...just imagine the work that this will create with 300+ plus submissions where the camera date is (mistakenly)set to 01/01/2001 and 300 different 'reasons' as to why the picture should be allowed.


I completely agree. :)

Seems like this one got blowed up cuz mav and a couple of his groupies wanted to call attention to the pic.


We are not groupies for sticking up for him. We are his friends, and have been for a long time. I have stuck up for him a lot and I think any friend would, so please don't call me a groupy.

What is exactly the time limit to DQ? one minute or one week or one year?

This is just my humble opinion.

CHEERS!

There is no explicit time limit for DQ's. We do explicitly request verification of (top 5) photos after each challenge has closed, so it should surprise no-one that some photos are disqualified after the results are posted. Anything within the first week is completely normal.

In the few cases where we have uncovered evidence of ongoing actual cheating, we have gone back and DQ'd many past photos, but we do not routinely investigate old photos. However, if we are ever made aware of a photo which appears to be a deliberate violation of the rules, I have no problem with DQing it.

I don't see why merely evading detection or capture past some arbitrary statute of limitations should make an otherwise illegal photo legal ... this is, after all, a matter of honor amongst ourselves, not a criminal matter. Having a illegal photo knowingly remain in place in a challenge result or gallery demeans the effort of every other participant. Since there is no consequence of consequence for the DQd photographer, I see no reason to allow such a photo to stay.

If you were a real friend you woulda told him, privately, that he was making a fool of himself, to start acting like an adult, and just zip it. But it's too late for that now, you all have shown your collective ass. This thread ought to get locked.

You haven't said anything productive towards the discussion except to slag on me and my friends/supporters/those who think SC did something wrong.

If you read the middle of the thread, ALL OF YOU, you would have seen that ole mav and ole SC already did the "screw it, it's ok" and got over it. It wasn't til AFTER that did you start in. Why bother? What's it to you?

On a related to the lock note: mk, why not just move it to rant? I meant to use 'language' in my posts.

There is no need to be rude to me. don't tell me how a real friend would act, because you witnessed it in this thread. And he never made a fool of himself. He was angry, and then he accepted it. That is a very mature attitude if you ask me.

And if this does happen again ever with him, I will be there again and no one will ever stop me from doing that. I take great offence to you calling me a groupy and also your comments in the last post.

Matt has been one of my best friends over the last three years, and I value that greatly.

Terms of use are the same site and forum wide...makes no difference if it's in rant.

Who was the dummie that didn't know what date was in his cam? or maybe he did know.

What I'd like to find out is.... Was the original request for DQ justified?

Any body else curious about that?

Did the SC get a chance to investigate the legality of the photo? Mybe the submitting of a file with an illegal date was a diversionary tactic to head off further investigation. And all this garbage in the forums is just a smokescreen. And maybe the SC can take a look at the original file for mav's previous entry to see if it had a valid date in EXIF.

These points have all been discussed previously at (excessive) length. I prefer to not re-type things which are already "on the record."

I'd like a SC member to reply to this please?
(answer: it was a dq request for the snail being pasted in. the april_057 pic in my portfolio is the original for this file - so no, the original DQ request was not validated.)

Why the witch hunt, MinAlex? Why the anger at MY anger when my anger and everyone else's is pretty much gone?

hmm? What is YOUR motive? Mine was to fight for my pic. My friends was to fight for me. SC was to explain themselves. And you?
