Is a guy like this even deserve to be on the site?
//www.dpchallenge.com/profile.php?USER_ID=34662
it's obvious it's a fake account, i'd like to see with which of 20,000 worth of camera he took his 2 entries !!!
My 2 cents.

It certainly looks odd, but I don't think that we have anywhere near enough information to pass such judgement.
A senario to be considered, if by some chance I was making silly money with photography and one of my kids wanted to take an interest, then I would let them list the equipment that they have access to (although I would not encourage it) and let them experiment in the dpc community.
Son - "Dad, these effects are so cool"
Dad - "Actually Son, I don't think so"
Son - "There are too! Jimmy said they were way cool, he taught me!"
Dad - "Ok Son, why don't you submit a pic or two to dpc and see how they get on..."

I would still like a site admin to check it out. This person is a second account from an existing member or someone who is goofing off. But I still can't believe it's real. You do have a good point though.

It does seem odd. I would like the site admins to check on it and find out what happens.

Personally I am intrigued as to why on earth you would care.

hey...he's been selected as a favorite. Maybe he's really young or maybe he doesn't know how to delete a camera once he adds it. I don't think he's going to give you much competition when things are said and done. If it really is a second account, the admins can tell that sort of thing through IP addresses. Unless of course he has once account for home and one for the library -- but if that was the case, I would think that person *wouldn't* want to draw attention to themselves with all those cameras listed and by entering those two into a challenge -- not to mention the fact that even if it was, and he is voting his own entries a 10, one 10 vote out of, on average 300, would only increase his own score by .013 -- that is assuming he would have a 6.0 without. Any score bringing him closer to ribbon-contention would be affected less by the 10 vote. A vote of 7.0 for example would only bump his score up by .009 but his 1-vote on your 7.0 would drop your score by .02. Hardly making any difference in *most* challenges but ... like I said if it is a second account, I think the admin's will find out.

I don,t really care, what I care about is people with 2 accounts so they can vote twice. But I guess I wouldn't put it so obvious.
That's why it's in the rant forum. It's just a rant.

This account has entered twice, but never ever voted on a single picture.
And it looks to me like a spoof account based on .. something rather not nice. :) Funny, but not nice.

Strange......he hasn't even voted........look at his average vote cast.

| If you'd like to see an admin check something or someone out, the best way to do it is to contact them privately, not start a thread for public ridicule. |
