HUGS! Private message me the title and I'll give you a comment! I don't have time to vote on the Open Challenges anymore, and I probably won't get around to doing 20% so my score won't stick, but I know how nasty it is to not have enough comments to explain your score. |

So far I've rated 38 and commented on 34 of these. But with the number of entries and time constraints I won't get much past the 20% barrier - although I will get that far at least.
The two times I've entered contests I've voted on every image and commented on at least 75%.
Perhaps there should be a rule that you need to vote on a certain percentage if you enter a submission. Perhaps even comment on a certain percentage as well - even if only 10% or something.
Yeah, I'm sure it's full of problems but it might at least motivate some people to put back what they get out of the sight. Plus, I actually learn quite a lot from studying others photo's closely so I'm learning whilst commenting. |

10% of 250 entries is 25 photos... now, i know some people comment on atleast that many, but i've just a beginner for now (only got my cam at christmas) and i dont think that if i did 25 comments at this point, that they'd be much more than "good job, etc" .. when i make a comment, i make it to a point for it to be constructive. granted up to now i've only given 4 comments and they've all been "helpfull", but i'm starting to learn photography, and as i get more free time (last semester of university here! plus a part time job.. getting rushed ..), as right now, i barely have time to even enter. All in all, i dont think demanding a certain number of comments would be wise, as i'd just be filling up comments with nothing more than a pointless "nice pic", and people deserve more than that. In time i'll get to writing more usefull comments, but for now i rather not.. I hope this makes sense :)

For a short time they tried barring you from submitting unless you voted on 95% or commented on some percentage the week before. That was wildly unpopular, and they removed it. I doubt the admins will try anything similar again. |

I thought that voting first and then commenting later would be easier, but it is harder. I am trying to comment on the ones I voted on and it keeps bring to another picture to vote on. Does that make sense? I think starting next week, when I vote on a photo I will give it a comment then.

the sad fact of the matter is that, in these really large challenges, only the most striking and/or most controversial or provocative photos end up getting a lot of comments.
even good photos with above average scores will not get that many comments, simply because people have too big a job on their hands.
i try to comment as i go and i usually can make a few comments before i just have to get a bunch of voting done. then i try to come back and hit some that i wanted to comment on ...
