It seems to me to the inclusion of a border in a few recent challenges has tipped off who took the picture during the voting period. Not that it's a big deal, but I've started to be able to pick out certain members, based on the border, when voting and I'm usually right. Isn't the border something of a signature and, therefore, somewhat unfair to allow?

OK... I admit it. You got me there.

Mine are the ones with the thin 1 pixel wide black borders. :)

No. People often recognize models in photos here too, or locations. "Breaking anonymity" is not the kind of rule for which one would be DQ'd. If you recognize who took a picture, you can choose whether or not to factor that knowledge into your vote, but please remember that about 180 voters probably don't recognize it.
