Yup, score dropping quicker than a frat boy at a tailgate party.

Dqd. Too bad. Was not doing well any case. I wasn't thinking at the time, only when I was asked for proof. But hey, no one died in the process.

Glad I'm not the only one. A bunch of cranks voting the last 24 hours.

Yes definitely not happy. For once, I thought I would be proud of the score that I was seeing and a first for me until you get these, trolls that do nothing but make you feel more worthless than anything. Was hovering in the 6.23-6.29 then I check in today and massive hit down to nearly 6.05. :(

In the same boat as you. I just wish everyone would start adding one to their vote just to give the impression our images are good :)

I'll join you. Was pushing 6.3 at 17 votes ago. Barely holding on to a 6. This place can piss a person off. And to be clear, it's more what I consider a lack of any real regulations or enforcement around the so-called "voting rules", which actually do exists, while picking nits with editing rules ad nauseum.

That gives me an idea for a photo setup - too bad the Woody challenge isn't expert editing rules.

My son had used exact same technique back in 2008... and he had modeled his entry on another well-known DPCer. So naturally being out of the game awhile, I didn't think twice about it. It was only when I started going over all the rule sets again, after considering entering the Propaganda Poster Challenge, that I saw that rule and knew I had probably violated it. A quick email to the site council explaining everything confirmed my suspicions.

I am still unclear on one thing in the EE Rules though. Maybe you can help? If I wanted to draw a shape & fill with color (say for example a text bubble) and add to my photo, is that allowed in Expert? They say no graphics or clip art can be added, but I'm talking about using the pen tool in Photoshop to draw the shape & fill with a color on a separate layer. It would be a secondary part of the image... which would mainly consist of my original photo.

Thanks in advance for your (or anyone who reads this) help!


It's legal to draw in stuff... in Expert.
