What's with all the flame type photographs repeated in each challenge requesting people to vote low?

The quest for the "brown" ribbon. i.e. last place.

in the speed f/s there is a blurry shot of some fire and the title is: pleasevotethisathree
08/17/2007 04:13:31 PM · #9
An almost identical image appears in some of the other challenges, for example in the Rural Landscapes, saying 'Pleasevotethisaone' etc. etc.

Already did.

I don't vote on them at all.
08/17/2007 04:54:32 PM · #13
Your first instinct is to give them a ten. But then that pushes them up in the standings above people who actually submitted a shot they were proud of. Why should others have their photos dropped down in the standings just because some idiot wants last place? If they want it, let em have it. It's not a big deal. If you don't wanna follow their directions, give em a 2.

Sounds like either a "frustrated photographer", or someone who just wants to see what we'll all do with voting.

How about a 3? That puts it in "nowhereville"! LOL

Oh, it's probably a very nice guy just having a bit of fun.
08/17/2007 05:06:29 PM · #16
no you can't let them have the ultimate last place with an average of 1:) and you can't give them a 10 because you can't let them win with that crap.

i say give them a 4:)

hehehehe
they won't be last
they won't be first and it's sure as hell no any stand out score:)
08/17/2007 05:07:45 PM · #17
Sorry. My bad. I thought '3' was the highest score. Go ahead and give them a 10 and I'll have all my friend voters and ghost accounts correct their votes also. Thank you. :)

i thought we weren't allowed to discuss specific images within a challenge
*runs away before SC detonates thread*
AHHHHHH!!!

besides that, I don't understand why you would want to get a brown ribbon (well maybe once for fun) because it lowers you average so much. However I guess if you are white rook then it's you life dream :)

How is an average any different than a virtual ribbon? It's all made up after all. A game, right? You think a high average is good. Someone else might be playing the game I want the lowest average. It's all how you look at it. ;)

give them a 5. The low end always gets more comments and views than the middle does anyhow. Many 5 ish pics have 0-2 comments. Most bottom 20 pics have quite a few more than that.
