For votes of (1 - 2) or (9 - 10), the person must put a comment in. The comment must be a critique saying why, in photographic, terms it got that score.

Serves two purposes. Will help others to read what makes a (1 - 2) or a (9 - 10) score in a photographic sense. Since it is applied to the lower and upper ranges a person really would not lose that much time in describing what was so bad or so good.

I supported this idea, but only think it should be for 1 or 10.

Unfortunately, I think that this would just mean that people got 2's and 9's instead of 1's and 10's. Similar ideas have been suggested in the past in the forums. I think that in principle it is a good idea, but in practice wouldn't really solve the problem.

When we vote, we must vote on a least 20% of the entries. Why not have it that you must critique at least 10% or more of the entries. I came here to learn how to be a better photographer and I am not receiving the quanity or quality critiques I had hoped to get.

I think that enforcing a 10% critique would address the quantity part of your concern, but not the quality part. I think that the manditory commenting would lead to a rise of cut and paste comments or one and two word comments (as has been on the rise for the commenters free challenge).

I have spent alot of time looking at challenge archives and have noticed that people who recieve 1's or 9-10's aleadly get alot of comments. its the "average" photo that is getting left out. I have competed in 2 challenges for a total of 13 comments. How can an average photographer compete with a photographer that scores 10 without knowing what they are doing wrong or how to make thier photos beter without the much needed(and craved) feedback. IMHO the ones that need the comments arent the high scoring ones at all( as most of thoes comments are "nice, great photo,I love this,my top pick"). everyone just needs to spend a little more time helping eachother. I think alot dont comment on the low scoreing one either because they dont want to help a possiable competeter in the future ot they are afraid of hurting anothers feelings. If one would tell a bad point and a possiable way to fix that aspect of a photo i dont think anyone would be hurt...and if they are that thin skinned they really dont need to be competing in the first place.

I agree with what you are saying. I too have been one of those people that leave a one or two word comments. However, as its been said in other post, what about a voting critique(composition, lighting, etc) where you had to vote on 10% just using the voting critiques line items and leave a reason as to why you rated it this way and what improvments could be made.

"Why not have it that you must critique at least 10% or more of the entries."
[[[Because, it's already hard enough to just vote let alone comment on 10%.

I think every month you vote on all photos in all submissions (or at least 90%) and comment on 50% you should get a free month membership credit!
