I'm feeling the same way today. I know this site can be a bit frustating sometimes. I got a picture DQ'ed yesterday because of the border I put, and my latest submission is going down from a 7.8 to a 5.8 today. Unbelievable!
(sorry if someone reads this twice, as I also wrote this on another thread)

Arrrgh! I am also feeling frustrated. I think I'm going to post my picture on PhotoSig so I can find out what's wrong with it -- or, validate my own opinion that I submitted an awesome photo :) I have never ranted before but I swear, my photo isn't getting it's props! - I'm OK, really, I am.
Just so you all know...I am not going to post to PhotoSig until after the week of destroying my confidence is over.

Didn't expect to win or even get into the top 20, but didn't think my photo was that bad either. I'm new and trying to learn. 92 votes and NO comments. How am I supposed to know what could use improvement? Right now at 4.6087. Very frustrating!

The reason I got disqualified was for using three borders instead of two which is the max allowed). I didn't even notice when I did this, for it wasn't on purpose. The borders where tiny: one black pixel, 5 purple pixels, 1 black pixel. I accept my mistake and the disqualification, but I wonder how many people look for the tiniest detail just to disqualify pictures, and I mean details beyond the real faking of a picture. Anyway, my picture wasn't doing so good, it wasn't as if it was going to place in the top of the list.
I started voting on the Landscape challenge today, and out of 11 votes so far, I've seen two pictures with 3 borders. I don't plan to request for their DQ.
On another thread that got buried, I complained that I didn't even get an email notifying me about the disqualification. I know that DPC sends emails to request for the original image to analize for faults, and I also know that mine didn't need the original image to veirfy if I put threee borders on it.
But still, I think that email is needed to notify the user. What if I didn't log in on Sunday and didn't get to see the disqualification message? What if I log in on Monday and look for my place on the challenge results and I can't find my picture anywhere?
Admins, please read this and take this suggestion. Sorry if you read this twice.

Yes. I do get emails about sumbission confirmations, weekly updates, PMs but no DQ notification.
