so what is the point in cheating? you dont win anything physical and its cheapens what the ribbons ultimately represent.

i dont get it...

As long as there is a metric to measure two values, you can guarantee someone is going to game the system. It happens everywhere for everything. Maybe I'm simply being extremely cynical, I don't know, but my experience in everything has pointed in that direction. I have very little faith in people when it comes time to playing fair.

CS


as evidenced by this challenge. :)

The scores are updated but the histograms on the photo pages are not. Seems a shame to have those lousy looking histograms as a legacy of the cheating.

Finally the proof I needed to justify avoiding the open challenges, the dodgy voting has been going on for a while, or so it seems.

A few bad apples does not warrant abandoning the orchard.

I know where I stand in the members challenges as multiple accounts is very unlkely so if my score sucks I know it's due to my image and not some multiple account fiend.

Well now I understand the positive comments with votes of 2. The accounts in question have been deleted.

I dont think it was. The majority of the ones that were banned became members during the autumn challenge.

Even so it is unlikely to be the first time and probably won't be the last time it happens either.
