Just for that, I'm knocking your score down a few notches!
Seriously... no, we do not have ANY ability to affect the scoring in ANY way at all, other than DQ'ing images entirely.

There are a number of reasons we may need to know that information.
As one example, we may get a photograph that looks to be out of season (a summer photograph taken in the winter or vice versa). If we see that the user is from New Zealand, that adequately explains the situation and there's no need for us to pursue the issue at all.
Another example would be two photographs of the same subject being submitted to a challenge. If a check shows that the submitters were two people that were at the same GTG, odds are we won't bother them for proof.
Sometimes we receive DQ requests indicating that a viewer saw a photograph "somewhere" before the challenge dates. Knowing who the photographer is makes it possible for us to do some preliminary research and determine if we have reason to suspect a date violation.
We've also had an increase in troll comments recently. If someone complains about inappropriate comments in the forums, being able to track down their entry and review the comments they've received tells us if there's an issue we need to pursue.
I certainly respect your position on this, and can only assure you that whenever we need to look at the ownership or details of a photograph, we vote before doing it (if we're voting at all).
Drew and Langdon have been reluctant to appoint a "main" or "head" Site Council person, and as far as those of us on SC are concerned, it is them. Personally, I believe that us making these decisions as a group reduces the overall chance for bias or favoritism. I also can't think of anyone on the Site Council who would like to serve in that position, and become the lightning rod for the ire of everyone who gets disqualified.

I see your point.

| I would imagine that the SC has over and over again proved their integrity as well as maturity in dealing with issues. Even in the face of sometimes uncalled for 'attacts', these people unselfishly just continued serving, correct serving, us. Kudus to you and thanks for the great work...;-) |

I would like to add that I didn't say (or intend to say anyway) that anyone was biased or going to take advantage to anything -- I would also like to point out that I only said that I didn't see a point...then Terry explained it to me, and I said I see his point.
So anyway, there's no need to be 'defending' the site council here, there's nothing to defend...was just asking.
