you'll get them next time.

Never look directly at an elipse.

Thanks. At least it doesn't stay in my profile.
